Find Sergeant Halsey (Northern Newport  at 265, 23  • Inside the gatehouse during) .

You say, 'Hail, Sergeant Halsey'
Sergeant Halsey says, 'Good day, citizen. I am Sergeant Halsey, coordinator of infiltration operations for Newport.'
You say, 'Could you explain these operations?'
Sergeant Halsey says, 'We send scouts to infiltrate various inhabited regions of the world. Currently, our scouts are scattered throughout the badlands.'
You say, 'What are they doing there?'
Sergeant Halsey says, 'I've sent them to collect information on three of the more dangerous regions of the badlands, though now I require their reports... and thus far they haven't returned with them.'
You say, 'What are the reports for?'
Sergeant Halsey says, 'At the end of each operation, the scouts write up a report on what they've seen in the area, to increase our intelligence about the goings on. Since they've yet to arrive with the reports, I'll need to find someone willing to gather them.'
You say, 'I can do that'
Sergeant Halsey says, 'Excellent! Take this Mark of Newport, so the scout knows you are one of us. Once they are ready to hand over their report, they will -- then all you have to do is return the three reports and mark to me. The exact locations of the scouts are unknown... so you will have to find them. Good luck!'

You receive Mark of Newport from Sergeant Halsey.

Scout Timms

Find Scout Timms (Eastern Badlands  at 1000, 700  • North of the bridge to North Badlands, next to a tree)

You say, 'Hail, Scout Timms.'
Scout Timms says, 'Ah, another of Newport. It's nice to see a friendly face after the time I've spent here. I suppose by the mark you carry that you've been sent by Sergeant Halsey, for my report?'
You say, 'Yes.'
Scout Timms says, 'Very good. Here it is, I hope the Sergeant is pleased with my findings.'

You receive Timms' Report from Scout Timms.

Scout Velia

Find Scout Velia (Northern Badlands  at -975, -2365  • Near the wooden bridge to East Badlands)

You say, 'Hail, Scout Velia.'
Scout Velia says, 'Not now...' Scout Velia glances at you again, 'Oh, the mark. Very well, I'm nearly finished with my report. I have one problem though.'
You say, 'What seems to be the problem?'
Scout Velia says, 'You see, this Small farm is now the home of the bloodblade bandits -- their leader appears to be one they call Nate Bloodblade. He's in the house across the way from the barn. If I had some way to disguise myself and sneak in, I could find out the last bit of information I need.'
You say, 'Why do you need a disguise?'
Scout Velia says, 'Well... I doubt they'd take kindly to a Newport scout walking into their camp. I need something to make myself blend in -- I'll hang back here, see if you can get me some new clothes. Hmm... maybe some new pants, a new shirt, and oh... some boots? If so, bring them to me and I'll go have a chat with Nate.'

Gather and give Scout Velia:

  • Footpad's Shirt
  • Footpad's Leggings
  • Footpad's Boots
Scout Velia puts on the disguise, 'Hold on to my Newport Badge while I do this -- he may notice it... and that would be bad.'

You gain 5000 experience!

You receive Velia's Badge from Scout Velia.

Scout Velia says, 'Alright, here I go. Wait outside the house until I tell you its safe. This may get messy...'

Follow Scout Velia to Nate Bloodblade (Northern Badlands  • Inside house) .

Scout Velia says, 'Do you have a moment, Nate?'
Nate Bloodblade says, 'Who are you? I don't recognize you...'
Scout Velia says, 'It doesn't really matter, Nate. You have something I want... so you either hand it over calmly or I take it from you. Which will it be?'
Nate Bloodblade says, 'Look missy, I don't know who you are, but I won't settle for that tone! Learn your place before I put you in it myself.'
Scout Velia says, 'Your choice... we'll do it the hard way.' Scout Velia draws her dagger and lunges at Nate Bloodblade.
Nate Bloodblade says, 'What's this, hmm? Come to hand over your purse?'
Note: You can assist Scout Velia, but she can finish him off all alone. If you do assist, it is suggested you pull Nate Bloodblade outside of the house.
As Nate Bloodblade's dying body crashes to the ground, he knocks over a table, causing a letter to fall nearby.

Take An Unmarked Letter that will now spawn as a ground spawn.

Give Velia's Badge to Scout Velia.

Note: If you don't give her the badge until she returns to her spawn site, she makes a comment to how she should slap you for not giving her the badge when she asked you to. Then she gives you Velia's Report with a snide comment and you receive no xp!
Scout Velia ducks out of sight, 'Thanks, I'm going to hang back until things blow over -- this will cause quite a commotion. Here's the report on the Northern Badlands.'

You gain 1000 experience!

You receive Velia's Report from Scout Velia.

Note: Hail her again if you didn't find an An Unmarked Letter. It is necessary for the next quest.

Scout Ronfer

Find Scout Ronfer (Southern Badlands  at 2370, 940  • End of the bridge)

You say, 'Hail, Scout Ronfer.'
Scout Ronfer says, 'Ah, you have the mark -- Sergeant Halsey must have sent you. I appologize for my delay in returning to Newport, the gnolls of the south have kept me at bay... though I was finally able to escape... or so I think.'
You say, 'Where did you escape from?'
Scout Ronfer says, 'The gnolls had me pinned down far to the south, and it appears my report was taken by one of them... but...' Scout Ronfer notices apporaching gnolls, 'Oh no! They've caught up to me -- quickly, we must fight off the encroaching threat.'

Kill the two Rothide Gnolls before they kill Scout Ronfer.

Scout Ronfer says, 'Rest for a moment, I fear we are not yet safe.'
Scout Ronfer says, 'Ah, here come more. Ready your weapons!'

Kill the two Rothide Captors before they kill Scout Ronfer.

Scout Ronfer says, 'Tend to your wounds -- there may be more gnolls approaching yet.'
Scout Ronfer says, 'More gnolls approach, be on guard.'

Kill the two Rothide Champions before they kill Scout Ronfer.

Scout Ronfer says, 'We've fought them off for now, though there are likely more enroute. Rest for now, but stand ready.'
Scout Ronfer says, 'Ah, here come more. And look, one of them had my report! Let's retrieve it, shall we?'

Kill the Rothide Champion and Rothide Captain before they kill Scout Ronfer.

Scout Ronfer says, 'The gnolls are defeated for now, it seems. Ah, and here is my report.'
You say, 'Hail, Scout Ronfer'
Scout Ronfer finishes the report and hands it to <Player Name>, 'There you are, <Player Name>. I'm sure Sergeant Halsey will be pleased with the information I've gathered. Now if you excuse me, I must return to my scouting duties.'
