"It's less another force, and more a solitary and somewhat self absorbed sorcerer. Trying to learn gods-know-what spell from the actions of those beasts." Liara gives what little info the had on the mysterious sorcerer. Keeps hidden, speaks through a neomah (a purple gender changing demon that makes new life with the flesh of others), and even made a little rest home on the back of one of the larger monsters.<br/><br/>Two things you find in abundance when looking are edible mushrooms (have plenty) and saltheart stones (not enough salt water around to make those worthwhile).<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Per+survival three successes</div><div class="spoiler_body">The locust monsters seem to enjoy poisonous mushrooms, actually hording them. The ringing makes the guardian locusts a bit wary of fighting, but they'll probably strike if you mess with the food stores.<br/><br/>There are also some pools of water that seem fresher than you'd expect from underground.</div></div>
