Find Glakrin the Huntsman (The Murk  at -1520, -1290, -15  • under Gruplok City platform) .

You say, 'Hail, Glakrin the Huntsman'

Glakrin the Huntsman tells you, 'Hail. Oh, you must be that <Player Name> I've been hearing about. I suppose I should thank you. I'm the last true huntsman in the village, you see, and as a result I've come into possession of the Knife of Gruthluk that you gathered pieces for. It's a good knife - perfect for cutting open the bellies of those vile murklings.'

You say, 'I'm glad you like it.'

Glakrin the Huntsman tells you, 'Indeed. It is not so good against the szithri, however: their legs are too wispy, and they are mostly able to keep their bodies out of our reach. They say we used to be able to catch a szithri just by flicking them with our tongues - but who knows what poisons their oversized bodies are producing these days. What we really need are some good hunting spears - I'm sure I could train some of the lads to use them...' Glakrin's words trail off.'

Gather and give Glakrin the Huntsman:

• Old Gruplok Hunting Spear

Glakrin the Huntsman tells you, 'Oho, I've seen this before: this is a hunting spear made by old Huntsman Grakhalak! Where did you get this? Ah, but no matter - thank you for bringing this to me. If you find any more, I'll be happy to take them off your hands. The Gruploks may continue to be hunters yet...'

You gain 2,000 experience!!

Your faction standing with The Gruplok has gotten better!

On the 10th turn in:

Glakrin the Huntsman tells you, 'Thank you kindly, <Player Name>. We'll have plenty of spears to train with and - with any luck - to use out in the wilds, soon enough. If you find any more, we could always use some spares, I suppose.'

You gain 2,000 experience!!

Your faction standing with The Gruplok has gotten better!

You say, 'I'll keep that in mind.'

Glakrin the Huntsman tells you, 'Thank you. Ah, <Player Name>? If you'll permit me, I have a question to ask of you...'

You say, 'What is it?'

Glakrin the Huntsman tells you, 'These spears you've given me... you've taken them from the hands of the lingering Gruplok dead, haven't you?'

You say, 'I have.'

Glakrin the Huntsman tells you, 'I suspected as much. It pains me to think of having to fight our fallen brothers and sisters... but so long as they continue to roam the swamp, they will be a threat to our hunters. Lately, I've been speaking with Kalunepe about an old myth. We don't know the whole story, exactly, but this particular myth is about the hero Gruthluk fighting the unliving abominations of the old Empire. It seems the myth mentions some of the special weaponry he used to cleanse the abominations and send them back into the void in one sweep. I know the myths are likely not entirely true, as Grupruk liked to remind us, but if these weapons are as good as this Knife of Gruthluk you helped us make... Well, we will need to protect our hunters out in the wilds, and if we could use such weapons to clease our fallen people...'

You say, 'Go on.'

Glakrin the Huntsman tells you, 'I'd like you to help us attempt to recreate these weapons, if you would be willing. You'll need to talk to Kalunepe to find out exactly what is needed. Our new hunters will need all the help they can get...'

You say, 'But you'll need my help, is that what you're getting at?'

Glakrin the Huntsman tells you, 'well, honestly, yes. I'd like you to help us attempt to recreate these weapons, if you would be willing. You'll need to talk to Kalunepe to find out exactly what is needed. Our new hunters will need all the help they can get...'

Your journal has been updated. [Myths and Bones]

 

Journal Text: Glakrin wants me to help him try to recreate some potent undead-cleansing weaponry from one of the old Gruplok myths. First of all, I'll need to speak with Kalunepe to find our more about the myth.
