Awl Under Foot

I am the Detention Camp Warden of this fortress. This underground monster camp was recently discovered.

I know that other fortresses also have camps like this. My duty is to keep this dungeon camp area safe.

After all, it would hardly be desirable to have monsters appearing and disappearing in the dungeon of a fortress, would it?

Unfortunately, we simply can't handle this job alone.

We need help from the clan members.

We'll compensate you for your help, naturally.

• Say you will help.

Who are you? I don't see your name on the list of clan members...

(This quest is reserved for members of the clan that currently owns this fortress.)

Thank you for volunteering to help, kind adventurer, but we can't allow inexperienced clan members to put themselves in jeopardy -- bad for our reputation, you know.

Believe it or not, I was once a prominent adventurer before taking this job.

If I can give you some advice, you're not quite ready for such a task.

Why don't you come back to me after you've had an opportunity to further develop your skills.

(This quest is only available for characters Level 60 or higher.)

Thank you for volunteering to help!

The dungeon monster camp in this fortress was only recently discovered.

Apparently, some long-dead emperor created this place years and years ago in order to breed the monsters for the sake of magical experimentation.

Another rumor says that this place was used as a prison for criminals and evil creatures.

Whatever the real reason for its existence, the entrance had been hidden for a very long time.

Since you've volunteered your services, your task will be to eliminate Brand the Exile, Commander Koenig and Gerg the Hunter, creatures that are members of the last of three small groups in the fortress dungeon and obtain the sign of the camp prisoner's leader.

• I'll leave now.
• What is the current status of the Fortress Camp?

Hmm...

since it was abandoned for a long time, the prisoners of the camp -- all monsters -- now rule it.

There are web-like secret paths known only to them.

And those paths are connected to the areas controlled by the monsters on the surface.

Ironic, isn't it, that the monsters that were captured so long ago now have built their own hierarchy of evil here...

• That does explain why monsters in the camp appear and disappear from time to time.

That's right.

So we keep asking for help from the clan's adventurers...

Of course, the high-ranked strategists, scholars and mystics are constantly looking for a more permanent solution.

But with the fortresses in a state of constant strife, that doesn't seem likely any time soon.

In the meantime, there's nothing else to do but keep suppressing the monsters the old-fashioned way.

• What can I do?

Once there was a major fight between the evil beings and the keepers of this dungeon camp.

What a battle...

Both sides suffered enormous casualties.

But at least the conflict seems to have kept many of the lower level monsters in check.

However, the strongest of the creatures have formed 3 groups and are regularly marauding through the camp.

Judging from their recent activity, they're planning something, that's for sure.

Your task will be to eliminate the 3 groups so that the remaining evil creatures in the camp can be driven out. Kill the General Monster of the

last group, and bring back the Camp Prisoner Leader's Sign.

In return, I'll give you the Knight's Epaulette, which you can exchange for the fortress clan supply.

Oh, one last thing:

the prisoner leaders we've identified so far are Brand the Exile, General Koenig and Gerg the Hunter.

I can admit you to the dungeon of the fortress right now.

Please do me this favor!

Enter the fortress dungeon and slay the prisoners you find there.

Your task is to eliminate the 3 groups so that the remaining evil creatures can be destroyed. Kill the leader of the last group, and bring back the Dungeon Leader Mark.

In return, I'll give you the Knight's Epaulette, which you can use to exchange the clan's supplies from a supply general.

The dungeon leaders we've identified so far are Brand the Exile, Commander Koenig and Gerg the Hunter.

I can admit you to the fortress dungeon right now.

• "I would like to know the current situation in the dungeon."

So you dealt with the prisoners in the camp? Well done!

Thank you for your help in eliminating this threat to our safety.

Here is the Knight's Epaulette as promised.

You can exchange it with the fortress clan supply.

...

Would you like to continue your efforts down here?

• Say that you would.
• Say that you want to stop.
• "I would like to know about the current status of the Fortress Camp."

Then keep up the good work and destroy the last monsters to appear from the three groups. The prisoner leaders are called Brand the Exile, Commander Koenig and Gerg the Hunter.Bring the prisoner leader's sign and I'll give you the Knight's Epaulette.

Good luck!

Ah, I understand -- no doubt another adventure calls you...

Thank you for all you've done here.

If you'd like to lend a hand again, we'd be very grateful.

Good luck on your journeys!

I can grant you access to the fortress dungeon camp.

Thank you for your help!
