Starting NPC
» Speak to Barbarian Nomad [-1785 60 -2307]

Dialogue:


 * This place here was built by Togrund. A haven where we could practice magic in peace.
 * Togrund, he's always been headstrong, blunt even. Didn't go well in Hilstead.
 * Togrund fancied magic, you see, and the folk of Hilstead didn't. So he left and took plenty of us with him.
 * Why didn't we join Wintervale? I asked him that same question. He called the people in Wintervale prejudiced snobs that only care about themselves.
 * Things were peaceful here, though. We all did our part to make the best of our lives. Even on the darkest days, Togrund's experiments never failed to excite!
 * However, one day, I was coming back from a hunting trip... when I saw the smoke. Rushing back, I was too late... They had all turned undead.
 * Please, find out what happened and set their souls at peace.

Objective 6
» Return to the nomad and tell him of your progress [-1785 60 -2307]

Dialogue:


 * Adder's Smock?
 * I'm afraid I don't know much about that. Perhaps an alchemist would know more.
 * There is a Wandering Alchemist around here. You must find her before it's too late.
 * The alchemist should be able to tell you the effects of the plant, or at the very least, what to do.
 * Follow this road towards Wintervale. I think she's staying in a small hut on the way there.

Dialogue:


 * Yes? How can I help you today?

 * Quickly, go back and defeat him!

Objective 9
» Return to the Barbarian Nomad [-1785 60 -2307]

Dialogue:


 * You were forced to slay him? I see...
 * I will remember him as he was. Strong and brave.
 * Here, take this alchemical item. I don't rightly know what it is, but I was planning on bringing it to Togrund.
 * If those spirits can rest in peace, so can I. Goodbye, adventurer.
