Southern Fiend

Bestowal dialogue

'A moment and a lowered voice if you would. Watcher Brittleleaf need not hear this as it would only drive him to do something foolish I fear. Within the ruins, I have seen another terror, worse than any leader of Men...a leader of these half-breeds. He stands taller than most and is a fearsome sight to behold.

'Should you run afoul of this fellow I would advise fleeing towards the hills, but you have the appearance of an adventurous <race>, so I will offer you a reward for the defeat of this menace.

'The half-orc dwells just inside the gate from the south at the deepest depths of their encampment.'

Background

Watcher Oakdale spoke in hushed tones of a particularly foul creature leading the half-breeds out of the south.

Objective 1

• Defeat the half-orc leader in Andrath

The half-orc leader can be found just inside the gate from the south in the Vale of Andrath.

Watcher Oakdale has asked you to defeat the leader of the half-orcs from the south.

Watcher Oakdale: 'Seek the half-orc leader in the deepest part of the enemy encampment. He dwells on the gorund in the shadow of the gates heading south.'

Defeated the half-orc leader in Andrath

Objective 2

• Talk to Watcher Oakdale

Watcher Oakdale is at the east edge of the northern part of the Southewatch.

You defeated the half-orc leader deep within the enemy camp at Andrath and should now return to Watcher Oakdale.

Watcher Oakdale: 'The terrible acts I witnessed that creature performed will not leave me, but I may find restful sleep again knowing that you have brought his reign to an end.

'I have little to offer you, but this is well deserved.'

Neeker-breaker

Bestowal dialogue

'Since we made our way to the Vale of Andrath I have been plagued by terrible dreams and, unaccustomed as I am to the wild, unbearable noises from the nearby swamp.

'My sleep, when it comes, is fitful at best and I fear it is days since last I closed my eyes for more than an hour. I wonder, could you do me the favour of clearing out the neeker-breekers who make the swampland to the north and east their home?

'I would ever be grateful for your help.'

Background

Watcher Oakdale asked you for a personal favour while in the area of Southwatch.

Objective 1

• Defeat Neeker-breekers in Andrath (0/12)

The swamp to the north and east of the Watcher's position outside the Southwatch is home to noisy neeker-breekers.

Watcher Oakdale has asked for your assistance in eliminating the creatures so that he might find a pleasing rest.

Watcher Oakdale: 'Without their constant neeking and breeking perhaps I can find some sleep. Please, help me.'

Objective 2

• Return to Watcher Oakdale

Watcher Oakdale will be pleased to know that the number of neekers near his encampment at the east edge pf the north edge of the Southwatch is diminished.

Watcher Oakdale has asked for your assistance in eliminating the creatures so that he might find a pleasing rest.

Watcher Oakdale: 'Yes, yes, I could hear the sound of the swamp diminish as the neekers retreated from around the camp.

'I thank you, friend, perhaps tonight I will find a true rest that will strengthen my resolve and restore my heart.'

Must Have...

Bestowal dialogue

'Some caravans and drivers have enough coin to press through the blockade here in Andrath, we have seen this happen a few times. The price they pay is steep and drives prices of their goods ever higher in Bree-land.

'Those caravans unwilling or unable to pay the price the brigands demand... Their shipments are claimed by the brigands and this practice must cease. I implore you, [race], search the ruins and the enemy within for any of these goods. They are the lifeblood of our homeland and without this trade we will begin to see true suffering.'

Background

The goods and coin typically coming from the southern lands are a lifeblood in Bree. Without the materials much of Bree-land will suffer. Watcher Oakdale asked that you retrieve some of the materials the brigands procured from caravans unwilling to pay the price to pass through.

Objective 1

• Collect Caravan-goods (0/30)
• Deliver the goods to Watcher Oakdale

Seek out stolen caravan goods within the walls of the Southwatch and carried by the enemies making the ruins their home. Return all that you find to Watcher Oakdale to east of the north entrance of the ruins.

Caravans cannot all afford to pass through the gates and those that cannot lose their goods to the brigands and all of Bree-land suffers.

Watcher Oakdale: 'I am certain that htere are great number of goods scattered throughout the ruins and likely carried by Sharkey's men within the ruins.'

Watcher Oakdale: 'I will hail the next caravan finding their way through the gates, dispatch of any brigands foolish enough to cross me and speed these goods along to those in need. It may not be much, but this will surely help to alleviate what must be a growing problem amongst many of the farmers in Bree-land.

'Here, you have earned this.'

Sharkey's Lieutenant

Bestowal dialogue

'There is a leader among these fiends -- Sharkey's lieutenant in Andrath. I have seen him, a burly fellow -- a Man not a half-breed. He makes his lair high in the southwestern ruins and barks orders out to all these fools.

'He must be dealt with. Perhaps, without a leader, the brigands will not recover, buying time for more to join the fight against this Sharkey.'

Background

Sharkey's Men and their half-orc allies from the South have blockaded the Vale of Andrath, inhibiting trade with the southern nations.

Objective 1

• Defeat Sharkey's Lieutenant at the Southwatch.

Sharkey's Lieutenant can be found at his perch, high and far to the south-west, within the Southwatch.

Watcher Brittleleaf wants to see the leader of the forces at the Southwatch slain.

Watcher Brittleleaf: 'Though I do not believe it will have a great effect, defeating Sharkey's Lieutenant will at least buy us a reprieve for a short time.'

You have defeated Sharkey's Lieutenant at the Southwatch

Objective 2

• Talk to Watcher Brittleleaf

Watcher Brittleleaf awaits your return to the east of the northern entrance of the ruins.

You hunted down and defeated Sharkey's Lieutenant, but the brigands and half-orcs seemed unaffected by his defeat.

Watcher Brittleleaf: 'As I expected, I fear that my companion, Watcher Oakdale, is right. Bree cannot solve this problem alone. We will need to seek counsel elsewhere.

'You have done your service to Bree-land, <name>. I offer you only what you have earned and what we can spare.'
