The Few, The Proud, The Brave

The moment you entered, your determination shone forth like a bright blade. I have a task perfectly suited for your abilities.

Recently, I received a report that many people have been attacked by Crimson Spiders near Mimir's Forest. Since the road that connects the town and Nornil's Cave runs through the forest, we cannot simply close it to traffic.

We must clear out the Crimson Spiders, and I am responsible for recruiting people for a militia in order to do so. I think you would be a great help to the effort -- will you do it? Naturally, if you capture the Crimson Spiders, you will receive a generous reward...

• Say that you will help.

I will pose you this question: Suppose you find yourself in a precarious situation; what is your most effective weapon? Power? Experience? Skill? Very important, all of them.

But think of something even more essential for victory. Courage! That is the mark of the true Warrior. As it happens, I have a mission that will require someone with exceptional courage.

Hmm... I do not think you are yet ready. Perhaps with more training... Why don't you come back and see me then?

(Only characters level 15 and above are permitted to embark on this quest.)

I knew I could entrust you with this mission! Now listen carefully. Kill the Crimson Spiders, no matter how many you find. Collect the Crimson Spider Claws as proof. The Crimson Spiders have been seen recently in Mimir's Forest, but they also live in other habitats.

Good luck!

Battle trophies are worth a thousand war stories. So it is with this mission. Prove your bravery and skill with some evidence of your victory.

• Show him the Crimson Spider Claws.

Have you really defeated the Crimson Spiders? If so, you should have brought their claws as proof... If you forgot to do so, go back to Mimir's Forest and collect them now.

But if you are lying to me, stop now!

Oh, you will continue the mission? That is what I had hoped to hear! Return then to Mimir's Forest and continue to slay the Crimson Spiders you find there. Bring back their claws as proof of your victory.

Have you really defeated the Crimson Spiders? If so, you should have brought their claws as proof... If you forgot to do so, go back to Mimir's Forest and collect them now.

But if you are lying to me, stop now!

Well done. You carried out your mission admirably. You have justified my faith in you as a powerful warrior!

Will you continue with this mission? You have certainly proved your skill. If your circumstances will not permit it, however...

• "I will continue."
• "I want to quit."

You seem to have more pressing matters to attend to, so I will not stop you. But should you ever wish to test your courage, come back to me.
