>Hail, Roshawna Rhorer

A pleasure to speak with you! You appear to be a foreigner to Katta Castellum as well.
I hope your reasons for visiting this noble city are more leisurely than my own.
In addition to my normal duties as a Shar Vahl Emissary to Katta Castellum there is the issue of the [tormented vah shir] in Tenebrous Mountains that must be dealt with.

>What tormented vah shir?

Recently the skeletons of Vah Shir have been spotted wandering the Tenebrous Mountains ferociously and blindly attacking the living.
There are legends among my people that speak of Vah Shir warriors that were murdered dishonorably in their sleep by a traitor allied with [dark spirits].
The spirits of these murdered warriors become trapped in their decaying mortal shells for often many years before they are driven mad by the despair, rage, and torturous experience.
When this negative spirit energy becomes strong enough the corpses rise and attempt to slaughter all that crosses their path in their state of eternal rage.
Spirits tormented in such a manner must be assisted so that they may finally find peace in death.
Will you [help the souls] find peace?

>What dark spirits?

Not all spirits that can be called upon by those who are in touch with the spirit realms are of good intentions.
There are spirits who seek to destroy and corrupt.
These dark spirits are best avoided and kept from manifesting their influence on the mortal realms.
Unfortunately the foolish or the weak willed are tempted by their promises of power.
Most who deal with the dark spirits are shortly driven mad by the spirits influence or destroyed by the very powers they were promised.
There are tales however of powerful shaman capable of harnessing and controlling the dark spirits and their evil powers of corruption.
These wicked traitors to the Vah Shir teachings are called [Rakshasa].

>Who Rakshasa?

Like I said the Rakshasa are spoken of only in old tales.
Whether they truly existed or not can not be proven for sure and the elder spiritist insist they are nothing more than creatures of fiction.
If there truly is a Rakshasa alive today it would be a powerful creature indeed.
They are said to no longer have a physical body of their own, having traded it to a powerful evil spirit so that it may enter the mortal realm in exchange for dark gifts.
Because the Rakshasa no longer has a physical body of its own it must take the forms of other creatures and can not be destroyed with conventional weapons.

>I will help the souls

The only way for a tormented undead vah shir to be put to rest is to destroy its body and take its skull to Shar Vahl where our spiritualists can perform a ritual to cleanse and free the imprisoned spirit.
Fill this chest with skulls and return it to me and I will make the preparations for it to be sent to Shar Vahl.
The spiritualists there have just recently received word of the situation and will be prepared to perform the proper rituals when the time comes.

(Roshawna Rhorer)
Roshawna Rhorer purrs an incantation and waves her claws back and forth over the chest.
The runes inscribed on the chest and iron bands begin to softly glow with a golden light.

'You have done a great service for these poor souls.
I have sent for a courier to come for the chest of skulls but he is quite late in his arrival.
I will keep it safe until the courier arrives.

Your faction standing with Guardians of Shar Vahl got better.
You gain experience!!

Roshawna Rhorerは満足そうに呪文を唱え、そして腕を振り上げる。
胸と鉄帯に刻み付けられたルーンは金色の光を静かに放ち始める。

「あなたはこの低位の魂のために素晴らしいサービスをした。
私は運び屋がchest of skullsの為に来るように使いを出した。
しかし彼の到着は非常に遅れている。
運び屋が到着するまで、私はそれを安全に保管しておきましょう。」

(a vah shir courier)
Sorry for the delay mistress, I ran into a spot of trouble on the way here.
I am prepared to deliver your crate to the spiritists back home.

送れて申し訳ございません。途中でトラブルが生じたので。
私はspiritistsに返す為の箱を配達する用意ができています。


(Roshawna Rhorer)
I hope your journey back to Shar Vahl is less eventful.
Please make haste, the spiritists must receive this crate as soon as possible.

私はShar Vahlへ戻る旅が安全である事を祈ります。
どうか急いで下さい。spiritists はできるだけ早くこの箱を受け取らなくてはならない。

(a vah shir courier)
a vah shir courier tucks the crate of skulls under his arm and nods to Roshawna.
Suddenly the courier begins to shake, his fur stands on end, and his eyes glaze over expressionlessly.
The courier runs for the gates of Katta Castellum with an otherworldly howl echoing in his wake.

vah shirの運び屋が頭蓋骨入りの箱を腕に抱え込み、Roshawnaにうなずく。
突然運び屋は震え始める。彼の毛皮は逆立ち、そして目は生気を失っている。
運び屋は遠ぼえし、Katta Castellumの門に向かって走る。

(Roshawna Rhorer)
Stop him! Stop the courier!
An evil spirit has possessed him!
He must not escape with those skulls!
Catch him and bring back that crate of skulls!

彼を止めなさい！
運び屋を止めなさい！
悪魔が彼を乗っ取った！
あの頭蓋骨を持ち逃げさせてはいけない！

a vah shir courier has been slain by xxxx!

a vah shir cou's corpse slams the crate of skulls against the ground with unnatural force as he falls jarring it open.
With his dying breath the possessed courier mutters a dark incantation and the skulls burst from the chest sprouting new skeletal forms.

vah shirの急使が倒れ、彼の死体が不自然な力と共にSkullの箱が地面へ叩きつけられます。死に際、急使は邪悪な呪文をつぶやくと、Skullが新しい骸骨となり箱から飛び出してきます。

(Roshawna Rhorer)
It appears this situation is much more dire than we had first presumed.
It would be unsafe to send this crate within the walls of Shar Vahl should another innocent be possessed and the tormented vah shir be resurrected once more.
I shall scribe a note explaining the occurrences for you to deliver along with the crate to Spiritist Roleko at the vah shir outpost in Grimling Forest.

