What a hideous thing! I dread the horrors its presence portends. Bring the
corpse to Elder Irudad's hut for the Elder to examine.

Some critters are eating our watervine. Faarooq claims he saw one slinking around a vine patch. Ugly little thing, he says; pale white, eight legs, an ear-splitting whine.

I noticed a bit of red dirt in the watervine pool, the same we find in the soil at a nearby &amp;Ycave to the north&amp;y we call &amp;rRed Rock.&amp;y

Travel to &amp;rRed Rock&amp;y and kill as many of these critters as you can. Bring back the corpse of one, too. &amp;GElder Irudad&amp;y will reward your efforts.

You would be wise to speak with &amp;GElder Irudad.&amp;y Look for his hut to the north.
