This Quest starts in the Temple of Toamowhai after you have completed The Champion of the Hunt Quest. A giant lizard has invaded The Crucible, and Humaire has gone to fight it but things don't look good for her. Engari urges you to go out and fight it. Go through either the door at #16 or at #17 to enter The Crucible.
An enormous crocodile-like monster called the Porokoa will show up, along with several Lesser Porokoa. Galawain will briefly taunt you before leaving you to the fight.
The Porokoa itself has 3,000+ Health. Its roar can Terrify multiple party members. And it can occasionally regurgitate bile that will both inflict Corrosive Damage and Stun multiple party members. Its tail slap can also stun any characters that try to Flank it. It will leave behind a Porokoa Eye if you defeat it.
You now have choices about what to do with the soul energy of the slain Porokoa:
Send the energy to The Wheel. Berath rewards you with a passive ability called Berath's Gift (+4 Accuracy vs. Spirits).
Return the energy to the Crucible and the wildlife of Kazuwari. The Watcher gains a passive ability, Galawain's Gift (+2 Accuracy vs. Beasts). If you previously had this Gift from The Rite of Passage and/or The Crucible and/or The Champion of the Hunt, then the Accuracy vs. Beasts bonus will stack with any attained during the prior Quests.
Destroy the soul energy. The Watcher gains a passive ability, Rymrgand's Gift (+2 Accuracy vs. Vessels). If you previously had this Gift from The Rite of Passage and/or The Crucible and/or The Champion of the Hunt, then the Accuracy vs. Vessels bonus will stack with any attained during the prior Quests.
Channel it into Muatu, which is apparently supposed to make the summons of Muatu's Head more powerful.
You can channel it into yourself to gain a Culmination Stone. You can use it to upgrade the enchantment of any armor, weapon or shield from Superb to Legendary.
You can use the Slayer's Claw to sever the Porokoa's link to Galawain, if you had previously reached an agreement to do so with Whehami during The Champion of the Hunt Quest. It allows the three Face spirits to escape and possess the Porokoa. The Porokoa's soul will now be bound to the Faces statue.
Your choice completes the Quest and you get rewarded with 10,000+ xp.
One effect of completing the Quest is that the stairs at #4 of the Temple of Toamowhai are now accessible. They lead to #4 of The Crucible. A nearby table will have some of the choicier food items, like a Captain's Banquet for example. But there won't be any special reward beyond that.
You can also indicate to him that you spoke with the three Faces. You can also get 10,000cp from him if you follow up with a Streetwise check of 13. Doing so earns Shady disposition.
