Gift of the Magin

Subra 2 is the home of a primitive race of sentient plants ("They Who Converse") that communicate with each other by scratching pictures on the ground using sticks called Imastyls. The people of Subra 2 have been invited to the inauguration of President Ishtao on Algieba.

Many traps have been set by They Who Converse to try to kill the vicious Blood Stalkers that roam the planet. Stay near the riverbank as you walk south. Be on the lookout for the Blood Stalker that lives on the west side of the river, and kill it when you see it. Take the Alien Meat. While you are west of the river, either grab the Imastyl at room B or search the stick at C to get an Imastyl. Use the Alien Meat on the bridgekeeper at C and he will let you cross.

Use the Imastyl to speak with Steps Are Wise (the Magin) at room D. She will tell you that she despises her son ("He Who Speaks"), and asks you to kill him and retrieve the Talking Stick - an ancient artifact - from him. Once you retrieve the Talking Stick, she will give you the invitation to the inauguration.

Cross the bridge to the east bank of the river. There are quite a few Blood Stalkers and a lot of traps on this side of the river. Stick close to the riverbank to avoid them. There are also a few Avian Hunters here who have flown in from Talitha 2 looking for you. Kill them on sight, because they are upset with you.

After you enter the tree at F, you will enter He Who Speaks’ home. First, use your Imastyl on him and assure him that you will not kill him. Then use your Trinket (from Talitha 2) on him and he will open up a secret passage. Follow the passageway to G and grab the Talking Stick. Don’t hang out here too long or the Bladder Claw will attack you. Return to the surface and give the Talking Stick to Steps Are Wise, and she will give you the Algiebian Invite.

If you don’t have the Trinket, you can still complete the scenario by entering the tree at E instead. If you go this way, you will have to kill the Bladder Claw to retrieve the Talking Stick. The best weapon to use against the Bladder Claw is an area-effect weapon like the Grenade Launcher.

Once you have the invite, head over to the inauguration on Ishtao Station.
