Bestowal dialogue

'I am concerned, <name>, by the evidence you discovered while patrolling the Gloomglens. The crushed boulder and skeleton would be enough to cause concern, but I find the footprint particularly worrisome. The might and stature of the creature suggests a giant or some kind of troll, but the footprint you describe seems more bestial.

'There are many creatures in this world of which we have little or no knowledge, and such a creature would pose a genuine threat to the Grey Company. Therefore, I ask that you track the monster to its lair and dispose of it.

'Be wary upon your hunt, <name>. I fear this beast is more cunning and subtle than its stature suggests.'
