It's an Ape Eat Ape World

Help [113278|Yaleesh Cybon] at [ZONE_APE MOUNTAIN|Ape Mountain] deliver the [205595|Research Report] to [113265|Sheebo Kanten]. He's exploring up ahead.

Cannibalism generally appears among lower order organisms. I noticed among the [<S>205594|Organism Samples] you brought back that the bigger specimens possessed more runestones. Aside from their obvious cosmetic function, I think the runestones are somehow related to social classes. I guess the habit of dividing up resources in a hostile environment must eventually produce a hierarchical mentality. The runestones are symbols that differentiate between their classes.

Sigh... This totally overturns my theory about other creatures victimizing them. I've already written a [205595|Research Report] about it. Could you take it to [113265|Sheebo Kanten] for me? He's up ahead, investigating sources of mysterious energy on [ZONE_APE MOUNTAIN|Ape Mountain].

Now we know that the Naga have nothing to do with the missing runestones, we should regroup and focus our efforts where they're needed.

Pleased to meet you, adventurer. First I want to thank you for bringing me these very valuable materials. I wish we could sit around and chew the fat, but right now I have a more urgent task that I need your help with.

What a headache...ugh...
