"I've found no trace of the Sage of Ages at the Bridge Keep. I did however see a number of creatures milling about in the ravine below.""If I'm going to track down the Sage of Ages in time, I should see if he was wise enough to head for the safety of the Bridge Keep in the Thundering Steppes.""I've found what looks like scholarly objects on these creatures. It's as if the Sage dropped everything in hopes of eluding his predators. From where I found the objects, it looks as if he was heading to the docks in the Steppes.""Perhaps some of the creatures contain clues as to the whereabouts of the Sage of Ages. This may be my last chance to find him.""I've found a receipt chit in a barrel on the docks. It's made out to a "SoA" and signed with a letter "D". That Sage sure is a clever fellow.""If I don't find the Sage of Ages down by the docks, then that tells me he made it safely away from the Steppes. Maybe I can find one final clue of his ultimate fate.""I've let Demini know what happened to the Sage of Ages.""I should return to Demini and let him know that the Sage was able to make it to safety. I'm not too sure he'll be too happy to learn that he won't be meeting the Sage, though."
