North Ranger Wagner

"What's your purpose here, stranger? You don't look like you're from Elsaland."

"Something bad happened in the Knight Valley and it's no longer safe there, so please pardon me for being cautious around strangers."

(You explain your purpose to Wagner.)

"So Ashley sent you? I see." Wagner nods at you.

"I guess news hasn't reached the training camp. It seems that Elsaland is facing unprecedented disaster."

"Here's what happened..."

"One day I was hunting in the woods and heard roaring monsters at the distant fortress gate."

"When I followed the sound, I saw something I'll never forget: The invincible Elsaland Fortress has fallen before the enemy!"

"It's a joint army of monsters and the Crimson Sawtooth Army, calling themselves the Black Blood Alliance."

"I tried to sneak into the fortress but it was no use-The entire fortress is sealed off by dark magic."

"I wonder if anyone escaped before the fortress fell. Well, would you mind going to Auris Bay in the north and search for me? Hopefully you might find some survivors."

"If you've still time to spare, please help eliminate the Crimson Sawtooth soldiers that are patrolling in northwest, they're the first ones that attacked the fortress."

"Found any survivors?"

"I hear the Crimson Sawtooth soldiers blocked the way to Auris Bay with rocks."

"I'm really worried about the safety of any possible survivors."

(You tell Wagner about witnessing casualties of the assault.)

"Looks like they didn't escape the Black Blood Alliance... upoor, nfortunate children of Elsaland, may they rest in peace." Wagner says sadly.

"Apparently the Black Blood Alliance allows not one survivor, we can't just sit idly by."

"If you're right and judging from the bones, it's obviously the evil work of Bonedeep Assassin Carlo." Wagner falls deep in thought.

"The fool must've been bought by the Black Blood Alliance! We should find a way to take out Carlo before he kills more people."

"%n%, please take this fake knight seal to Auris Bay and disguise yourself as a surviving Elsaland Knight to draw Carlo out and kill him."

"Time for him to pay for a lifetime of crime."

"Carlo must still be hanging around entrance of Auris Bay."

"Search for possible hiding places in the area, he could just be laying low."

"You've killed Carlo? I've waited long to hear that news" Wagner nods, pleased.

"Now at least no one will fall under his blades."

"There's something else I need your help with, so please don't say no, my friend."

"When you were eliminating Carlo, I got news of some knights and officials that have escaped from the fortress and are seeking shelter in the Eternal Mountains."

"%n%, I'll send word to Ashley at the Knight Training Camp about the situation here."

"Please go to the Sandwind Observatory in the Eternal Mountains and discover the truth. I believe there are refugees needing your help there."

"Young %c%, have you heard of Ranger Boder?"

"You may not have heard it since you're from the south. Boder is my idol and used to be called the best ranger in the north."

"I hear he's hurt his foot lately, would you go to east of Minorsnow Forest and deliver the ointment?"

"He stopped talking to me ever since people think I surpassed him."

Did he take it?

"Ha, a happy ending isn't it?"

"I believe once old Boder's foot is well, he'll come alive again."

"The villains must be hatching a terrible plan in the sealed fortress, or they wouldn't have sealed it with dark magic."

"I can't stand to see my homeland's honor tarnished."

"The werewolves use Elsaland flags and banners as napkins! Can you imagine? They're wiping their greasy, barbeque saucy hands on our flag! Werewolves love BBQ."

"Go to the Elsaland Fortress gate to the west of the tribe and help us retrieve our banners from the Blacknest Werewolf Warriors and Vanguards."

"Never show mercy to those barbaric Blacknest Werewolves."

"They won't return the favor."

You solemnly return the BBQ sauce stained banners to Wagner.

"Thank you for your help. I'll wash these, and they'll be good as new." Wagner carefully put away the banners.

"The people of Elsaland will be forever grateful for your help."
