Paterson's Disciple Bacon:
I was working on my research before the Sea of Spores changed. A different kind of Energy of the Floating Sea may have contaminated the journal.
I think the monsters affected by the Sea of Spores might have mistaken it for food. But I can't just lose my precious journal to being some monster's snack.
I'm sure monsters took it, so please hunt Keros, Falena, Atrofa, Nuba, Torfedo, Aranea, Harane, Lesatanas, Arbor, Tergus, Skeletus, Atrofine, Orfen's Handmaiden Arimus and Orfen's Handmaiden Arima and gather 100 pages of the Floating Sea Journal.
