Last Resort Analysis

Inquire about the Stormtouched Shards in Pinewood Post.

• Basaan inquired
• Nakeena inquired
• Sondo inquired

<Watu mumbles to himself, eyes closed and arms crossed.>

Of course I get gored by a stag, of all creatures. Now I'm just another one who needs help. My brother will get all the credit, and no one back home will be surprised.

<Watu looks up.> What? What's that you've got there? Glowing rocks? I'll look at one, but take the rest to somebody else. I'm a hunter, not an archaeologist. <Watu snorts, glaring at his leg.> Maybe this is a sign for me to switch jobs. Go on, you've proven more useful than I.

You will receive:

• 7,500 XP
• +200 reputation with Maruuk Centaur

<A strange look has overcome Watu. He barely registers your presence, infatuated with turning the shard over in his hands.>

You see how it glows, like new lightning?

<Watu stares at shock at his leg, newly bloody and pierced with the shard.>

• Speaking with Basaan
• <Basaan takes a shard and knocks it against a piece of iron.>

• It's tough. I could sharpen that and put it on the end of a spear.

• <He hands the shard back and wipes his hands roughly on his leather apron.>

• I don't like touching it. Doesn't give me a good feeling at all.

• Speaking with Nakeena
• Haven't seen anything like that from my travels, nor from my travelers. It's certainly not from these plains.

• Speaking with Sondo
• Sorry. My specialty is foodstuffs.

• Though you say this grew in an animal? That's unnatural. I'd burn it and bury it.

After speaking with all three, Watu stands up.
