Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

Greetings, friend. It is good to see that you survived your battle in one piece. While Erunak tries to scry a place of safety for us all, I shall assist you in securing a less strenuous means of transport. I have prepared this baitstick to use near a sea turtle. It is crude, but it should serve to bring one under your control. Once you've become comfortable with the animal, simply guide it back here to me.
