Requester: Lawrence De'Ataria: Eisenwald's Head Magical Researcher
Request Difficulty: C
Location: Oshibana
Requirements: Must have completed: Investigating The Veil
Reward: 15,000J

Story: Upon taking this request you will be contacted by the same mysterious hooded man that hired you for Investigating The Veil. He will reveal himself as an assistant researcher helping out Lawrence De'Artaria research once previously thought lost magic. And that Lawrence would like to hire you again to test out a spell they discovered while researching the Necronomicon. As you seem expendible enough, just in case the spell goes wrong.

Once you accept the offer, the man will take you to Lawrence in his lab. Lawrence is a sagely looking old man with a barely noticable malevolent glint in his grey eyes. If asked, he will reveal little information about the spell, only stating that it will supposedly send you into man's collective unconsiousness. A place that is normally only accessed while one is dreaming. He will then strap you into a chair, not unlike those you see in a dentists office. Before placing a helmet strapped to the machine onto your head, covering your face and shutting out all light. He will then cast the spell and you will seemingly see a flash of comforting gold light and be bathed in some sort of unnatural warmth. Before you are suddenly whisked off to somewhere else, only noticing the change in scenery when you fall several feet above the ground into a grassy feild.

Lawrence will have established a telepathic link with you at this point, explaining that you are now in a place called the “Dreamlands” and that your physical body is still in the lab. As only your mind can travel to this place, but while you are there your mind will maintain a physical form and is bound to the normal laws of nature, just that it is in a different “Reality” of sorts now. He will also explain that there is supposedly an artifact of great power nearby, and that the spell should allow you to bring back objects and other things from the Dreamlands. Therefore, Lawrence wants you to bring back this artifact for his research.

The only clue that he can give is that it should be nearby. As you arrived within a mile or so of it. After searching for a bit you arrive at a strange ruin of what looks like a chapel. Going in you find a strange glowing stone sitting on the altar of the chapel. Strangely untouched thought there has been evidince of looters in the chapel. Though this is probbably the articfact Lawrence was talking about.  Upon touching it a pair black, winged, demonic looking like creatures attack you, along with what looks like a oozing ameoba like creature oozing off of the ceiling and they all attack you. Upon defeating them Lawrence will contact you again, expessing extreme interest in the creatures and mentioning that he may like some live specimins at some point. Then he will bring you back to his lab, the only indication of your location changing being a strange rushing feeling and your vision suddenly going black.

Once you are unstrapped from the machine you will find that that orb you found in the ruined church is now in your hand. Lawrence will immediately snatch it and express great intrest in it, practically ignoring you existence as he hands you your payment and sends you out of his lab.
Extra Information: 2 Nightgaunts: D-class Darkness based melee attacker who wil try to maul you with its claws. You may be able to find some treasure in the church that the looters missed.

• Bronze Dice (+500 words): Upon rolling the bronze dice on a 1-5 you find nothing in the church. On a 6-10 you find a silver statuette that is worth 5,000 jewels.
