Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Hastelot: I'm sorry, [miss/sir]...? Please tell me you're a warrior of some kind... Hastelot: You see, there's a gang of bandits who've moved into the area. They used to be residents of Eulmore, but were exiled for stealing from free citizens. Hastelot: Now they've taken to stealing from us instead. And anyone who tries to stand up to them gets a good beating for their trouble... Hastelot: Folk say they're former soldiers, and seeing how those bastards fight, I'm inclined to believe them. Hastelot: We're just farmers here! We need someone who can stand up to them─someone who knows their way around a weapon! Could you be that person for us...? Hastelot: You'll teach them a lesson, then!? Oh, thank you! Hastelot: We've already hatched a plan to track down their camp─poked a hole in a harvest sack and left it as bait. There's a trail of grain now, leading away from the village to the east, so you might want to start your search there. (Optional) Hastelot: Head out to the east and look for the trail of grain─it should lead you right to their camp.
Investigating the trail of scattered grain east of Wright
System: The trail of grain continues to the east...
Investigating the trail of scattered grain west of the Chisel
System: The trail of grain takes a sharp turn to the south...
Confronting the former Eulmoran soldier and defeating the bandits
Former Eulmoran Soldier: Bah, we've got us a sneaky rat, boys! Better grab it by the tail afore it squeaks to its mates!
Reporting to Hastelot
Hastelot: You...took care of them? I can hardly believe it! Hastelot: We work long and hard for the food we harvest, and to have it all snatched away by those brutes... Hastelot: You'd think with all that training and discipline they'd have an easy time adjusting to an honest life in the field. But I suppose some men are cruel by nature. Hastelot: At least there are good people like you still around to renew my faith in the world. You have our thanks!
