Script
So it's not just a motley band of devan deserters...it's an organized cult pulling the strings. Worse still, we had no idea at all that their supply base was in the woods, right under our noses.

And without your help, [player name], this information might never have reached us. Of course, this information does us no good unless we manage to clear the cultists out of Oblivion Woods.

(What do you need me to do?)

Yesterday. I sent some of my best scouts into Bestial Vale, looking for the entrance to the Bastion of Lok.

Get into the vale, and report to Isla. She'll tell you where to find the scouts, so you can help them find the cultists' stronghold.

You must be [player name]. Hendry told me about you.

If you're looking for the scouts, though, I don't have good news: They were supposed to check in with me here this morning, but they didn't show up.

Hendry says you can handle yourself, so I'd like you to see if you can find them. Their names are Rurik. Daran, Jorbal, and Ausdan. I'll stay here in case they make it back without you.

(As ordered.)

(Rurik looks like she was savaged by a huge beast.)

(Rest, soldier. You will be avenged!)

(Daran's body is covered with ugly wounds.)

(I'm sorry, friend. You deserved better.)

(Jorbal's body is still faintly warm.)

(Rest easy, soldier. Your duty is done.)

No. No! Get away! Not me too. Not me too!

(Calm down. What happened?)

We made it inside alright, but we didn't get very far before they spotted us. We ran, but they caught us and slaughtered us...one after another. I'm only alive because I hid by this tree. But my friends...l heard their death screams. They went on forever!

Take my report back to Hendry—along with my resignation! I don't care what the federation does to me for deserting...it can't be worse than what happened to my friends!

(I'll…pass that along.)

What? Killed? Blast it!

As for Ausdan...well, I should have known he wasn't ready for this. Alright, then: Officially, he was killed in action. When this is all over, he can just go home again...and maybe, someday, forget all of this.

Thanks for finding them, [player name].

(Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.)

Summary Upon Completion
[player name] was sent to Oblivion Woods to help scout out the Bastion of Lok. [player name] arrived late, however, and Hendry had already dispatched scouts. [player name] hurried to catch up, only to encounter the slain bodies of the soldiers--and one survivor.

The mission had failed, but the scout gave [player name] his report before swearing never to return to service. Hendry accepted the report gratefully and decided to let the deserter go in peace.
