Kaiaren says 'Hello ______, I have been [expecting] you.'
You say, 'Why have you been expecting me?'
Kaiaren says 'There is still much that needs to be done and I lack the strength still to continue it myself. If you choose to you can first begin by completing a [simple task] for me.'
You say, 'What simple task?'
Kaiaren says 'I need you to gather some rare [delicacies] and bring them back to me. This meal has been passed down the Order for ages. This meal is said to grant strength back to the feeble. It is the only way possible for us to combat this [menace].'
You say, 'What delicacies?'
Kaiaren says 'I will need to you to gather some [sunless nectar] and some meat from an [ancient creature].'

You say, 'What ancient creature?'
Kaiaren says 'The creature you seek has been living for as long as any can remember. It can be found surrounded by water. You will need to take its meat and combine it with grilling sauce, a loaf of bread, and some cheese to make a Grilled Aged Meat and Cheese Sandwich. Please return soon after you have both items.'
You say, 'What menace?'
Kaiaren says 'What menace? For sure Vortix has mentioned to you his dreams? His dreams provide a rare gift of foresight into what lies ahead. There is a dark threat that looms over the Order's head like a vice. It wants nothing more than to destroy all that know of its existence.'
