Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

These maps have all been drawn by the same steady hand. I've seen a human surveyor heading up and down the road between the hold and the jungle to the east. We can set their plans back by making an example out of this surveyor, ‹name›. <Kilrok points to the signature at the bottom of the maps.> What do you think that says? "Zykes?" Even human names sound thin and weak. Kill him.
