Part II: Believers

Briefing

I call in some favors from people I know in Sharkhead Isle to get information about Rulu-Shin meeting place, namely man named Harry Stein. He is another artifact dealer in the area, one of many. His response, however, makes me suspicious.

He says that Rulu-Shin do not exist, that they are some tale made up by Arachnos to scare people. From my training in Spetsnaz, I know he is lying about something, but I do not know what. You let me worry about that, however.

  • Alright, I will. But i need a location on where the Rulu-Shin could be.

Location I can give you, Character, do not worry. There are only so many graveyards within Sharkhead, as I am sure you are aware of. I have arranged primitive boat for you to use to get there.

You could simply walk there, but look outs will be observing entrance to graveyard. It is best to sneak in from other side, surprise them.

You will want to find any Rulu-Shin in graveyard, and then pierce into inner workings. I should warn you, what you may see down there may be disturbing.

Unnecessary Solicitation

I will continue to look into Harry Stein. He may be playing a small role in all of this.

Mission Objective(s)

Map: IOM_SHARKHEAD_GRAVEYARD

The boat slowly comes to a halt near the cemetary in Sharkhead Isle.

    • Find the Rulu-Shin guarding the meeting place
    • 3 clues to find
    • Speak with Rulu-Shin Guardian
    • Defeat the Rulu-Shin Gatherer

You have stopped the Rulu-Shin gathering and found out where they're storing the artifacts!

Notable NPCs

You found scribbled directions on the Rulu-Shin.

The Path to the Beyond
You found scribbled directions on the Rulu-Shin detailing the, 'Path to the Beyond'. Most of the words in there seem to be nonsensical. All you can make out is that in their meeting spot there is a guardian to their main gathering. The only way to get safe passage is to answer the guardian's questions, or as they say, to be a 'true believer'. Perhaps there are items in the area of the cave that can help you gather information on the Rulu-Shin.

You found a small artifact littered with strange runes.

Eyeball Symbol
You found inside one of the chests an eyeball symbol. Looking at it closer, it almost seems like the eyeball is inside some sort of hideous jaw. The eyeball looks lifelike enough that you almost expect it to twitch, or even blink. It seems like it is searching for something, or even watching you, waiting for you to do something.

At the base of the symbol is an image of a lithe creature and a hulking brute, but it seems as if the eye is being venerated above them.

You found something that seems to be called a kora fruit seed.

Kora Fruit Seedling
You discovered some sort of odd seedling inside of the chest. It looks like the seedling died some time ago. A not in the chest indicated that this was a seedling for something called 'kora fruit' and that it can be used to attract the monsters of Rularuu.

You found some sort of eyeball symbol.

Spherical Artifact
You pulled out an artifact shaped like a sphere which has several runes on it. As you touch it, an image of some dark, twisted place enters into your mind. The sky is twisted and purple, and in the distance an impressive floating fortress looms. The sky cracks from lightning, while silands swirl around. A pair of ominous eyes appear in the distance, as if this place is home to some sort of monster. The images fade, and you can tell something powerful is attempting to control your emotions, to spark some sort of reaction out of you.

Rulu-Shin Cellphone
You defeated the Rulu-Shin acting as the gatherer for the group. You searched the man and find, of all things, a cellphone on him. It appears even cultists who worship the coming of a being who will destroy all of the universe still need phones to communicate.

You go through the contents of the cellphone and find several old voicemail messages. The latest one is from a man named Harry Stein, saying that he has 'moved the items to the store, further help shouldn't be a problem.'

Debriefing

Did you find Rulu-Shin disturbing, Character? I have seen many things in my day, cults bent on self-destruction, but Rulu-Shin rank high up there on crazy list.

You say that cellphone of Rulu-Shin gatherer mentioned Harry Stein? Hrmph, very interesting, confirms suspicions I had of him and Rulu-Shin.

Group is getting bigger everyday by luring in people who are more and more influential. Harry Stein has low amount of influence in grand scheme of things, but is great benefit to group's current goals.

I would not be surprised if they have many more powerful members in America; possible base may even be located there. But you and I do not need to be concerned about that now. We have job to do, regarding Harry Stein.
