[Thu Mar 25 07:45:13 2004] Alexsa Whyte says 'This looks like a sample from the brutish ra'tuk. These large beasts wield their axes adeptly and seem to have no major weaknesses save magical based spells. Because of their strange body makeup magic tends to affect them more then other spell types. You're doing great, but there are more samples left to be found. Please get them to me as soon as you can.'
[Thu Mar 25 07:45:39 2004] Alexsa Whyte says 'Great sample! It looks like this was taken from a being with a thickened hide. This particular being is called a mastruq and seems to be quite resistant to blunt objects, but an arrow or slashing weapon would get through that hide quite easily. Because of their thick hides cold based elemental magic would be quite ineffective while the opposite would hold true for fire magic. You're doing great, but there are more samples left to be found. Please get them to me as soon as you can.'

[Thu Mar 25 10:33:45 2004] Alexsa Whyte says 'These snakelike beings are very deadly. The scales on their lower body are all but impervious to slashing weapons, but a well-placed arrow could do some serious damage. They are masters of magical energy making their defenses against such spells very good. However they do seem to be weak against elemental magic like cold. You're doing great, but there are more samples left to be found. Please get them to me as soon as you can.'
[Thu Mar 25 10:34:36 2004] Alexsa Whyte says 'An excellent find here! It appears that this was retrieved from one of the beings called an ukun. They have frail bodies but their blood is a deadly poison. This would imply that they are probably very resistant to poison. You're doing great, but there are more samples left to be found. Please get them to me as soon as you can.'

First one is an aneuk
[Fri Mar 26 10:10:50 2004] Alexsa Whyte says 'These odd-looking floating beings interest me the most. They seem to be quite adept with magic making them strong against magical incantations. You're doing great, but there are more samples left to be found. Please get them to me as soon as you can.'
[Fri Mar 26 10:11:23 2004] Alexsa Whyte says 'These centaur-like beings are quite bloodthirsty. They appear to be bred for fighting. Their fur covered lower half makes them very resistant to the element of cold but while that fur can protect them from one element it also makes them very vulnerable to fire. You're doing great, but there are more samples left to be found. Please get them to me as soon as you can.'
[Fri Mar 26 10:11:37 2004] Alexsa Whyte says 'Looks like this came from the body of the race of beings called the noc. While their bony frames make them quite weak against crushing damage, their plated chests protect any major organs, reducing the effectiveness of arrows or slashing weapons. It would appear that their flesh is diseased which makes them resistant to disease based spells but their thin skin means that cold might be quite affective against them. You're doing great, but there are more samples left to be found. Please get them to me as soon as you can.'

Would be nice if there was a 'progress update' trigger for this one, or atleast a list of how many they want hehe.

Anyone Completed all of these yet?
Has anyone completed all of the combines yet on a single character?
If so, is there any "reward" for doing so, or a faction hit, or any significant text?
Just curious, have been collecting and banking salts with an eye towards doing this, just wondering if there is anything to look forward to...

Kyv:
[Mon Mar 29 01:15:33 2004] Alexsa Whyte says 'Ah yes, the kyv. These stealthy beings are quite elusive. The fact that you were able to recover a sample from one of them is quite an accomplishment. Now, let's see . . . it appears that the kyv have no noticeable weapon weaknesses or resistances, but we do know they have the ability to deflect incoming arrows and thrown objects. It would seem that they are also resistant to poison based incantations, and quite weak to magic based spells. You're doing great, but there are more samples left to be found. Please get them to me as soon as you can
compiled list
Ikaav - An Ikaav Tongue(tipt,vxed,barundu,riwwi,illinz4,
Mastruq - A Mastruq Tongue(natimbi,qinimi,riwwi,barundu,vxed,tipt)
Ukun - An Ukun Tongue(natimbi,qinimi,riwwi,barundu,tipt,vxed)
Noc - A Noc Tongue(natimbi,qinimi,barundu,vxed,tipt)
Ratuk - A Ratuk Tongue(natimbi,qinimi,barundu,riwwi,feribu)
Anuek - A Anueks Tongue(qinimi,riwwi,barundu,tipt,vxed)
Kyv - A Kyv Tongue
Ixt - An Ixt Tongue(riwwi,ikkin)
it appears the tongues drop from the creature type models, in other words even the ones in natimbi can drop the tongues I personally got a ukun from natimbi and barundu
will edit list as more info is compiled

Anyone Finish all these yet?
Has anyone don't all of these yet themself?
What is the reward/result? Faction? Item? Interesting text?
Really curious about this - besides for being a neat idea on how to give out mob resistance info I'm wondering if it helps with the Wayfarer's faction/progression.
BTW - good job, great info folks. This kinda thing is why the Safehouse is such an awesome site.
