Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Arkasodara Youth: Are you an adventurer, by chance? If you're looking for work, I could use some help sorting out what's left of the hatchery.
Arkasodara Youth: You'll come, then? Good. It's just a little ways north of here.

Speak with the Arkasodara youth at the Hamsa Hatchery

Arkasodara Youth: Look at this place... It's a shame what they did to it, those villains from the tower.
Arkasodara Youth: I wish you could have seen the hatchery before all this happened. Until only very recently, it was busy as you please, selling meat, eggs, and poison extracts to eager merchants from across Thavnair and beyond...
Arkasodara Youth: But lamenting the facts won't undo what's done, will it? Let's get to work.
Arkasodara Youth: Your task will be to sprinkle the nests with this pungent solution, which should keep the wildlife from making their lairs in the ruins. Most creatures won't come within ten yalms of it, but the hamsa don't seem to mind the smell.
Arkasodara Youth: And although we should probably clear away those old nests while we're at it, I want the birds to have a familiar sight to come back to...one day. Anyway, you get on with the sprinkling, and I'll start shifting the rubble.
(Optional)
Arkasodara Youth: We have a half-dozen vials of that solution, so don't be afraid to slosh it around!

Sprinkle the pungent solution on the hamsa nests

System: You find a large egg in one of the nests. Even covered with the stink of the solution, it may prove too tempting for any nearby predator. It might be safest to hand the egg to the Arkasodara youth...

Hand the hamsa egg to the Arkasodara youth

Arkasodara Youth: All done...? Oh, what's that you have there?
(Hand over hamsa egg)
Arkasodara Youth: You found a hamsa egg!? One of them must have found her way back here to lay it!
Arkasodara Youth: Whether the mother can return to hatch it, however, is another story... I realize we've only just begun cleaning up here, but I think it's best I get this egg back safely to the Great Work.

Speak with the Arkasodara youth at the Great Work

Arkasodara Youth: Sorry to have you running back and forth, but this is very important to me. While I'm grateful to the alchemists for letting me work here, my true passion was raising the birds at the hatchery.
Arkasodara Youth: After the...the “incident,” I didn't think there was much I could do aside from tidying up the mess. As soon as you handed me that egg, though, I felt hopeful again!
Arkasodara Youth: Where there is new life, there are new beginnings, and the Hamsa Hatchery deserves to rise again! It isn't much, but please take this in exchange for the gift you've given me!
