Scholar Merla is a scientist and karma merchant found at Cachistic R&D in the Winterknell Shore who is working on developing a serum that renders the wearer invisible to the Risen. She has skritt assistant named Rakkan, and though she is very happy with the results he gets, she seems less than concerned about his safety.

Dialogue

Welcome to our drab little encampment. It may be under-staffed, under-supplied, and elemental-infested, but we make do.

Can I see the wares you have available?

You have elemental trouble here?

We quickly discovered why the undead avoid this site;it's an elemental hot spot. Intriguing, though precarious.

Be careful.

I'm more curious about that skritt.

Rakkan? He's my assistant. I took him in to do odd jobs for me, and I've actually grown quite fond of the little fella.

You're fond of a skritt? You?

The Pact is an exercise in tolerance, isn't it? Besides, Rakkan has proven himself a surprisingly adept assistant.

Interesting.

(if asura)

You must be desperate, to resort to using a skritt assistant.

He's actually worked out well, being somewhat versed in our technology. Besides, aren't we all in this fight together?

It seems aberrant, if not repugnant.

Thanks. Take care.

During Destroy the Risen broodmother to free Rakkan

I love when I'm on the verge of a breakthrough. As soon as my assistant delivers my results, I'll know for sure.

Can you show me the wares you have available?

Assistant?

Yes, Rakkan, a resourceful little skritt. My experiments would have been impossible without his forays for samples.

What sort of experiments?

If my calculations are correct, my new concoction should conceal its wearer from the Risen. It's quite thrilling!

Can I help?

I don't see why not. Rakkan was giving the potion a test, near the Risen drake nests. I can't wait to hear how he does.

Uh, maybe I should check on him. Can you point the way?

On second thought, no thanks.

Good luck with your work.

(if not asura)

I thought asura disliked the skritt.

The Pact is an exercise in tolerance, isn't it? Besides, Rakkan has proven himself a surprisingly adept assistant.

Fair enough. I'll go lend him a hand.

I'm sure he'd appreciate some company.

On my way.

Interesting.

(if asura)

Are you seriously using a skritt as your apprentice?

He's actually worked out well, being somewhat versed in our technology. Besides, aren't we all in this fight together?

Still, he shouldn't be out there unsupervised. I'll check in on him for you.

I'm sure he'd appreciate some company.

On my way.

It seems aberrant, if not repugnant.

Interesting.

Good luck.

During Help Rakkan collect Risen fish oil glands for Merla

Bah! Where is that assistant when I need him?

Show me your wares, would you?

Where did your assistant go?

I sent him to fetch supplies for my latest experiment. He was alone, and skritt aren't at their best when they're alone.

(if asura)

Astounding. You've sunk to using a skritt to assist your work?

I'd be happy to help. Just point the way. (Same as "Still, he shouldn't be out there unsupervised. I'll..." above)

Hope he makes it back.

Can't help now. Busy.

During Rid the Pact camp of tar elementals

We now know why the Risen avoid this site: it's an elemental dream spot. Live and learn, I guess.

Good luck.
