Aduh… adventurers, this time Pak Lang really needs help. This one no funny business, ah.

Last night, one knight came walking into our kampung.

Full armour from head to toe. Cannot see face, cannot see skin... nothing. Only six red eyes glowing from inside the helmet, staring in every direction at once.

The knight went from house to house asking only one question:

“Do you know someone named Dax?”

One villager answered no.

The knight killed him.

Another villager became frightened and answered yes.

The knight killed her also.

Yes kena. No also kena. What kind of question is this?!

People tried running, hiding, even keeping quiet, but that thing continued searching through the village. It does not seem to care about the answer. It only wants this person named Dax, and it is killing anyone unfortunate enough to stand in its way. It is going after Dawnport, I hope my warning reaches them sooner than the knight.

Pak Lang tried to distract it so the others could escape.

Bad idea.

The knight struck Pak Lang across the body before leaving. The wound will not close, and there is something burning beneath the skin like hot iron. Mak Lang says ordinary medicine cannot treat it. She can prepare a potion, but she needs several rare medicinal herbs before the poison reaches Pak Lang’s heart.

So please, adventurers, go quickly.

Find the herbs, bring them to Mak Lang and help her finish the potion before Pak Lang mati betul-betul.
