Altered Beings

It will be important to study both plant and animal life impacted by the oases and the unusual energies you've discovered. The Stagnant Oasis below us is home to a species of snapjaw turtles. Recently their population has exploded. Moreover, the once peaceful animals are growing aggressive, as I learned the hard way before trekking up here. <Jerrik holds up a bandaged finger.> I suspect they've been altered by the oases. Collect their shells and take them to Tonga at Crossroads for further study.
