I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but you mentioned that you had more information on the Stalkers, the other night. Could you please tell me what you've discovered? No matter how small it seems, everything helps. I'm sure a cop like you knows that as well as anyone.


Also, I have to ask - how well do you know Rabukan the Druddigon? Between Krum's death and some of our findings, there's shady business going on around her. I'm not trying to directly accuse anyone right now, but if she could be in trouble, or causing trouble, we need to know.

You approach Pormalu in the wake of Fern's death while he is at the police station, seemingly overwhelmed with the paperwork and the loss of his colleague. You express your sympathies for his loss, and he turns to you and nods.

"Fern died a hero," he tells you, looking sincere, "although from what we found, pain and death was the price. But what she did reminds us that we can't stop and give in to what we are dealing with here."

"I know you and the other Emissaries have also had your hands full," Pormalu tells you, understanding that it has been a struggle for everyone trying to put an end to the Stalkers. "But, despite the troubles we've all had, I did have more information which hopefully will be useful to you."

"I had a recent report come in from by call center," Pormalu explains. "Apparently, Dachi, the landlord of Ironrock Apartments, reported seeing something like an unusual, scratched piece of metal on the 28th floor in room 2830. Normally, I would dismiss that as being nothing unusual, but she mentioned that the room that was supposed to be vacant was full of scratches as well, but there wasn't anyone in her tenant list that was supposed to be there. We haven't had the chance to directly investigate it, especially with Fern's death, but it's something we need to consider looking into."

"While we've been doing our own investigations, we've decided to take things one step further," Pormalu informs you as he shows you some hand-written notes in a somewhat scrawl-like handwriting. "We decided to cut the city squatters a break in exchange for any information that they find around town. Though what they do is illegal trespassing, we're desperate for information and they need amnesty. Surprisingly, the plan has been effective. One Azumarill squatter mentioned seeing an usually warped door on the fourth sublevel of the Inspiration Chemical Plant. He mentioned the warping looking intentional and that it looked like it had been recently used. Thankfully, our pact with the squatters has been helping us identify what the Stalkers have been handling while they're more aware of where their own are."

"Lastly, they also think there's a link in the basement floors of the old Dovac Foods Manufacturing Plant," Pormalu explains. "One squatter had to be admitted to the hospital after they saw something that gave them significant mental trauma. In exchange for his report, we offered to pay for his medical care, which includes injuries not related to this incident. Still, what he found sounds like the work of a Stalker. It's definitely something that I'm hoping one of you can investigate. Right now, we're understaffed and without Fern, we're even more limited in what we can do."

You then ask about Rabukan the Druddigon and the shady business.

"Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to question Rabukan personally," Pormalu tells you, beginning to wonder if there's something up with her. "Normally, I'd like to think of someone as selfless as a firefighter would be trustworthy, but it's wrong to assume anything right now. If I manage to get the opportunity, I will ask her, but I don't know how effective it would be."

"Hopefully what Dachi reported and what those squatters found is a helpful lead," Pormalu tells you. "If this works well, I'll continue working with the local squatters to see what they can find. Maybe changing our strategy like this will help, and maybe this will be something the Stalkers won't anticipate. If everyone works together, we can pull through this."
