The people they've been taking? They throw them at the beast that dwells in the northern ruins, where the treasure of a lost civilization is said to be hidden. Mainly, they're hoping that the beast will be distracted or appeased by the offering (or meal, rather) so that they can enter the ruins. Unfortunately, the fucking puzzles stop them from getting too far into the ruins, so their attempts always end in failure and dead people they gotta replace.
He is quite right. How long have you been repeating these same methods with nothing but failure to show for it? You may as well simply throw yourselves at this beast, and it would be far more useful.

Distinctly unimpressed, Kaiza, who's nursing a broken arm, blurts out— ]
That's your reason? You're a bunch of dumbasses!
[ And, like, horrible people in general. Wow. ]
