In-game description: Now apprised of the situation, Nahbdeen is eager to take action.
Nahbdeen: Confound it. We were so concerned with the explosion that we failed to recognize that the threat had not yet passed! Nahbdeen: We must alert command at once and instruct the people to seek shelter.
Q1: What will you say? A1: Is there a way to the top of Khadga? A1: I'll go and see if the fiend is indeed there.
Nahbdeen: What? You mean to go there to investigate!? Nahbdeen: But there is no telling what manner of enemy this may be! Nahbdeen: Then again...you are more than capable of defending yourself... As you wish. We will leave this in your hands. Nahbdeen: The Giantsgall Grounds are situated at the base of Khadga. I myself am not familiar with the mountain paths, but the quarry workers are bound to know many. Nahbdeen: Qetanur, for instance─he has worked there the longest. Go well, my friend, and may the Sisters keep you. Nahbdeen: If someone can tell you how to scale Khadga, it will be Qetanur. Seek him out at the Giantsgall Grounds.
Qetanur: You want to climb Khadga!? You couldn't have chosen a worse time... Qetanur: There was an earthquake earlier, and it triggered a rockslide. I'm afraid the main path to the summit may be blocked. Qetanur: But if you're determined to go, then I suggest you speak with Sramul. He climbs like a langur, and might know some other way up, if not the gentlest. Qetanur: If you commit to climbing Khadga, take care not to slip. Most routes were treacherous before, and I don't dare to imagine how they are now.
Nahbdeen: I thank you for your offer of help. I pray the Sisters speed your way to the summit─and keep you safe from whatever you find there.
Sramul: How to reach the top of Khadga!? After what has happened, that should be the last place anyone sane would want to be... Sramul: But yes, I am familiar with another route that should still be passable. I was once afraid of heights, you see, and used it to build up my courage. Sramul: Though I cannot say I have the courage to brave it under these conditions! I'll take you to where the route starts, but no further, all right? Q2: Proceed to Khadga?
Sramul: I can show you where my route to the top of Khadga begins, but you'll have to head up there on your own. Some may call me a coward, but they will not call me a fool.
Q2: Proceed to Khadga?
Masked. Report if displayed.
Zero: My inquiries delayed me. I'm not accustomed to conversation. Zero: But I'm glad I arrived in time to speak with Rubicante... Zero: As much as I understand his motives, I believe there's a better way─yours. Zero: The future you strive for is one I wish to see. Zero: And I want to know why I feel this way. Why this fire burns in my breast.
