[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
- Pitney
- "Ach! These worms will be the death of me! They've driven me off my farm! Doesn't matter how many I kill. As long as there's a queen worm, more will be back the next day."
- Here's what I'm thinking: Worms love devourer eggs, right? Can you get a devourer egg from Fadden Hathorn for me? I'll use it to lure the queen into the open, then you can squash her like the bug she is.
I think I can handle a few worms.
Sorry, I'm too busy.
- When asked about quest: Please...if you can get a devourer egg from Fadden Hathorn, I'm sure we can save my farm. If you can't get one from Fadden, try Brownlow the Collector in Lakeside County.

- All right, I'll try to lure the queen into the open. You do the killing. (takes the egg)
