This is a major nerf to Kreist dailies.

This lessens the grind and also gives it more texture and overall flavor.
There are still some entries missing for Snakes and Mountain Snakes but
I would write basically the same for them, oh no, for some reason they
have been appearing near/around/in the city!
Someone needs to do something before it gets bad!

There is a small known issue here though:
`getmonsterlink()` does not support plurals.

This MR also does some rewording and stuff.
