The Volunteer

Locations: Oxenfurt Port, White Eagle Camp

Characters: Rock Troll

Enemies: None

Singing a Happy Tune

Objectives:
  • Look around the area.
  • Nearest Signpost: White Eagle Camp.

It seems Berto Bertolomiu, Captain of the Oxenfurt Garrison, has left a warning note entitled “Beware of Trolls!” on the Notice Board in the Whitebridge district (north) of Oxenfurt. Read it (or simply stumble upon the troll itself), and begin a search of the area. This involves boating or swimming across the Pontar River, heading westwards to a cluster of low-lying islands. Soon you’ll stumble across a makeshift camp of wrecked boats and other flotsam, and a rock troll singing a Redanian marching tune.

Speak to the lumbering brute, and you’ll discover he was hired by the Redanians to watch their boats. He’s been eating those that venture too close to his lair, and by the end of the conversation, you can:

  • Choose a violent end and slaughter the troll, fulfilling the request of the guard captain.
  • Agree to find some red and white paint, so the troll (if you’re understanding the half-gibberish he spouts) can mark this lair as a Redanian colony.

End: Beautifoo, Pretty Birdo

Objectives:
  • Find the paint the troll needs.
  • Deliver the paint to the troll.

Return to Oxenfurt on your search for paint. You are fortunate that the General Store in Whitebridge (across from the Notice Board) in the north of the city has the paint you need. Speak to the store owner, and purchase it (during daylight hours).

ITEM: Quest Item: Paint

Make a return journey to the troll’s camp, and present the paint. The troll hopes you can use your not-considerable painting talents to daub the insignia (which must be chicken based) onto one of the ruined boats. You duly oblige, or let the troll paint the insignia and are justly rewarded with something hilarious daubed on the camp wall, as the quest concludes.
