Quest text

What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

You've proven yourself in the field of battle, ‹name›. You might very well have changed the tides in our favor. I've an important assignment for you now. I'm not sure how much longer the weakness we've exposed is going to last, so we must use the element of surprise to our advantage. I want you to use the confusion created by our attack and go behind enemy lines to assassinate their leaders. In order of rank, they are: Captain Olster, Lieutenant Celeyne and Sergeant Lorric. Good luck, ‹class›.
