Quest text

What the quest giver says.

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

The battle's proceeding just the way I wanted it. With their warriors nearly exhausted, I've sent in our cavalry. What I wasn't expecting was ogres. Our knights are well matched against the brutes, but they're going to need help. I need you back on the field right away, ‹name›. Few can bring down an ogre on foot, but I think I can count on you. Don't disappoint me.
