I am trying to ranch here with my old friend,
Marius. We were going to take our sheep to the sunny hillside right back there and turn them out to pasture ... But the
giant spiders showed up, and we lost all thirty sheep that we brought from Innadril.
We are going to hire mercenaries with the money the governor granted us and drive off the
giant spiders from this area. It looks like you know how to fight ...Do you think you could exterminate those spiders for us?
Player choice:
Hunt the
giant spiders that are wrecking havoc in this area, then bring their husks back to me. I will reward you for each
giant spider husk you bring back.
Oh, and if you need something while hunting those spiders, ask my friend,
Marius. He takes care of everything that we bring from the village.
I am Elias, one of the teachers from the Einhovant's School of Wizardry. My students and I went to the forest to the north of the island on a field trip recently, but some of my students have fallen ill with a strange fever. It has been more than a week since they became ill, but we have yet to find a treatment. I am going crazy with worry that my students may die.
Thankfully, the Priest Yohanes has created a medicine, but he is running short on ingredients. Will you not go and gather the necessary ingredients for my dying students? Your aid is urgently needed. We need the poison sac of the
giant spider, and I am asking you because I trust that someone of your abilities can easily manage this task.
Player choice:
I can't thank you enough for your help. The
giant spiders abound in the northern parts of the island, so hunt them and bring back their poison sacs.
Once you have obtained the poison sacs, go to Priest Yohanes. He will create a fever medicine from the poison sacs. Bring the medicine back to me.
If one of my students should die, how will I ever face their parents? I just want to run far, far away. I implore you, please find those poison sacs. My students are dying!
Welcome, traveler. I originally resided in Gludio Castle Town, but lost my family during the war with Gracia and moved here to start a new life.
I am trying to ranch here with my old friend,
Marius. We were going to take our sheep to the sunny hillside right over there and turn them out to pasture ... But the
giant spiders showed up, and we lost all thirty sheep that we brought from Innadril.
Soon, we're going to hire someone to kill the
giant spiders around this area. Do you think you could help out with that?

I'm Elias, one of the teachers from the Einhovant School of Wizardry. My students and I went to the forest to the north of the island on a field trip recently, but some of my students have fallen ill with a strange fever. It has been more than a week since they became ill, but we have yet to find a treatment. I am going crazy with worry that my students may die.
Thankfully, the Priest Yohanes is researching methods to create a medicine for them. He is very learned in herb lore, and has treated many illnesses. I trust that he will soon find a way to create a medicine for them. But I worry that because there are so many students that need to be treated, he may not have enough ingredients. If we are short on ingredients, I will ask for your aid, so please help us if it is necessary.
(Quest for characters level 15 and above.)
Ah ... You have managed to obtain the poison sacs! I sincerely thank you!! Go at once and take them to Priest Yohanes at the Temple of Einhasad. He will create a fever medicine for you. When he has finished creating the medicine, bring it back to me.
May the blessings of the starlight fall upon you. So you are the mercenary hired by my colleague
Edmond. I was once a Knight with a sword... But... something happened and I pledged not to touch a sword again. I am retired now.
I felt terrible that I haven't been able to help
Edmond. Thankfully, I owe you gratitude for volunteering to kill these spiders for us.
Tell me if you need anything. I will exchange one
healing potion or fifty arrows for ten
giant spider husks.
Player choices:
Please be careful when hunting the spiders. They have very sensitive hearing, so they will attack anything that moves around them. Be on guard from a distance, and be watchful for any unexpected attacks.
I got this
healing potion from Silvia in the village a few days ago. This is a very effective item for treating injuries received in battle.
Player choice:
I bought these arrows from the weapon shop when I went to the village few days ago. Trader Lector took care in selecting these, so you can use them without any worries.
Personally, I would shoot arrows from a far distance to wound the spider, then approach it to deliver the final blow ... but I'm sure you have your own ways of hunting them.
Player choice:
Do you need anything else? I will exchange one
healing potion or fifty arrows for ten
giant spider husks.
Player choices:
Thank you for your trouble. I hope you didn't get hurt? As we promised, I will reward you for each
giant spider husk that you have brought. Here, take this.
Thanks to your help, I will soon be able to graze my cattle without any worries. Just thinking of that makes me so happy. I can picture my sheep peacefully grazing in the pastures on the green hillside.
Player choices:
So this is the fever medicine. Ahh ... I am deeply grateful to you. Because you have so willingly helped others, we can save the lives of my students. May the angels bless you. I must hurry and send this medicine off to the school.
But first ... Please accept this. This is a token of appreciation for having saved my students.
What, there weren't any spiders to hunt? That can't be ... Only a few days ago, those spiders ate some pigs that were in the backyard. They're somewhere around here, I tell you.
Player choices:
You haven't left yet? Hurry and fetch the poison sacs. My students are dying, and it pains my heart to see those youngsters in feverish hallucinations.
Go to the northern end of Talking Island Village to hunt the
If you need anything later, gather
giant spider husks and come back to me.
Please be careful when you are hunting the spiders. They have very sensitive hearing, so they will attack anything that moves around them. Be on guard from a distance, and be watchful of any unexpected attacks.
Elias has sent you, I presume. I will hurry and make the medicine from the poison sacs you have brought me. Anyhow, Elias must be devastated at the turn of events that has happened to his students. But I think that Elias is largely responsible... taking the students to such a dangerous place and all. We Priests always request the protection of the guards when venturing outside the village, but they say that Elias refused the help of the guards, relying only on his magic. So his students pay for his folly... tsk tsk...
Here, the medicine is finished. Take this and hurry back to Elias. I'd like to see the students from the magic school run through the streets again. I pray that the blessings of Einhasad be with them. With this medicine and the powers of Einhasad, I am sure that the students will recover soon. May the blessings of Einhasad be with you.
Have you met Elias yet? I am sure he is anxiously awaiting your return. Please hurry, the lives of many students are at stake.
