I am entrusting you with something more important this time. [k] @Gilgamesh You're going out to search for something. Head to the city of Kutha, and retrieve the Tablet of Destinies. [k] [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 0] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Merlin Oh, this is an unexpected job. The Tablet of Destinies is in Kutha? [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFace G 0] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] @Gilgamesh Correct. I remember seeing what lies in the future in Kutha when I was on my way back to Uruk from the underworld. [k] @Gilgamesh I meditated there, recorded the destiny upon a clay tablet, and left it there. [k] @Gilgamesh It's natural to lose one's memory before or after meditation. I won't even know what kind of destiny was written until I read it. [k] ?1:So, you wrote a diary in your sleep...? ?2:Does...that happen often? ?! @Gilgamesh Occasionally. Normally gods grant humans visions, but in my case, I can see destiny through my clairvoyance. [k] @Gilgamesh Sometimes, I learn of a “future” not related to me, and I record it subconsciously. [k] @Gilgamesh It's useless to me, but it's a priceless treasure to others. [k] [charaFace G 1] @Gilgamesh Of course, the Demonic Beasts will not see value in that. It's highly likely that it's been left untouched. [k] @Gilgamesh Oh, gather information about Ishtar along the way.[sr]There are a few ranches on the way to Kutha. [k] [charaFace G 0] @Gilgamesh I have damage reports coming from ranchers daily, all pointing the finger at Ishtar. Go find out more details. [k] ?1:Finally a job about the Three Goddess Alliance! [charaFace G 4] @Gilgamesh Hmm? ...Well, I guess it is. Much as it pains me to say it, that thing is still a goddess. [k] ?2:Is Kutha under Ishtar's influence? [charaFadeout G 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 0] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Siduri Yes. Ishtar flies around northeast of Uruk and has complete control over its sky. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk G] [charaFadein G 0.1 1] ?! [charaFace G 4] @Gilgamesh Warrior of Chaldea. I will grant you a pass to exit through Uruk's north gate. [k] @Gilgamesh However, you don't have much time for this mission. Learn all you can and return in three days' time.

A new mission from King Gilgamesh, Ana! [k] @Mash This time, it will be a trip to Kutha to reclaim an item. The mission includes Master, Merlin, you, and me. [k] @Mash Two days of traveling, and one day to search on-site. The best part is, the pay is twenty Priestess Silver! [k] [charaFace C 7] @Ana Twenty Priestess Silver... I'll get ready immediately. Please stand by.

Senpai, we should gather our belongings as well! [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk F] [charaFace F 0] [charaFadein F 0.1 2] [charaFadein E 0.1 0] @Ushiwakamaru Hmm... I'm jealous... Even we've never been to Kutha before. [k] @Ushiwakamaru I'd love to accompany you, but... [k] @Benkei You shouldn't, Lord Ushiwakamaru. We must head to the Demonic Front tomorrow. [k] @Benkei We are counting down to the mission to liberate Nippur. We cannot afford to go our separate ways. [k] [charaFace F 0] @Ushiwakamaru Say no more, Benkei. I understand. I just wish I could at least go on a journey with Lord [%1] once, but... [k] [charaFace F 1] @Ushiwakamaru Well, I'm sure we'll get another chance if we just wait patiently. Now it's our duty as samurai to see them off with a smile. [k] @Ushiwakamaru Kutha is under Ishtar's control, but it is right next to the territory of the Goddess of Demonic Beasts. [k] [charaFadeout E 0.1] [charaFadeout F 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaFadein F 0.1 1] @Ushiwakamaru There will be many powerful Demonic Beasts there as well. Please be careful on your way. [k] ?1:You be careful too, Ushiwakamaru. [charaFace F 1] @Ushiwakamaru Haha. All we do is stand atop a wall and shout out orders, but thank you for your kind words. [k] ?2:Next time, let's go together. [charaFace F 1] @Ushiwakamaru Yes. I will eagerly await the next opportunity. Here's hoping it'll be as relaxing as paddling down a gentle stream. [k] ?!

Then, let's head for Kutha. [k] @Merlin After the formation of the Three Goddess Alliance, Kutha disappeared without warning. [k] @Merlin One day, we suddenly lost all communication from there. The expedition party that rushed there saw a quiet cityscape. [k] @Merlin No blood, and the bodies showed no signs of combat. All citizens had met their end as if they died in their sleep. [k] [charaFadeout B 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk A] [charaFace A 6] [charaFadein A 0.1 1] @Mash That is...a perplexing incident. Was it some kind of poison? [k] [charaFadeout A 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaTalk B] [charaFace B 4] [charaFadein B 0.1 1] @Merlin I don't know. None of the corpses had any wounds on them. They didn't die from Ishtar's arrows nor from the Demonic Beasts. [k] @Merlin Since then, Kutha is said to be a cursed land, and has become a wasteland that no man ever approaches. [k] [charaFace B 1] @Merlin Well, in any case, we won't know till we get there. I expect to encounter wandering Demonic Beasts along the way... [k] @Merlin But those that have strayed from their pack are no threat to [%1] anymore. [k] @Merlin Let's try to gain the ranchers' gratitude by quickly disposing of them as we move along!
