Accepting the Mission
A new dungeon has been unlocked! 4th Branch: Haunted Woods
Magan: We'll be issuing a DOE Radar to those of you venturing into the fourth dungeon.
Obtained key item: DOE Radar!
Magan: With this, you can confirm a DOE's movements on both the Zone Map and Dungeon Map. The number of DOEs is shown in the center. That indicates how many there are in the dungeon you're exploring. The radar changes from blue to yellow to red to show that the DOE is getting near the surface, a fort, or your party. The radar has another important function you should keep in mind: the forced return function. When there's a DOE attack on Aslarga, it will take effect and send your party back to town. Your excursion will be a failure. However, this function is necessary to gather adventurers to defeat the DOE. I trust you'll understand. Hm... A crowd is starting to gather. Here to accept the mission, I expect. Excuse me while I deal with them.
...A stone monument catches your eye in a spot with a nice view. Something sways in the wind at its base. It would seem to be a bunch of small flowers.
Reporting the Mission
Magan: A monster trapped in amber!? Dr. Stein... In your research reports, you wrote that amber petrifies over a very long time.
Sarah: That's correct. The monster in amber might be an ancient species. One from so long ago that there are no records of it... I believe that ancient monster may be a DOE. If the DOE is an ancient species, it would explain why it has such a different physiology from the monsters we know.
Magan: No wonder they're so hard to damage... They must have found the strength to destroy barrier stones within the amber. But if that's the case then how were the DOEs trapped in the amber reawakened?
Sarah: The monster on the lowest level of the dungeon might have cracked the amber containing the DOE. It then absorbed the cracked amber, transforming into an even greater beast. Not to mention awakening the DOE... That could also explain why there were signs of amber absorption in the monster but none on the DOE. That monster likely ruled the dungeon, even before the enormous amber chunks ended up there.
Magan: Then... will there be no more DOEs, now that the ruler of the dungeon is no more?
Sarah: Probably not as frequently, no. But they might still appear. I have one other theory about what's causing them to appear. The topographical changes of the dungeon could be causing it. A fort keeps the layout from changing, but not the zones. It's very possible that any buried DOE amber could be shattered when a zone's features change.
Magan: But in that case, wouldn't DOEs have appeared much earlier? We haven't seen any for an entire year.
Sarah: We didn't have many adventurers before. But now we do, and therefore more changes in the dungeons, and therefore...
Magan: I see... Then we will need to be on guard for DOE appearances in other dungeons as well from now on.
Sarah: Yes. I would also advise caution in any areas that have become mystery dungeons recently.
> “I'm looking forward to it.”
- Sarah: Heheh... I knew we could count on you.
> “Leave the monsters to us.”
- Sarah: Heheh... I knew we could count on you.
> “The forts will save us.”
- Sarah: Heheh... I knew we could count on you.
Magan: Thank you... I'm glad that you're here. Aslarga is so fortunate to have you...
