L84. Emergency Report for Linda

Item : Shimmering Ore

The lump of ore in your hand is decidedly unremarkable save for the unusual way the edges shimmer in the light.

Wondering if, perhaps, it holds the answer as to why some of the monsters in the area have grown increasingly more powerful, you make up your mind to have it examined.

Before handing it off to the Demon Hunter at the garrison, make sure to speak with Celestia Governor Sinaz.

"Now, what could Beru be up to...?"

Linda appears a bit distracted, and you gently tap her on the shoulder to get her attention.

Her body stiffens and, before you can get a word in, the ordinarily fearless Demon Hunter undergoes a mini freak-out. "What's that?! Who's there?! What do you want?! Oh, it's you! Erm... I mean... I knew you were standing there this whole time!"

"I see. Hand it over so I can take a closer look."

Still somewhat distracted despite her brief episode, Linda absentmindedly snatches the ore from your hand.

She looks it over for a few seconds and then, as if a switch has been thrown, her eyes widen to the size of dinner plates.

"What in Odin's name is this? You say you found it on the body of a monster? This energy I sense... it doesn't feel right. I think you'd better leave this with me for the time being. It was wise of you to bring it to me when you did."
