Steps

Journal

  • Maurelin, a Serpent at the Bannock, is seeking a volunteer to gather materials used in the training of recruits.
  • Collect four shells from the giant, insect-like bog yarzons that dwell in the river to the south of the Bannock.
  • You have collected the bog yarzon shells. Deliver them to Mariustel at the Bannock.
  • Mariustel intends to use the shells you have brought him in the next round of training drills. Once the recruits have learned how best to dispatch a bog yarzon, maintaining a secure perimeter around the camp will seem a far less daunting task.

Dialogue

Maurelin: Ho there, adventurer. If it is work you seek, then look no further.
Maurelin: Instructor Mariustel needs a volunteer to bring him some bog yarzon shells for the recruits to practice on.
Maurelin: You'll find yarzons in the river south of here. Once you've pried the carapaces from four of the creatures, take them to the instructor.
Mariustel: Have you come to train?
Mariustel: Hm? Not a new recruit? Then wh─ Ah, the yarzon shells I ordered Maurelin to requisition! I see he's learned to delegate authority if nothing else.
Mariustel: Now that I have these carapaces, I can set my recruits some specialized drills. They are already adept at hitting a target, of course, but they need practical knowledge of exactly where a monster like the yarzon is most vulnerable.
Mariustel: Thanks to your efforts, I've no doubt they will fare rather better against the creatures when called upon. You should be proud of yourself─both they and the Bannock are safer for your help.
