- Bears x 10
- Rabbits x 10

Walkthrough
Find Vaton, the Master Trainer (Forest of the Fallen at -1060, 820, -5 • In the giant fort) .
You say, 'Hail, Vaton, the Master Trainer'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'Hello <Player Name>, Tigan has told me a lot about you.'
You say, 'Tell me about yourself, Vaton.'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'I am Vaton, trainer of the sworn. I have a menagerie of various forest fauna that I have trained to do all sorts of things.'
You say, 'What sort of things?'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, '(All kinds of things, anything from fighting to being beasts of burden to being friendly companions. Unfortunately, I've lost several in my collection. I haven't been able to trap more like I had wanted to, but with the Yiv killing our food hunters, I've been too scared to leave the fortress.'
You say, 'Anything I can do to help?'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'Perhaps <Player Name>. If you could go do some trapping for me, I could get more creatures trained. Would you do that for me?'
You say, 'Yes, I would be happy to help you.'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'Great <Player Name>, your help will be appreciated. I will give you a trap, take it and try to capture the animals with it. Dexterity is crucial in capturing these animals.'
You say, 'How will I capture the animals?'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'I will give you a trap, get close to the animal and try to trap them. If you're successful, all is well. If you fail, chances are they will become aggressive towards you.'
You say, 'Okay, give me the trap.'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'Grizzle bears, rabbits, wolves, mountain lions, frogs, bees even owlbears. I'm interested in them all! When they are trained, they make excellent defenders. Great dexterity will help you catch animals. I will keep track of them, just let me know if you have any questions.'
You receive Vaton's Trap.

Bee Keeper Bructok
You say, 'Hail, Vaton, the Master Trainer'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'Hello again, <Player Name>. I've been studying the Bzztzz workers you captured for me, it seems there is something different about them. Maybe Bructok will know something about it'
You say, 'Bructok? Tell me more about him.'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'Bructok is a small giant, it's rare but it does happen. We generally exile them to fend for themselves but he's also sort of the village idiot. We gave him the job to handle the bees and collect honey for us. He does a great job so we've just accepted him as our village idiot. Find him and see if he's noticed anything different with the Bzztzz.'
Your journal has been updated. [Helping Vaton]

Find Bee Keeper Bructok (Forest of the Fallen at 1130, 1550 • Under a small overhang) .
You say, 'Hail, Bee Keeper Bructok'
Bee Keeper Bructok says, 'Hello <Player Name>, nice to see you again.'
You say, 'I can't help but notice that you're smaller than the others.'
Bee Keeper Bructok says, 'Unfortunately that is true, and it's also why I'm not allowed to live in the fort. I've been exiled by my people because I cannot fight.'
You say, 'Why would that matter?'
Bee Keeper Bructok says, 'The evil one, Kaezul, requires my people to give him the strongest members of our tribe to fight his war. I cannot fight, therefore I cannot live there. Guorth and the others are afraid that Kaezul would see me as an outsider like yourself and send in forces to destroy what's left of us.'
You say, 'That's why I was told not to go in there.'
Bee Keeper Bructok says, 'Probably so. Anyway, I spend my time here tending to the bees. Unfortunately I haven't been able to collect honey lately.'
You say, 'Why not?'
Bee Keeper Bructok says, 'They have become very aggressive lately. I suspect the Yiv or their allies have been killing them for their honey. I'm too weak to fight them anyway.'
You say, 'Maybe I could investigate.'
Bee Keeper Bructok says, 'That would help a great deal, <Player Name>. If you find anything, please let me know.'
You say, 'Hail, Bee Keeper Bructok'
Bee Keeper Bructok says, 'Have you found anything out yet, <Player Name>?'
You say, 'Yes, I have found evidence.'
Bee Keeper Bructok says, 'Hand to me what you have found, <Player Name>. Let me have a look.'
Gather and give Bee Keeper Bructok:

The brush moves suspiciously in the distance.

You say, 'Hail, Bee Keeper Bructok'

Bee Keeper Bructok shouts, 'I...was...wrong...bees...deadly...tell Vaton!!'
Bee Keeper Bructok gasps as the Bzztzz poison courses through his veins.
Bee Keeper Bructok draws in his last breath as the poison reaches his heart. 'Telllll...Vatonnnn'

You say, 'Hail, Vaton, the Master Trainer'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'Hello again, <Player Name>. Were you able to find Bructok?'
You say, 'I was, he was attacked by the Bzztzz, he's dead.'
Vaton, the Master Trainer sighs heavily, 'The bees have become abnormally aggressive. I'm afraid we're going to have to purge this hive.
You say, 'What do you mean, 'purge the hive'?'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'If the Queen dies, the workers will die too. The drones will choose another queen and the hive will start over. Hopefully they will be new and unagressive at that point.'
You say, 'So you want me to kill the Queen?'
Vaton, the Master Trainer says, 'Yes <Player Name>, it must be done. Our scouts have reported the Queen to the west. Hurry!'
