• Recover the stolen chest of turtle eggs.

• See Endre for your reward.

• 4,000 Experience
• 1,250 Luxon faction
• 150 Gold
• 1 Skill Point

[edit] Walkthrough

From Cavalon follow the path on the mission map east then north. The chest is located in the southwest corner of the Maishang Hills area, point 1 on the mission map. Sergeant Rodrik and the Outcast crew are conversing as you get close, but then turn red and attack. After the fight is over, grab the chest and follow the path marked on the mission map. After crossing the bridge at point 2, you will need to turn almost 180 degrees to the left and take the path heading south. Take the chest to Gyala Hatchery which is in the southeast corner of the same territory. The Kappa and Naga you encounter along this path are quite strong so come prepared. Also as you approach the beach at the end, you will run into a group of Naga which includes Stsou Swiftscale.

The chest is a bundle item, which provides no blessing of any kind, but does not interfere with movement.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Elder Rhea

"You have proven yourself a capable and loyal ally of the Luxons, so it is with confidence that I impart on you this most vital mission. You have, of course, seen how important the great turtles are to us, both as beasts of burden and beasts of war. Unfortunately, a group of bandits have recently attacked one of our supply caravans and stolen a chest of turtle eggs before they could reach the hatchery. Our turtles are very rare, and it is not often that they lay eggs, so every single egg is precious to us. We must track the bandits back to their camp in the Maishang Hills, recover the chest of turtle eggs, and get them to the Gyala Hatchery before something happens to them. Can you do this for us, <player name>?"

Accept: "Hang on, little ones! I'll save you!"

Decline: "Have you ever tried pickled turtle eggs?"

When asked about quest: "I have heard that the bandits make their camp in Maishang Hills. They are sure to have the eggs there. Once you find them, get them back to Hatchery Keeper Gratian as quickly as you can."

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Bandit Leader: "You're late."

Sergeant Rodrik: "We had some...troubles. Do you have the item?"

Bandit Leader: "Yes. Do you have the gold?"

Sergeant Rodrik: "Of course. It's all there, but count it if you must. With these eggs destroyed and our upcoming attack on..."

Bandit Leader: "Quiet fool! I think we have company."

Bug.

This dialogue loops indefinitely if Sergeant Rodrik or the Outcasts aren't attacked.

Hatchery Keeper Gratian

"The stolen eggs! What a relief... I can't bear to think of what would have happened to these little guys if you hadn't found them! Listen, if you have the time, head into the hatchery. There is a new caravan heading out, and I am sure they would be happy to have some additional guards.

My little babies. Shhh...don't worry now. Let me know when you are ready Argo is waiting."

Accept: "Let's go."

"When you are ready, I will let you enter Gyala Hatchery."

Accept: "I am ready."

Decline: "Not right now."

"Your entire party is about to be moved to the next area. Make sure all party members are ready first. Do you wish to continue?"

Accept: "Yes."

Decline: "No."

Cinematic

Argo: "Let's move out. The gods know we move at barely more than a crawl."

<party leader>: "Here they come."

Argo: "Damn predicatable Kurzicks."

Argo: "I knew those cowards would come for the young turtles."

Argo: "You, take up the right. Don't let those Kurzicks within a hundred paces."

Argo: "I'm glad you're with us. We'll need all the help we can get."

<party leader>: "Your fight is my fight."

Argo: "Watch yourself out there. The Kurzicks are a dastardly bunch."

Argo: "Pay particular care to their juggernauts, the golem-like things that resemble walking trees."

Argo: "They are especially dangerous to the turtles."

<party leader>: "I'll take care of them."

Argo: "Well then, good luck. We'll see you at Creon Jade Mine."

[edit] Reward dialogue

Endre

"So you are the ones coming along with us. Argo told me about you. You may have beaten the three clans at the Convocation, but I was not witness to it. Until I see you fight with my own eyes, your strength is nothing to me...Words on the wind. If we make it to the end of this alive, then your reputation with myself, and the rest of the Luxons, will be solid as this sea of jade."

[edit] Notes

• Stsou Swiftscale will not spawn if the quest Attack the Kurzicks! is active.
