Journal

• Not all knights are indifferent to the plight of the common folk, and Yaelle, one such earthbound warrior, wants a word with you.

• Yaelle, she of the cool and speculative gaze, appears to enjoy the trust of the common folk; at their behest, she bids you slay a redhorn ogre. The bait is her very own karakul, Sebastion. But first, he must be captured with a length of brambleweed rope.

• Take the bound karakul to Providence Point and leave him at the decoy point.

• The bait is set, now you must wait for the trap to be sprung. Hide yourself away and wait for the unwitting prey. Be ready to strike as soon as the ogre appears, or Sebastian will pay the price.

• The ogre is dead, and the poor karakul is safe, though trembling and wide-eyed. Unbind him that he may return to his mistress.

• Quickly recovering from the shock, Sebastian skips off. Make your way back to Camp Dragonhead to speak with Yaelle.

• Sebastian has beaten you back to Yaelle. Glancing at the karakul's lustrous wool and placid face, you reflect that being a decoy has its satisfactions. The ogre will devour no more of the common folk's flock, and Yaelle is well pleased.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Yaelle: Adventurer, I hear you like a good hunt! The commonfolk tell me they have lost a good many of their animals to an ogre. Their petitions have come to naught and so they come to me, and I in turn come to you.
Yaelle: We must needs have a decoy for this hunt, but I would not ask the folk to risk more of their livelihood. Let us use my own beloved Sebastian to lure this ogre out into the open.
Yaelle: Oh, he is my darling karakul—a wise knight keeps her own source of wool. Yes, Sebastian has clothed me since I came to this camp and will someday feed me, too, no doubt. But today, you will return him to me safe and sound.

Reporting to Yaelle

Yaelle: Ah, there you are, and let us toast to a job well done! I've just finished brushing Sebastian. He will get some squash with his hay tonight.
Yaelle: Corentiaux spoke highly of you and he is right, I think. There is much to be said of a woman/man who is sworn not to a master but to her/his work. With adventurers, one need only speak the end and they devise their own means.
