Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Hail to you as well <player's race>.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, '<Player Name> is it? Well I'll be... didn't think it'd be this easy.'

You say, 'Sorry come again?'

Rouf's companion Friet speaks up. 'This is it? The bet is as good as won!'

You say, 'Did I miss something?

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Heh, maybe a bit. See me and Friet were just talkin about what exactly a Judges real job is.'

You say, 'Oh? What does this have to do with me?

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'A bit of nothing, and a bit of everything I suppose... tell me <Player Name>... I know I haven't seen ya before, but you seem like a devout follower of Althuna... can you tell me exactly what you think a Judge does?

You say, 'To be honest, I'm not really sure at all.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Interesting... <Player Name>, I'm gonna make yer life really difficult, because I personally believe my job is to change things fer the better. I don't know if thats really how I should do things, but thats how I feel. I'm gonna put in a recommendation for you to join the Rose Squadron. You'll need a second one but-'

You say, '*cough* Sorry, continue, didn't mean to interupt.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Well interupt ya did. As I was saying, Eisa won't usually take on recruits as old as you, but if she gets a couple recommendations she has no choice. I want ya in thar for mah own reasons, but we'll need another. Hope ya don't mind runnin delivery boy a bit.'

You say, 'Not at all Honorable Judge.

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Excellent! I knew I saw ya right. Find High Priest Rodger, he is usually around the library in the Inner City, and bring him this letter. I am sure you won't dissapoint, <Player Name>, but be careful... they always start Small...'

Friet Stonemind says, 'Please... how is this supposed to help anything? You're crazy, Rouf. <Player Name> isn't gonna be-

Judge Rouf Stoutmane says, 'Hush. Let em be.

Find and give High Priest's Letter to High Priest Rodger (City of Mercy  at -2039, 848, 56  • Roams Inner City, Library (Passes by the doorway)) .

High Priest Rodger takes the letter from you, sees Rouf's seal on it and nods to himself. 'I see. I wonder what the old coot has planned. Ah well, we all dance for someone. <Player Name>, do me a favor, and find an old friend of mine, Eskos Naldeen. Say to him, EXACTLY as I say it 'We are still waiting for you'. Tell him that. I don't know where Eskos is these days, but I'd imagine he must have settled in some town by now.'

You gain 500 experience!!

Find Eskos Naldeen (Athica  at 0, -220, 3  • Outside PAL guild) .

You say, 'We are still waiting for you.

Eskos Naldeen looks at you, but defeat is in his eyes. 'I... I just can't <Player Name>... tell him that. I won't be coming back. Not now or ever. Whatever Rodger wants done, he should find someone else... sorry to have wasted your time.

Return to High Priest Rodger.

You say, 'Hail, High Priest Rodger.'

High Priest Rodger sighs. 'I can tell by the look in your eyes that you have failed... its ok I wasn't reallly expecting anything more. I suppose if the best man for the job isn't availible, you make do, wouldn't you agree <Player Name>?

You say, 'What job? Care to clue me in?'

High Priest Rodger looks at you. 'Well... I suppose I'll trust the dwarf... who knows, maybe you'll surprise me. Ok here are a few coins like I promised. I've decided to give you my recommendation for the Rose Squadron. Go talk to Eisa, she's at one of the barracks. She'll be expecting you, but that will likely only make things harder for you. Go there and don't dissappoint. We'll see how much the dwarf really knows...'

Find Eisa of the Rose (City of Mercy  at -1529, -1379, 57  • Patrols South East, near the barracks) .

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'You are it? You have got to be kidding me... the rest of the crew will wreck you! What are Rouf and Rodger thinking... they get more daft every day. Seriously if I had you in my squad our reputation would begin an endless spiral towards-'

You say, 'Excuse me ma'am, but I would appreciate it if you would give me a chance.'

Eisa of the Rose laughs. 'You wouldn't last a minute with my newest recruit.'

You say, 'I'll take that challenge.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Privae Reeve, front and center! You got a challenger! Talk to him when you're ready.'