Your faction standing with Guardians of Shar Vahl got better.
You gain party experience!!

この状況は想像以上に危険であるように思います。この箱をShar Vahlへ送ることは狂気化された、また苦痛に満ちたVah Shirを再度生き返らせることになり、他の者にとって危険な事になるでしょう。私は、Grimling ForestのShar Vahl砦にいる Spiritists Rolekoへ、この箱と共に、この事件を説明する為記録書を書きましょう。

(Spiritist Roleko)
I require both the crate of tortured vah shir skulls and the report from Roshawna.

私はtortured vah shir skullの箱とRoshawnaからの報告書を必要とします。

It was wise of Roshawna to send you to me instead of risk bringing something so tainted by the dark spirits within the walls of Shar Vahl.
I shall begin the ritual immediately.
What is that?! Look! There is a grimling heading this way followed by what appear to be grimling undead.
Defend me while I perform the ritual.
Give me the head of that grimling and the skulls of those undead!

Your faction standing with Dar Khura got better.
You gain party experience!!

Shar Vahlに潜むDark spiritsで汚れた何者かに渡す危険の代わりに私のもとへ Roshawnaがあなたを送り出したことは賢明でした。
私は儀式を直ちに始めましょう。
何だあれは？！見よ！Grimlingがundeadを率いてこちらに向かっているではないか。
私が儀式を実行する間、私を防御してください。
そして、Grimlingの頭とそのUndead 達のSkullを渡してください。

(Spiritist Roleko)
I am grateful for your assistance.
I will be able to complete the rest of the ritual without danger, the spirits in the skulls have been calmed.
Please take this report of occurrences to Spiritist Cholsa in Shar Vahl.

Your faction standing with Dar Khura got better.

あなたの手助けに感謝します。
私は安全に残りの儀式を終えることが出来そうです。
どうかShar VahlのSpiritist Cholsaに、この事件の報告を持って行ってください。

(Scribe Cholsa)
So it seems there is more truth to the legends of the Rakshasa than is commonly believed.
I recall much of the tales of the wicked shaman who sold their souls and bodies to the dark spirits.
There is a ritual that must be performed to force the Rakshasa to fully materialize in our realm so that it may be slain.
I will write down the instructions for the ritual but the [components] I'm afraid may be difficult to obtain.

Your faction standing with Dar Khura got better.
You gain experience!!

それは、一般に信じられてるRakshasaの伝説より真実に近いように思います。
私は、 Dark spiritsに彼らの魂および身体を売った、邪悪なシャーマンの物語の多くを思い出します。
そのRakshasaを殺害する為に、我々の領域内で完全に実現できる儀式があります。
私は、儀式の為の指示でもあるが必要な材料を書き留めましょう。
ただし、私はそれらを得ることが困難かもしれないことを恐れています。

>What is components?

The legends instruct that the ritual requires an Amulet of Golden Rays crafted by a worshiper of the sun, Charcoal that burns with a Black Flame, and the Brain of a creature that can Leech the Thoughts of others.
If you manage to procure these items please take them with the instructions I have provided to Spiritist Roleko at the Grimling Forest Outpost.
The Rakshasa shall be summoned and slain there away from the citizens of Shar Vahl.

伝説によると、The sunの崇拝者により作成されたAmulet of Golden Rays、Black Flameで焼かれたCharcoal、知性を持ったLeechのBrainが儀式には必要です。
もし、これらのItemを得ることができたなら、Grimling Forestの砦にいるSpiritist Rolekoに出した指示書と共に渡してください。
RakshasaはShar Vahlの市民から遠ざけて召還し、倒しましょう。

(Spiritist Roleko)
Scribe Cholsa prepares the ritual components according to the ritual instructions.

'I will need to maintain my concentration to keep the Rakshasa from escaping back into the spirit realm.
If you kill him while he is materialized he will be slain and his body will remain material.
Bring me the head of the Rakshasa when he is slain.'

Your faction standing with Dar Khura got better.

Spiritist Rolekoは儀式的な手順に従って材料を準備する。

「私はあの世にRakshasaが逃げるのを阻止するために、精神を集中する必要がある。
奴が実体化した時なら倒す事ができるだろう。
そして奴の体は物質的なままでいだろう。
奴を倒してRakshasaの頭を持って来てください。」


(Rakshasa Karwoaro)
Hahahaha. You can not defeat that which is not of this realm of existence!
I shall slay your feeble meat shells for your audacity of summoning me here!

Hahahaha. お前はこの領域に存在しない者を倒すことなどできぬ！
大胆にもここへ私を召還した為に、お前の弱弱しい肉の塊は私に破壊されるのだ！

Rakshasa Karwoaro has been slain by xxxx!

Rakshasa Karwo says 'I shall have my revenge! I swear it!!

(Spiritist Roleko)
The threat of the Rakshasa appears to be eliminated.
You have the gratitude of the Dar Khura for your bravery and assistance.
Let us be wary however, the Rakshasa gained his power by allying with dark spirits that may not be indifferent to the Rakshasas death.

Your faction standing with Dar Khura got better.
You gain party experience!!

Rakshasaによる脅威は消え去ったように思います。
しかしながら我々は注意しなければならないでしょう。
RakshasaはDark Spiritsとの同盟により彼らの力を得ていたが、その事はRakshasaの死とは無関係では無いかもしれないということを。
