Quest Text

Bestowal dialogue

'Something has been stirring up the bats since we arrived. At first, I thought it was those goblins, but I spotted something else the other day...it looked a bit like one of those merrevail, but different in some way.

'I say we find out what it was and deal with those bats while we are about it! There is a small outpost north of here, the Door to the Clouds, near the entrance to Zirakzigil. Go there and speak with Kalman to find out what they know of the bats.'

'The bats sem to dwell in a cave a bit south and east of here. I am unsure of what has roused them, but I would imagine that it might be found within that cave. Hunt as many of those winged menaces as you can, while you are there.'
