Find Mason Kusenet (The Murk  at -1215, -1750, 27  • Gruplok City) .

You say, 'Hail, Mason Kusenet'

Mason Kusenet Looks up in surprise. She is a stout, hardy Gruplok and she seems to buzz with excitement.
Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Ah, finally <Player Name> comes to see me! Truly this is a fortunate occurrence.'

You say, 'Fortunate? Why?'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Yes, quite! Things have picked up around here quite a bit. In fact, I'd say these are the best days our village has seen in a decade! All thanks to you and your lot, of course. Anyway, now that we aren't all busy bemoaning our lot in life, there is some work to be done and I see no reason not to ask you for your help personally!'

You say, 'What did you have in mind?'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Well just look at the place! Gone straight south if you'll pardon the expression! The walkways are rotting, the dwellings are decrepit. Even our one source of architectural pride is breaking down. The windmill! Oh, we've all seen better days, but that poor device now lurches along like a... like a crippled leech! Ho!'

You say, 'How can I help?'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Glad you asked, glad you asked. These floors have got to be fixed first thing! With the Kaezulians still out in force, we still can't find any volunteers to play lumberjack. Ha! But I'm sure you'd do just fine! Head to the southwest area of the swamp. You'll know the trees when you see them: good, sturdy fellows.. and tall! Four loads of the wood should suffice for now--at least to show we mean business!'

Find Length of Hulkwood Lumber x4 and give it to Mason Kusenet.

Your faction standing with The Gruplok has gotten better!

You gain 15000 experience!!

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Fantastic.. just exactly perfect! You've exceeded any expectation I might have had and thank you for it! This will be put to use right away, don't you worry about that. That means you can jump right on to the next task!'

You say, 'Next task? What next task?'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'You see these colorful buildings? Used to be a point of pride to keep them functional and safe. But with the lizards breathing down our backs, that stopped being important pretty quickly. But now...'

You say, 'Go on.'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Well take a good look at them sometime! Cracks all over the walls anyone can see, of course, but worse are the cracks down below in the support pillars. We've been lucky so far, but those struts need repair in the worst way!'

You say, 'How are we going to accomplish that?'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Ha! Great to see you getting in to the spirit of things! Working as a team benefits all members, I've always said. Well, now the only thing we need to fix these walls is the only thing we can't get: stones from over in the Emerald Jungle. Sure we used to send quarry crews over there all the time, but the lizards--and uh, well and something else--have made that impossible for quite some time. Good thing you're here now!'

You say, 'Something worse than the Kaezulians? I don't think-'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Hah! Ha, but don't you worry about that. Just get yourself over to the jungle and poke around the great staircase they have over there. Stones strewn all around and easy to find! Just grab four of them and bring them on back.. and if you hear a sort of thumping sound, run!'

You say, 'That sounds like it might be dangerous I-'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Well, then it's settled. You should probably start out as soon as possible!'

You gain 25000 experience!!

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Hah! See, what did I tell you? Nothing to be afraid of out there in the jungle! This stone will provide nicely for several of these homes. With the crowds of you folks I've seen around here recently, this place could really start to be something... but enough about the future. What we need now is materials for that windmill!'

You say, 'The windmill?'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Of course, you've seen it.. grinding along threatening to collapse at any moment. Hah! Bet you can hear it from some distance off with all that racket! Well some of your stones will help for the mechanical side of things, but the blades is more my department.'

You say, 'What do we need in order to fix the blades?'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'It'll sound strange to you, I'm sure, but leaves! Giant leaves, probably bigger than yourself. Swamp plants just don't hold up--learned that the hard way years back. No, you'll need to head off to the east where things get leafier. Haven't been able to get a Gruplok through the cave since before I was born, probably. Hah! Good luck to you out there, friend!'

You say, 'Giant leaves? A cave? What?'

Mason Kusenet tells you, 'Yep! As big as you if not bigger! Four is enough! I'll be here waiting on you!'
