You say, 'Hail, Raider Essix'
Raider Essix says, 'Save your hailing for someone who cares. I received a report on your efforts in the Heartlands, are you the one that Xilkaz promoted from there?'
You say, 'Yes.'
Essix lets out a hiss. 'Excellent. It's relieving to see recruits make it this far. Our initiates from Grobb have not been able to make it as far as you have lately.'
You say, 'What happened to the recruits from Grobb?'
Raider Essix says, 'I'm so glad you asked, because you've just volunteered to go find out. Our spies report that a group of excessively strong frogloks have been skulking around the bog outside of Grobb, taking our recruits, then bringing them back into Mielech's halls. I want you to venture deep into the lair of Mielech to find out where the initiates are going and why.'
You say, 'All the way into the Lair of Mielech?! You must be twisted to send whoever you'd like there!'
Essix nods. 'A noble test of your skills and loyalty. Start by killing as many of the frogs as you can in the deepest lair. See you soon!'
