Meet me at Naram-Sin, outlander.

Are you having second thoughts, n'thil? Make haste. My patience will not last forever.

Lead, outlander. The canyon thresher awaits.

Are you ready for the hunt, outlander?

I already have one in my sights. Together, we will go to its lair in the cave named Naram-Sin west of here. We shall -- what? It's already dead? How dare you hunt on Shinathi grounds uninvited, n'thil? If this is what passes for honor in your House, I understand why my forefathers left. Begone!

The horned horrors that prey upon our kwoom herds. Defeating one is a mark of honor among my people. You are in luck, outlander -- you will be spared the trouble of tracking one down. I already have one in my sights. Together, we will go to its lair in the cave named Naram-Sin west of here. We shall see if there is some substance hiding beneath your words. I will go ahead and wait for you near the cave entrance.

Yes, it's still dead. Not much either of us can do about that.

Yes, it's still dead. Not much either of us can do about that.

It hasn't been used in a match yet. I think Felms wants to save it for something special.

Ah. It's dead? Well, our business is done here, then. Beasts that can't fight don't draw many crowds. You can go back to Narsis now. I'll be heading to the Arena shortly too.

You did well capturing that thresher. I'll bring it back to Narsis, and maybe you can go see it get fought to the death at the next Arena match sometime.

I gave you that leash. Now go deal with the thresher and keep up your end of the bargain.

You lost that leash I gave you? Well, that's a real shame, %PCClass, because I don't have another one. Go find it, and then deal with that thresher.

Forgot the leash before you went in, %PCClass? Here. I'll handle the rest of its transportation as long as you're able to drag it out.

Right. Before you go in, you'll be needing this leash so that you can actually drag that thresher out once you've weakened it enough. Just make sure to watch your back in there. These creatures are no joke.

%Name would advise you to buy a few damaging scrolls before facing down a thresher. Good for getting it weak enough to handle from a distance, before it can do the same to you.

I'd say you might want to stock up on some damaging scrolls before facing down a thresher. Get it weak enough to handle from a distance, before it can do the same to you.

You've been expelled from the Fighters Guild for breaking the rules. You'll have to make amends before I can discuss orders with you.

That wasn't your best work. Let's not discuss it for now, shall we?

You handled that assignment well. The thresher will get used in the next big show at the Arena, and the people of Shipal-Sharai will be happy that they don't have to deal with it anymore. Everyone wins.

You know, I thought that if you accidentally killed the thresher in trying to lure it out, that wouldn't be such a bad way to fail this contract. But you've apparently managed to exceed my expectations and kill the mercenary sent there to help you instead.

So you ended up killing the thresher instead of capturing it? That's unfortunate, but I suppose the people of Shipal-Sharai at least won't mind having it cleared out.

So, the thresher in Shumalkashudanit is dead? That's unfortunate, but I suppose the people of Shipal-Sharai at least won't mind having it cleared out.

I'm sure that there'll be a good show made out of it. Here's your reward, and a little extra something that the Arena saw fit to send down, in case they need you for anything like this in future.

Prepare for the fight beforehand if you like, but don't take too long about it. The Arena is always in need of new spectacles.

Canyon threshers are the most dangerous creatures in Shipal-Shin -- giant mer-eating insects that stalk the canyons and caves, and perfect for fighting in the Arena. One of them was spotted recently in the Daedric ruin of Shumalkashudanit, just off the Purple Road west of Shipal-Sharai. You don't have to deal with transportation -- the Arena's already sent one of its people for that. Just weaken the creature enough that it can be safely leashed and brought back to Narsis, and make sure not to kill it.
