You say, 'injustice'

You have been assigned the task 'Jarvis #4: Vengeance'

Jarvis scowls, 'Turn over every stone and rotten log until you incover the snake's den. When you've found there encampment, give them a small taste of the pain they've given us. It's the least we can do to avenge our lost brethren.

Kill 15 Kirathas Elddar

Speak with Jarvis

You say, 'Hail, Jarvis'

This ends the quest and gives you the dialogue for the next one:

Jarvis says, 'That'll teach the lot of them. Janilyn. What did you call the dark-skinned ruffians . . . the Elddar? Whatever name they go by, they will think twice before coming here and taking advantage of us fishing folk, We're not so humble that we'll stand for being slaughtered. With that mess behind us, there's an [unfortunate] task yet to be done."

You say, 'unfortunate'

You have been assigned the task 'Jarvis #5: Funeral of the damned'

Jarvis says, 'We lost many men in the attack on our ships and the dead need to be interred. See to Captain Jensen when you can. Stranded out here in the middle of nowhere. He's about the closest thing we have to a priest.

Speak with Captain Jensen

You say, 'Hail, Captain Jensen'

Captain Jensen is beside himself with grief, 'Tis a mournful time. Good men have died. We're stranded in this god-forsaken place now that the ships've been flame scuttled. We've got a heap of problems facing us, but everything can wait until we've buried the deceased. It'll be one [funeral] for the lot of them.

You say, 'funeral'

Captain Jensen says, 'If you could say a few words during the ceremony, I'd be appreciative. Speak to the villagers, console them if you can, and find out what each of the deceased was best know for. Use this to give a personal touch for each person that we're laying to rest. It'll mean a lot to the village if done properly'

Speak with the villagers about the dead

You say, 'Hail, a Blackwater resident'

Blackwater resident says, 'Sarah was so fond of dandalions that she would braid them into her hair. We will miss her very much.

You have been assigned the task 'Jarvis #6: Lumber Run'.

Captain Jensen says 'Thank you so much, Janilyn. The spirits of our dead will rest a little easier now. Now we must focus our efforts on our current predicament. If we're to have any hope of leaving this accursed land, we'll have to repair the boats. Speak with Stefani if you are willing and able to help further.'

Speak with Stefani

You say, 'Hail, Stefani'

Stefani says 'Now that our ships have been destroyed, we're stranded in these hills. And it may as well be the edge of the world. The captain deliberately kept this place a secret, so we can't expect anyone to come looking for us, even if they knew we were in trouble. The supplies can only last so long. Our sole option is to [repair] the boats.'

You say, 'repair'

Your task 'Lumber Run' has been updated.

Stefani says 'Thank you for volunteering. Someone needs to assess the damage done to the ships, and we also need able-bodied folk to head down to the grove to harvest lumber for the repairs. You'll find Paul along with several woodcutters already there with the work underway.'

Speak with Paul

You say, 'Hail, Paul'

Paul glances behind you, fearfully, 'Did you see anyone on your way here? I could swear we were being watched. There's rustling in the leaves, eyes in the darkness, and shadows darting between the trees. Listen, as the new guy you can keep an eye out while we work and warn us if there's trouble. Let me know when you're [ready].'

Your task 'Lumber Run' has been updated.

You say, 'ready'

Paul says 'Hold them off for us while we finish preparing the lumber. Keep your eyes peeled, they could be anywhere!'

Paul says 'Look there! Behind that tree!'

Protect the woodcutters

3 Karathas attack them, once they are dead 3 more come. Have to be careful, because the woodcutters and Paul will easily attack group members. I had to mez and blur them a lot too. Finally we got a swarm (was 6-8) mobs, including a Karathas Captain. Soon as the Captain died, the task updated and we succorred. We didn't have to kill the remaining Karathas mobs in the last wave.

Speak with Stefani

You say, 'Hail, Stefani'

Stefani says 'Another ambush?! During the lumber harvesting? It's just like these savages to come at us when we're unprepared and defenseless. Who do these [cowards] think we are?'

You say, 'cowards'

Stefani says 'We're not going to lie down passively and be slaughtered like farm animals. It's time we stood up for ourselves. It's time we launched a [counter-attack].'

Fendel says 'What!? Are you sure? My dearest Amber had a daughter? I must be completely [honest] with you.'

You say, 'honest'

Fendel says 'Amber and I care for each other deeply, but I haven't seen her in months. It has been impossible to get near her since the fighting between her people and our people began. And that kills me. It's torture to be separated from her for so long. This fighting be damned. All I want is to see my love. And now, you're telling me that she had my child? I must [see her] again. I must go to Amber and my daughter.'

You say, 'see her'

You say, 'convince'

Your task 'Rally the Town' has been updated.

Fendel says 'Speak to Jarvis, Captain Jensen, Stefani, and Old Scheffer and persuade them to lead one final foray into the forest with the goal of rescuing my love and child. It won't be easy to garner support, but depending on the person, they can be swayed if you use the right tact. Try mentioning that my child is in DANGER, a father has a RIGHT to see his daughter, LOVE is important, or that this will bring a definitive CONCLUSION to the conflict.'

Captain Jensen says 'More bad news? What else could possibly go wrong?'

'Hail, Stefani'

Stefani says 'Fendel put you up to this, did he?'

You say, 'conclusion'

Your task 'Rally the Town' has been updated.

Rescue Amber and the child

You have witnessed the curse of the Hills of Shade from the human's point of view.

Amber leaps to her feet to greet Fendel and they embrace.

Fendel is overjoyed, 'It's been so long! I never thought I'd see you again.'

Amber says, 'Welcome back, my love. I want you to meet our daughter.'

A shadowy figure emerges unseen and slips behind Amber.

The shadowy figure speaks, revealing himself as Valthun, 'You continue to betray my trust by fraternizing with the corruptors. For the good of us all, this must end now.'

Amber slumps to the floor, quivering in a pool of her own blood.

Fendel collapses to his knees.

Fendel screams, 'Gods, no! How could you?!'

Erollisi Marr speaks, 'This union, of which I gave my personal blessing, has produced nothing more than bloodshed, anguish, and petty squabbling. Look upon the horror of your misdeeds, humans and elves. Look at the pain you have caused.'

Erollisi Marr speaks, 'You have made a mockery of my gift. You have taken something beautiful and twisted it into endless pain.'

Erollisi Marr speaks, 'I will teach you of endless pain and you will know my scorn. You now bear the curse of Erollisi Marr.'

Erollisi Marr speaks, 'Forevermore will you relive these mistakes, until you recognize the error of your ways. You will be cursed until you understand the value of love.'
