Dragon: "Okay, I'm definitely going to search for that dragon. There's a really good chance that she may be one of Dr. Agony's previous dragons."
Marcus: "Oh, didn't know he went through so much trouble to raise them. He's always trying to get me to steal materials for him. Some of which doesn't make sense. Anyways, I guess I'll move on ahead. Perhaps you'll be able to get some help from her."
The thief heads off into the trees and was quickly out of sight. You take a deep breath and begin to move towards your own path. The sleeping mushroom suddenly tugs a bit on your robe.
Carson: "Be careful, the Disease moves very quickly, I've seen what it does to living and non living things. If you become afflicted, take this."
He gives you a blue rock.
Carson: "That's cobalt. For some reason the Disease strays away from it. Since most of the rock here contains it, you should be safe if you move near them. The material itself is used in the armors of Eroc Thgink's Knights."
Dragon: "Oh, thanks."
You are now on the Rock Forest Path. You can hear the sounds of woodland creatures buzzing about. Stones are littered around the on the grass, where they presumably fell from the mountain.
