This is a sacred animal. We will not leave the west bank until it is found. Come speak to us if you learn of its location.

Is that so? The cave west of Felms Ithul? It's worth investigating at least. We'll be on our way.

We'll remain here until the velk is found.

A stud animal was taken from the herd of our Lord Indoril Ilvi. The villagers charged with its care last saw it being led across the Thirr in this direction. Some ill-willed Hlaalu scheme, no doubt.

You've been expelled. I cannot discuss business with you unless you make amends.

This matter is no longer worth discussing.

With that velk dead, we're going to be innudated with Indoril protestations. This is a diplomatic headache, %PCRank. There's nothing else you can do.

First, you tell me about the Indoril scouts.

I've heard the Indorils are gone. I don't know how you've done it, but you've averted a dangerous situation here, %PCRank. You have my thanks. Here's some gold for you.

You've averted a dangerous situation here, %PCRank. Please accept both my thanks and the appreciation of Serjo Oran himself. Here's some gold, as well as a trinket appreciated by our field hands. It may be of some use to you.

It's only a matter of time before there's an altercation between these Indorils and the plantation's retainers. Tell them about the velk before a fight breaks out.

From my experience, these gangs work with outside assistance. It would be a bold smuggler to take an Indoril velk without some promised political cover. See if you can find anything else.

Let me see that. Vivec spare us from such idiocy! Dull as those Indorils may be, they brook no interference with their precious herds. Diveru risked a House War with her actions. She and I will have words. For now, return to the Indoril scouts. Tell them that one of our boatmen mentioned they saw a stray animal around Kadanuran. That should get them to leave promptly.

You found the beast in Kadanuran? I can't say I know how you've tracked it down, but I'm certainly impressed. Was there any clue as to who stole the animal?

You found the beast in Kadanuran? I can't say I know how you've tracked it down, but I'm certainly impressed. Do me a favor and kill those smugglers in Kadanuran, will you? We can't risk so much with them staying there.

It's only a matter of time before there's an altercation between these Indorils and the plantation's retainers. Find the velk beast before a fight breaks out, and return to me with a confirmation of it.

A velk? They trespass on our land for a single animal? Ridiculous, but it's true they won't leave without finding the beast. The Indoril lords are very precious around their punavit supply. My apologies, %PCRank, but you must find this animal. I have no leads for you, but I trust you'll be successful. If you find the velk or any evidence of who stole the creature, you come directly back to me, understand?

The Indorils have been driven away? Good. Report back to Ulvo Hlaari.

The velk is dead? That's terrible. Let's see what Ulvo Hlaari has to say about that.

Good find. This would have caused trouble. We just need to move these Indoril scouts along before they get nosy. Go back to them and tell them a good story, will you? Tell them that one of our boatmen mentioned they saw a stray animal around Kadanuran.

Are you certain? We can't risk any trace of our involvement here.

You've cleared the rustlers out from Kadanuran? Good. Was there anything that could trace the animal back to us?

Quickly. friend, head back to Kadanuran and make sure they can't trace the theft back to us.

Indorils? Here, near the plantation? That's not good, my friend, not good at all. If they catch the smugglers, they'll certainly trace the rustling back to us. You're going to have to go back to Kadanuran.

Indorils? Here, near the plantation? That's not good, my friend, not good at all. Let's see what Ulvo Hlaari can say about that.
