SEARCHING FOR: Grubs. If anyone has seen Grubs trapped in jars, please leave a response and their location as specifically as possible.

[capitalcurator]

I thought I heard something around Greenpath, but I passed it off as the local fauna. Terribly sorry to hear I may have missed someone in need! It's likely someone else will return there before I do, so here's a map of the general area.

- Cornifer

[ There is a small cross-section of terrain drawn out and a wide circle over part of it. ]

[focusedvoid]

Thank you. I found one of them there.

There's a sketch of a grub in a jar underneath, for the sake of future understanding.

[capitalcurator]

[ This note is stuck to the board with silk. ]

Found. High cliffs, beneath the grave in blood. Mark it off.

[focusedvoid]

Thank you.

...

Does she know who's posting this message?

Well.

There is one in the Hive that is difficult to reach easily. It would be appreciated if you could. Name your price if you have one.

[capitalcurator]

Consider it done.

[ Later, there is a hasty addition to this note. ]

Ill fate can befall the foolhardy. I advise anyone against wandering in or near the Hive in future.

[focusedvoid]

Appreciated.
A Lifeblood Cocoon is located in the Ancestral Mound in the Crossroads if needed.

[ Someone else's handwriting: ]

If only there were a way to bottle some!

[focusedvoid]

...Hm.



Added, rather later:

Agreed. Haven't found any containers that keep its protective properties for long.

[capitalcurator]

What a shame. That's an untapped market, if you ask me.

[capitalcurator]

You should never get stuck in a jar in the first place! It's simple logic.

[focusedvoid]

In different handwriting than the original post:

They're grubs. They can't do much but wander. It's likely not their fault.

[capitalcurator]

Grubs should stay where they're put until they're old enough to abandon the nest!

There's a lot of loud machinery still running in Crystal Peak. Sometimes I thought it sounded off. Perhaps one might start there?

Also, who is writing these? You're leaving an awful lot of space on the paper. It's a waste.

Grubs are grubs. They don't necessarily understand what they're supposed to do without being taught. Anyone knows that, even without having their own!

Thank you. I have found two there previously and will search for more.
Others should ignore the one who wastes paper.

Banking Service & Exchange
Tired of losing track of your Geo? Never seem to have the right denominations on you for doing business?

A new banking service is now open! Look for the sign in the Crossroads and remember: it's easy to lose your valuables in a place like Hallownest, so it pays to keep them safe!

[focusedvoid]

Scribbled directly over the paper:

Millibelle: Thief.

[mountebanker]

[ Addendum to the original, below the defaced part: ]

Reputable business owners welcome!

Graffiti artists will be refused service.

[focusedvoid]

The top of the paper's been sliced away, and the paper's been pinned back rather lower.

Good.

[capitalcurator]

I seem to remember declining the start-up fee, and when I returned later the proprietor had vanished without a trace! I would like to give her the benefit of the doubt, but it seems I may have been right.

Avoid.

Graffiti Artist: have you tracked down the culprit? I would be willing to help straighten this mess out.

- Quirrel

[focusedvoid]

Knowing her location is likely, but I have yet to follow up. Will be doing so promptly. What was the start-up fee?

[mountebanker]

[ SCRAWLED: ]

You brutes leave a perfectly reputable business well enough alone!

[capitalcurator]

100 Geo. I didn't pay, but I imagine I was hardly the only target. It's a shame some would stoop so low.

---

[ There is a short but sweet series of alternate testimonials in different writing styles. At least one is just a curse. ]

[focusedvoid]

Your Geo will be retrieved and put into if not returned by willingly very soon.

Millibelle. This is a threat.

[focusedvoid]

Only if ill-gotten Geo is returned.
