Keef
The notorious Black Mage Hardin has asked the Bronze Key Guild to gather bat fangs. For some reason, Elder Keef, the leader of the Bronze Key Guild, has accepted the request and has begun a covert trade with Hardin. Per Elder Keef’s request, hunt blade bats and barbed bats, then bring back one hundred of their fangs for a reward.

I'm in urgent need of a person, but I can't give this job to just anybody in off the street ... It's hard to find reliable help these days.
But it seems like I can trust you. I am a good judge of character. I can tell what a person is like at a single glance. Let me see your eyes ... You do your work in silence no matter what others may think about it ... You seem to be that kind of person ... What do you think? Am I right? I want to give you a task. How does that sound? You want to give it a try?
Player choice:
Your job is to collect bat fangs. While wandering the Spine Mine Field, you will often see
blade bats and
barbed bats. You will hunt them and bring me their fangs. You need to collect exactly 100 fangs.
I don't know what such an odd material is used for, but all we need to do is find the items that our clients want. Our guild members should be able to bring anything, even dragon scales, to our clients. That's our belief.
There's one thing I don't really like about this quest ... the client is Hardin, who has been branded as a black magician by the Humans. Things could become complicated if anyone finds out that our Guild is dealing with such a notorious person ... I hope you won't talk to anyone else about this. Do you understand what I'm saying?
You've done well, my friend. You have brought me 100 bat fangs. Magnificent! I can send these to Hardin's Academy by this week's wagon. I will give you this ring for your work on behalf of the Bronze Key Guild. This token signifies that our Guild trusts you.
Actually, I had a cup of tea with Hardin few days ago. Contrary to the rumors, he was a well-mannered, pleasant person. Having a business relationship with such a person is actually investing in the future. We never know when we'll be put into a tight spot, just like when we were attacked by Orcs before ... We need to have few solid allies as a simple precaution, don't you think?
You've done well, my friend. You have brought me 100 bat fangs. Magnificent! I can send these to Hardin's Academy by this week's wagon. As promised, I will reward you for your hard work. This should be enough, no? Our guild's rule is to give appropriate rewards to those who have worked for us.

You want work? It's true that we are overloaded at the moment, but according to guild rules, I cannot entrust any work to an outsider. I am sorry.
(Quest for Dwarven Village characters.)
As you know, the Bronze Key Guild travels the continent collecting rare materials. We received a request, and I'm looking for a person with the right qualification to manage the assignment.
I'm in urgent need of a person, but I can't give this job to just anybody in off the street ... It's hard to find reliable help these days. Do you have any friends for this job? Someone diligent, and responsible, and that can keep a secret.
I don't want you to come back here until the quest is complete. It is not good for us to be seen together. Come back when you have 100 bat fangs!
