Had I known ahead of time that Prime Patriarch Ixthal would request such items, I would have been more careful earlier, when I had been hunting down the dead in the Field of Bone.
He requested these items immediately after I had been given my first claw, and the rank of Wolf Cub (level 24 Iksar Beastlord with the first claw). I did not pay much attention to the cracked femurs the dead held nor the lichenclovers I found. Still, many of the dead hold such femurs, and so it was a simple task to obtain that portion.
For the next, I searched far and wide in the Field of Bone for lichenclovers, but I spent a long time there and I could not find any. I decided to move on to looking for the special cabbage that the Prime Patriarch requested.
This proved to be a rather difficult task, much moreso than I had imagined. I searched the entire swamp with no success, until I found some ruins holding more of the long dead. I did not go near. They seemed content to guard the ruins, but I would still have liked to have put the restless Iksar souls to rest. While I did not attack the dead, I did find several man eating plants nearby. I slew many ferns and vines, but I did not come upon a creeper until I sat to consider the new spells (ooc: Levels 25 and 26 were gained here) that I had neglected to scribe until moments earlier. As I was contemplating them to the Northeast of the ruins, I was attacked by a wandering creeper! My warder made quick work of it, but I noticed that, alas, it had not developed its own cabbage. Regardless, I now knew where creepers wandered, and it was merely a matter of patience (ooc: The ruins I'm talking about are on the Eastern of the two rather large Southern islands, near the island to the West). Another wandered by with no cabbage, but the third I slew had grown a cabbage, and I returned to the Field of Bone to find the lichenclover.
This time, my search did not take long, as I stumbled upon a patch of lichenclover near the gates of Cabilis. I returned to the Prime Patriarch with the items and my Claw of the Cub to recive my promotion to Spirit Scout (ooc: Level 26 Iksar Beastlord with second claw) and my second claw.
