Description[]

Journal Steps and Dialogue[]

  • Murrar Shar: "Ready to continue, eh? The dead soldiers were resurrected by something most evil and bent on destroying the Colony. Recently the wildlife on the island has felt the effects of the evil as well. I must get some samples from those creatures, so that I can examine them more closely.
  • Player Character: "I could do that."
  • Murrar Shar: "Thank you, but I have already sent a skilled hunter to do the job. Maybe you should check up on him though and make sure things are going well. He's been out in the Tainted Forest for a while now. Look for Sha'Dur up the stairs on the north side of Sunset Meadow."
  • Player Character: "Will do."
  • Murrar Shar: "Thank you for the help."
  • Player Character: "Of course."

I need to seek out Predator Sha'dur in the Tainted Forest. He is collecting tainted wildlife samples and may need my help. the Tainted Forest can be found north up the hill from Sunset Meadow. Seek out Predator Sha'dur in the Tainted Forest. Head west into Sunset Meadow and then north up the hill.

  • Predator Sha'dur: "Wraaa! The day is grim. Has this world lost all of its goodness and left us with this cold husk? I suppose you were sent by Murrar, but my job has been halted."
  • Player Character: "Easy there, all is not lost. I can help."
  • Predator Sha'dur: "Help is a word I didn't expect to hear, but I'm most likely beyond helping. See, I was sent here to collect samples from the wildlife that has become tainted, but on my hunt I was ambushed by the nearby goblins. My bow and arrows were lost in the scuffle."
  • Player Character: "Maybe I can find your bow and arrows?"
  • Predator Sha'dur: "I'm sure my bow is in the hands of those tainted Sapswill tappers that ambushed me. you might try, but I don't expect much."
  • Player Character: "Don't worry, I'll find it."

I found Predator Sha'dur. He was distraught about losing his bow and arrows. Predator Sha'dur is down on his luck and has lost his bow and arrows. I am to find the goblins that took his bow and get it back through any means necessary. One of the nearby Sapswill tappers should have Sha'dur's bow.

I was able to reclaim Sha'dur's bow from a group of goblins in the Tainted Forest. I found Sha'dur's bow off a nearby Sapswill tapper. I should return the bow to him. Return the bow to Predator Sha'dur.

  • Predator Sha'dur: "Wra... my bow! You did this for me? maybe this day is not so bad. Maybe you found my arrows too?"
  • Player Character: "There were no arrows to be found."
  • Predator Sha'dur: "Well there goes the day again! What's a bow without arrows? The only good sticks I've found to make arrow shafts are by that spider den. Brrrr!"
  • Player Character: "Be at ease, friend. i can get the sticks."

I returned Sha'dur his lost bow. I should find some wood suitable for arrows to replace the ones Sha'dur lost. Sha'dur says he saw some piles of sticks to the east in the Tainted Forest near a large spider den. Search for wood near the spider den in the Tainted Forest. The den is to the southeast within the forest.

I gathered enough piles of sticks to provide enough wood for Sha'dur to make new arrows. I need to take the wood back to Predator Sha'dur. Take the wood back to Predator Sha'dur.

  • Predator Sha'dur: "You'd do this for me again? I can fletch these sticks into perfect arrows. You, my friend, have turned my eyes. It's a great day. I know we can beat this menace!"
  • Player Character: "That's the spirit!"
  • Predator Sha'dur: "You know, come to think of it. I did get a few samples before I lost my bow. Why don't you take them back to Murrar to see if they'll do."
  • Player Character: "You've already got some samples? But..."
  • Predator Sha'dur: "No really, go ahead! With your help finding my gear, you've shown me that there is light in this dim hour. We will live to fight another day."
  • Player Character: "Great! I know Murrar's waiting for these."

I gave Predator Sha'dur the wood he needed to make new arrows. Predator Sha'dur was able to collect a few samples before he lost his gear. I need to take these samples back to Murrar Shar. Take the samples back to Murrar Shar.

  • Murrar Shar: "Good, the samples. I'll need to consult with Myrrin about them, but in the mmmmeantime, here is your reward. Come back to me later and hopefully these samples will have prrroven worthy."
  • Player Character: "Thanks."

I took the samples back to Murrar Shar and was rewarded for my efforts.

I found Predator Sha'dur in the Tainted Forest. He was distraught about being attacked and losing his bow and arrows. I helped him to reclaim his bow and then gathered some sticks for use in making new arrows. I then returned to Murrar Shar with some samples from the tainted wildlife.
