Bruce's Teacher

Mercedes, thank you for your work. My research is chugging along just fine now. However, one of my colleagues is in need of your help. Are you busy?

My help?

Yes! My teacher, Dr. Winston, asked me if I knew any good assistants. My response, of course, was 'Do I EVER!' He's studying the monsters in Perion.

Perion? Where's that?

Really? You don't know where Perion is? You know, you're great at random tasks, but just terrible with directions. Anyway, Perion is northeast of Henesys. It's like THE place for warriors.

Hm... Are you sure it's not just barren mountains out that way? Completely uninhabitable?

For sane people, maybe, but the warriors seem to like it! Anyway, could you meet with Dr. Winston? I think he's in the Rugged Rocky Zone just outside of Perion.

Great! Please meet with my teacher.

(If you accept, you'll travel to Rugged Rocky Zone automatically.)

If you don't know where Perion is, just open your map.

I say, you must be Mercedes. Bruce has told me so much about you! You're as elegant as he said, though your ears are a tad peculiar...

I'll have you know that I have beautiful ears, by Elven standards!

Ah, and there's that peculiar accent he told me about!

Well, that's fine by me! If you're as helpful as Betty says, you can be as eccentric as you want.

Dr. Winston is waiting you in the Rugged Rocky Zone near Perion. You didn't get lost, did you?
