Five Falls in the Duskwood Gloom
In Brill, Apothecary Johaan handed me a pumpkin laced with his latest formula, meant for a Scarlet Zealot held in the cellar of the Gallows' End Tavern. "Harmless pumpkins, right?" he said. I delivered it, and the zealot cried out, "Sweet, sweet pumpkin," and then, a moment later, that his mind and flesh were rotting. I will not soon forget it. That task, Fields of Grief, is done.
In Duskwood I completed An Unfortunate End for the Night Watch Guard. A Night Watchman lay dead, covered in deep gashes, plainly mauled by some large beast. I pried an unlit torch from his stiff fingers.
I also took on many requests in Brill and left them unfinished. Executor Zygand asked me to slay ten Scarlet Warriors, to collect reports from his Deathguards, and to punish five of them for their failings. Apothecary Johaan wants five vials of darkhound blood for his new plague. Carolai Anise wants eight bottles of Whispering Elixir from Shadowvale. Magistrate Sevren wants eight Embalming Ichors taken from the Rot Hide gnolls.
