Guard Jacob:
How do you do, honored traveler? Have you come to our village to see the great shell of a Cruma? If you have, then you'd be well advised to give up your search. Many have come to this village to view the shell of a Cruma, but I have rarely seen anyone return from that place intact. The Marshlands where the shell of a Cruma lies have for ages been a place teeming with monsters -- even our guards don't like to go near there.
