Pick of the litter, they said. "Come to Alsig Village! Streets made of gold, and money just laying around." So, when I was assigned this post, I figured I'd hit the jackpot.

Then I get here and... nothing. Just regular people, regular problems, and regular streets. No gold.

Player: "There's NOTHING going on here?"

Well, not exactly....

See, one of the residents here, Balom, he's got more money than most, and a strong hatred for Worgs to boot. He's gone and put a bounty on the creatures, as it happens, and is promising a big old reward for whoever kills the most.

I can kill hundreds of them, but need a few Laupede's Poison Thorns first. If you want in on the bounty, why don't you kill a few Rainbow Laupedes, collect their thorns, and bring them to me?

Player: Accept.

Good! We'll be laughing all the way to the Broker in no time!

First though, there's work to be done! Hurry to the Red Lava Cliff and kill some Rainbow Laupedes.

I'll need at least seven Laupede's Poison Thorns!

Player: "I'll get it done."

Back already?

Let's have a look at those Laupede's Poison Thorns then!

Player: "Here."

No... I asked for seven Laupede's Poison Thorns, remember?

Player: "Ah. My mistake."

Five... six... seven!

And here's your reward. A fair day's work earns a fair day's wage, eh? Perhaps I'll strike it rich in this place after all.

Now I just need to kill those Worgs....