You say, 'Hail, Private Reeve.'

Private Reeve says, 'Ha! I'll make short work of you. I'm one of Captain Aiden and Duke Thanes hand selected candidates .'

You say, 'Who and who?'

Private Reeve gasps in amazement. 'Duke Thanes... the head crusader of Althuna. Her greatest champion. The Righteous One. Slayer of the Decadent. Defender of the law. And his favored Captain, Aiden. What kind of recruit are you!'

You say, 'Out of the loop clearly... are you ready to fight?'

Note: When she spawns a test npc make sure to remove damage shields/ pets/ and do not auto attack. Also make sure that you also turn your back to him if you have riposte. Just stand there for 60 seconds.

Eisa of the Rose shouts, 'Enough! The fight is over! You lose Reeve. And we will have a talk about your behavior...'

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Well done <Player Name>. Even with the Private acting in an unhonorable way, you still came out ahead. I approve of you a bit more now. We do have another problem though.'

You say, 'Anything involving me?'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'All about you in fact. Look at that gear you are wearing! Ridiculous. If you want to be a member of the Rose Squadron, you better dress like a member of the Rose Squadron. Go find Smith Mithrilhart and ask him for a Rose Squadron package. I'll send out Reeve to let him know you're coming.'

Find Smith Mithrilhart (City of Mercy  at 100, -950  • Inside the top "merchant shop," on the outside circle, northmost building set.) .

You say, Hail, Smith Mithrilhart.'

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'Hmph. You are Eisa's new recruit? Whatever.'

You say, 'I was told you had gear for me.'

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'Ya... well maybe I don't.'

You say, 'Ya... well do you?'

Smith Mithilhart says, 'No.

You say, 'Care to elaborate? Maybe I can help.'

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'Fine. Well we usually get our deliveries from the Silvercrown outta the Oggok mines. Been some trouble there lately, and prices are up alot, but thats not really the issue. The shipment left Oggok, and was going toward Freeport, but the merchants never arrived.

You say, 'Thats terrible! Did they find out what happened to him.'

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'No, no they didn't. And now I have no supplies. It was really lose lose.'

Find Merchant's Corpse (Southern Waste of Tarhyl  at 478, 555  • North of the Dawn Tribe orc camp) . Hail it and kill a brazen bandit that spawn.

Loot and give Mercy Runed Crate to Smith Mithrilhart.

Smith Mithrilhart says, 'Well I'll be... you're more resourceful than you look! Well here then, as it turns out I do have some armor left over. Its all yours, free of charge.'

You receive Rose Squadron Uniform from Smith Mithrilhart.

Return to Eisa of the Rose.

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'I heard what you did in the desert <Player Name>, thats really impressive. I mean it. Most people would have come back to me for orders, and many would punish you for going out on your own, but I like that in a recruit. Too many people these days are complacent... apathetic really. They won't act until they have no choice, and its far too late by then'

You say, 'Thank you Ma'am'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Yes, well you've certainly passed my first two tests, even if I didn't really give them to you, both mercy and bravery. Your next lesson will be survival. You up for this?

You say, 'Yes I am Ma'am'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'I like the attitude at least. I am going to be sending you and a few other recruits to meet with the ranger, Vicks Sureshot. He'll take you on a simple overnight in the Sea of Swords. He should be stationed near the silvercrown, but far enough away from them, that they shouldn't interfere with the lessons. Go meet him out there, and do as he says. Survival is one of the more important lessons you can learn'

Three Tasks for the Tracker

Find Tracker Vicks Sureshot (Sea of Swords  at 562, -9856  • Silver Crown island) .

You say, 'Hail, Tracker Vicks Sureshot.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Ha... Ha ha... Ha ha ha hah! Ha ha ha ha ha ha hah!'

You say, 'Do we have a problem here?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Oh man... this is what she sent? I can't believe it. She has a great sense of humor!'

You say, 'Whats wrong with me?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'You are an Althuna worshipper? Tell me, when do you get to a high enough rank for them to shove a rod up your rear! Ha ha hah!'

