She introduces herself as Sela, a traveling merchant who is interested in guardian stones, and wants to employ the Hero's assistance in gathering them. Sela informs the party that these stones can be found in nearby ruins, but can't gather them herself because of the mechanized monsters that populate it.

After returning from the Machine Ruins, Sela tells the party she believes they're ready for a new challenge. She tells the party of a set of ruins inhabited by dragons where they could find different types of guardian stones.
