*There's no mistake, is there? [[Death]] has left its mark once again. I'm sorry, I cannot give you your proper rites... But at least you did not join [[Those Who Live in Death]]. Your soul will return to the [[Erdtree]], in time. [[Honeyed rays of gold]], deliver this [[spirit]].*

*Ah, a [[Tarnished]], are you? I'm known as [[D]]. I hunt down [[Those Who Live in Death]], and weed their [[Deathroot]]. Heed my warning. The village here has been touched by [[Death]]. And worse yet, it is home to a [[Tibia Mariners|mariner]]. If you value your life, then go no further.*

*The village here has been touched by [[Death]]. Turn back, while you still can.*
#### After Defeating the [[Tibia Mariner]]
>[!quote]+ If you met before
*Another fool who won't listen to reason, eh? But with a prowess for weeding [[Deathroot]]. ... How would you like to earn the strength of [[beasts]]? If you're inclined to hunt more of [[Those Who Live in Death]], and weed their [[Deathroot]], then I'll introduce you to [[Maliketh|Gurranq, the beast clergyman]]. I have a matter of my own to attend to. And the [[beast]] himself wishes for someone to take my place. What say you?*

*What now? Had a change of heart?*
>[!quote]+ Yes
*Very well. Show me your map. ... I've marked the location for you. Of a hidden [[gateway]]. It will lead you to [[Maliketh|Gurranq, the beast clergyman]].*

>*I have a matter of my own to attend to. I spotted the [[mark of the centipede]] here in [[Summonwater Village|the village]]. An ill-omened symbol that should not be. Someone, or something, threatens the sanctity of the [[Golden Order]]. And must be eradicated.*
