Journal Steps and Dialogue[]

Murrar Shar: "Hello [Player Character]. Until recently, our colony lived in peace with a clan of goblins known as the Sapswill that reside on the other side of the island. But for some unknown reason, they have begun to attack us. We need to begin an investigation at once to get to the bottom of this. Will you help?"
Player Character: "I would be glad to. What can I do?"
Murrar Shar: "The goblins have started attacking us from the west. We're not sure what sparked the uprising, but they are now relentlessly trying to invade the colony. I need you to go see how our defenders are doing at the west gate and gather any information you can. Speak with Sergeant Haggus at the barricades and see what you can do to assist him."

Player Character: "Yes. He was wondering how our defenses are holding?"
Sergeant Haggus: "While the goblins aren't very powerful, they're definitely tenacious. It's almost as if they have no mind of their own and are throwing themselves at us like flies unto a swatter."
Player Character: "Could you use some help?"
Sergeant Haggus: "Aye, you're a gutsy one, aren't you? I'll give you a chance to prove your stength. Fend off some of these invading Sapswill and we'll see how you fare."

Sergeant Haggus: "Ah, they'll pay for this! You've done well, [Player Character]. Sometime when you're not so busy, maybe you'd take a job with the Qeynos Guard and we can fight along side one another again. Take this information back to Murrar. Farewell."
Player Character: "Farewell to you."
