I've been doing some questioning of the Rentus Outpost survivors, and I think I've discovered something.

A major factor in the Balaur's decisive capture was altered patrol schedules.

They were shuffled so that the Balaur's Rangers would have unusually high effectiveness.

Player: "No wonder, then."

Indeed. It was made worse by the fact that Tyrn Rangers seem particularly adept.

If Rentus Outpost is to be reclaimed, those Rangers must be dealt with, first and foremost.

I'd like to tap your abilities and knowledge to lead the way in that effort.

Player: Accept.

Then when you kill Vasharti Rangers, take their Balaur Arrows.

We think something special about them lends some extra power.

We want to examine them to find out what that may be. Plus, without the Rangers on defense, retaking Rentus will be much easier.

Player: "Consider it done."

I don't believe that Rentus Outpost's strategic possibilities have been totally shattered by Balaur occupation.

Of course, we can't fully test that theory until the Balaur are fully driven out.

Examining those Balaur Bows is the next step in that process. Let's take a look at what you have.

Player: "Take a look."

No, no! If we're to make a sufficient examination of the Balaur Arrows, we need to have enough samples!

Besides, killing Vasharti Rangers should be its own reward.

I strongly suggest you redouble your efforts.

Player: "I'll retriple them!"

Hmm, interesting. This wood is nothing like I've ever seen. And this craftsmanship...!

Well, I'll let the crafting masters continue the examination.

I hope you'll return the next time we need Rangers slain. In the meantime, please accept this payment.