You say, 'You aren't a fan of Althuna's worshippers?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Heh you could say that. I've worked with Duke Thanes alot in the past, hunting criminals and the like. Not saying you are all like him, but MAN he doesn't make any of ya look good. You just seemed a bit different was all.'

You say, 'Oh thank you!'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Wasn't a compliment. You look too weak to have made the cut.'

You say, 'Whatever. I'm here for your survival program.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Ya... of course I got your name on my list... being that you are late of course, I already sent the recruits over to the next island. Hope you swim. When you are ready to go, Tell me.'

You say, 'I am ready to go.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Ok, follow me then. Hope you like to swim.'

Follow Tracker Vicks Sureshot

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Time to get wet!'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'The recruits! They are under attack! Hurry don't let any of them die!'

Kill the ambushing reptitus.

Note: Do not allow any of the recruits to die.

You say, 'Hail, Tracker Vicks Sureshot.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Damn that was close. You are a pretty good fighter. Listen I gotta tend to the wounds of the others, but you still look fairly fit. Go over to the lizards home island to the south of here and teach them what it means when you mess with us! 20 of them should be enough to make them think twice about attacking us!'

Kill 20 lizards, then return to Tracker Vicks Sureshot.

Note: Quest flagged character must get the killshot. There is no emote or quest update so count them in your head.

You say, 'Hail, Tracker Vicks Sureshot.'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'That will show them to show there face around here again! Listen you clearly don't need survival training, so if you do me this one more favor, then I'll just check your box and give you flying colors.'

You say, 'That sounds fine to me, what do you want done?'

Tracker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Pirates my friend. No one likes pirates, nobody. They have been hitting Silvercrown ships, and if I can do something about them, they'll agree to 'forget' a little debt I may or may not have. But I gotta stick with the recruits... Do what ya did to the lizards, to the pirates. Take out 20 of them. That'll curtail their escapades for a little while.'

Kill 20 pirates, then return to Tracker Vicks Sureshot.

Note: Quest flagged character must get the killshot. There is no emote or quest update so count them in your head.

You say, 'Hail, Tracker Vicks Sureshot.'

racker Vicks Sureshot says, 'Ah you are a godsend <Player Name>! I'll let Eisa know that there is very little we can teach you about being strong and brave. Go talk to her again. And thanks. I'll remember this.'

Return to Eisa of the Rose.

You say, 'Hail, Eisa of the Rose.'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Well, well, if it isn't our little scourge of the Sea of Swords. Lizards, pirates, and you saved our comrades? That is really impressive <Player Name>. I am about ready to give you a promotion for all this!'

You say, 'I like the sound of that! Er Ma'am!'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'Yes, well you have one more test to pass first. If you do it, then I will officaly recognize you as a Private, and you will be assigned to a Captain for further duties.'

You say, 'Ok, what is the final test?'

Eisa of the Rose says, 'The biggest problem with certain people in this city... in the world really... is a lack of compassion. I don't care how strong you are, you need to know when not to fight too. I wish for you to travel to the King's Pass, and find for me a token of love. I will give you no more clue than that. Find it, read it, and understand it. Bring it back when you have taken its meaning to heart. I don't doubt you will succeed.'

Gather and give Lover's Letter to Eisa of the Rose.

Eisa of the Rose takes the letter from you.'We may never know the full story... but true love knows no bounds. Never confuse it with lust or pure passion. True love is worth dying for, worth protecting. Remember that, if nothing else.' She looks wistfully past you.

You gain 25000 experience!!

You say, 'Are you ok? What is wrong?'

Eisa of the Rose sighs. 'You assignment. I... I don't know what Rouf is thinking. He knows better than this...'

You say, 'I don't understand, what do you mean?'

Eisa of the Rose looks at you. 'First things first. By the power vested in me as a Paladin of Althuna, I hereby grant you the rank of Private, and all the privaledge and responsibilities inherent with the rank.'

You receive Private's Insignia of Althuna from Eisa of the Rose.
