Path to an Elven Ranger

I have heard from Moretti. You must be the one who took charge of investigating this case. You must be going to the ol mahum's campgrounds. If you follow this road west, you will arrive at a fork in the road. Follow the road that heads southwest and you will reach the campgrounds. It used to be a place where the Gracian army made its camp, but it was abandoned for some time before the remaining army of ol mahums settled down there.

Pippen and I were classmates, so please find out where he is. I hope nothing has happened to him ... Pray, be careful.

All right, It's time to tell you what is going on.

A fortnight ago, I set off on a regular patrol of the ruins with a few of my colleagues. However, while we were looking around the reconstruction site, a group of ol mahum patrollers suddenly attacked us! In our experience, they usually don't appear at the ruins, but for some reason they suddenly showed up and attacked us. During the surprise attack, we were unable to keep our formation and fought back as best we could to make our escape. It was total chaos as we continued to try and fight our way free of the trap ... I still get shivers when I think of it!

When we had won free and regrouped, we discovered our problem. One of our party, Pippen, was nowhere to be seen. We didn't know what to do, since he had vanished while we were preoccupied. So we returned to the village as quickly as we could, gathered more of our colleagues and returned to the ruins. But no matter how much we searched, we could not find a clue to his whereabouts. Since then, we are continuing our investigations, but we still have not found a clue to his whereabouts. So in the end, I requested the help of Reisa. Poor Pippen ... I am really worried.

Thank you for your decision to help us in our task. My colleagues traced the footsteps of the ol mahum patrols, and it seems that they are staying in the Abandoned Camp. I think that would be the best place to start searching.

If you are not familiar with the geography around here, ask Guard Babenco at the western entrance of the village. He will tell you how to find the

Why, this is a letter Pippen left behind! And it is torn into pieces... I am sure he ripped it up while he was trying to leave us a message. Anyway, let's quickly assemble the pieces and read the letter.

Hmm... If I put this one on top... Ah! At last, I can read it. "I write in haste. Emergency! They have kidnapped me and are planning to attack Gludin Village. The Ol Mahum scouts are taking me to The Neutral Zone in the Elven Forest. It's an emergency..." The letter ends here.

Now I know... The reason the Ol Mahum showed up in the ruins... The reason they kidnapped Pippen... At least now we know where he is so there is a slight hope, but can we save him? I must ask you another favor. We must prepare for the upcoming attack, so please go and save Pippen...

Every moment is critical! If you meet Pippen, give him this. This is a letter that explains the circumstances and a medicinal herb that will cure his wounds. To go to the Neutral Zone, cross this bridge in front of you and follow the road north. It is where Dark Elven Village and Elven Village soldiers stand face to face against each other.

You are very lucky. You came just when the others had left and only the sentries remained ... Anyway, I am free, thanks to you. Thank you very much. Ah, Moretti sent me a letter? And an herb as well ... he is a wonderful friend. I begin to feel faint just by thinking about my captivity, and the torments I've had to endure.

The scoundrels here just now were scouts of the group that was going to attack our village. They were planning to do their work in the Elven Forest where Humans cannot enter easily. Since you arrived at the right time, we can alert the people of the danger.

Take this to Moretti and tell him that it will be hard for me to return immediately ... Tell him I will take a closer look at the situation here and join the guards later.

I am entirely in your debt. Thank you very much. To think that I would receive help from the Elves in my lifetime! On your way back, please take this letter to Moretti I beg you!

Elven Village friend, do not worry about me but please take my letter to Moretti I will have to scout some more.

Ah, you have finally returned. Is Pippen safe? What about his letter? Hmm...

Ah, I do not know whether my friend is truly courageous or merely rash. I can't believe he is staying behind to patrol. Anyway, he is very obliged to you. He may seem a little impolite on the outside, but he has a very kind heart. It’s just that he is awkward when it comes to expressing his gratitude.

Now our guards must prepare and set off for the battle. We must teach the Ol Mahum gaffers a lesson. At any rate, your distinguished services have greatly helped this case. I have spoken to the captain of the guards and he has already prepared an Honorary Guard. If you take this to Master Reisa, you will be able to get what you want. Well, I have many things to prepare, so goodbye.

Please find my friend Pippen somewhere in The Neutral Zone, and give him the herb and letter that I gave you. The Neutral Zone is to the north of our village, across the bridge and along the road. It is the region where

I see you have received an honorary guard certificate. I have already heard of your achievements. Guard Moretti highly praised you. Now I can gladly recommend you as an Elven Village Ranger. Who but a skilled Elf like you could become an Elven Village Ranger?

In the future, I hope you train still further, to become a magnificent Stealth Sentinel or Silver Ranger. Now take my recommendation and go to Grand Master Rains. He will change your profession to Elven Village Ranger. May the power of Eva be with you.
