[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Verata the Necromancer

"Go to the river and kill a skale so that I can animate a bone horror from its corpse. You’re going to love this..."

 Accept: "Let’s go!"

 Decline: "I’m not ready for this!"

 Ask: "Was I unclear the first time? You need to go south toward the river and kill a skale so I can show you the power death has to offer you. Why do you tarry?"

[edit] Reward dialogue

Verata the Necromancer

"Fantastic, raising a bone minion, isn’t it? There’s nothing quite like controlling the undead. You’ll need to see another trainer before you can learn a trick like that, but I will give you a couple of skills so that you can begin your training to become a true Necromancer.

"I’ll head back into the city and inform Sir Tydus that you passed the first test. Haversdan will supervise your training from here."

[edit] Notes

• Killing anything that can provide an exploitable corpse, not just a skale, will fulfil the quest requirements.
