NPC:/conclude This whole town is a slave to the drug trade. Everyone lives in fear of the mayor and his cronies; those who stand up to him are killed, and their children... their children are sent off with the cultists.

NPC:/excuse I've heard the crying from the mayor's home. He keeps them locked up there, pacified with the powder, until the priestesses come to collect them for their sarifices. It's horrifying.

NPC:/talk But if you could destroy the source of the drug, his henchmen would revolt! I might even be able to use the ensuing chaos to escape this place unnoticed... and to help those children escape, too.

NPC:/secret The mayor's men get the powder from the Glowing Carapaces in Shadowcopse. Destroy them, and his whole operation will fall apart. But watch out: the powder can have dangerous and unexpected effects in its pure form. Be careful, okay?
