Without Bernard

event Big Shell · Events (all zones)

In this place, a turtle man is napping in front of a huge shell that seems to be his home. He rests in a hammock near a carefully cultivated garden of exotic seaweeds. Even though you don't know much about these particular seaweeds, it's clear they require a lot of work and knowledge to flourish like that. You wonder how useful they might be for your mission. You could wake him and ask if he can spare some, or you could try to gather them quietly without disturbing the old creature. Will you awaken the old turtle man from his peaceful sleep to ask for his help, or will you risk taking from his precious garden without his knowledge?
