Supply Run
Help a local merchant deliver supplies to his hunting camps.
Area	Goal		Quests & Cinematics
Zook Timbers:	Greetings adventurers! The name is Zook Timbers! I run Strakeln & Timbers General Goods and Curious Oddities! Perhaps you have heard of us? No? No matter, I have a very easy job for you, barely a job at all really, a simple delivery. Might you be interested?
Bruenor:	If'n it be so easy why not do it yerself? Whaddya need us fer?
Zook Timbers:	Well it requires some travel out to my hunting camps in the forest and mountains to the southeast, just across the Dessarin River. There may be wolves, and perhaps bears, and you might get your feet wet... I'm more of an indoor gnome if you know what I mean...
Bruenor:	Aye, aye, I get it! I get it. Doesn't seem like somethin' we'd be inta.
Zook Timbers:	Did I mention it pays well?
Celeste:	Well... we could use the extra coin after our recent trips abroad.
Bruenor:	*grumbles* Well then, gnome, looks like ya got yerself some runners.
Zook Timbers:	Perfect! My supply wagon is on the other side of the ward. Oh, and see if you can't find my partner Amber. She hates it when I check in on her, but she's more than a week overdue.
1	Defeat 25 Monsters		A very excitable Waterdhavian gnome has hired you to run some supplies for him. The supplies are on the opposite end of the Field Ward from where you are now... of course.
2	Defeat 25 Monsters		Watch for thieves. And rats. But mostly thieves. Maybe thieving rats. Or ratting thieves.
3	Collect 25 Stolen Coin Pouches		The thieves are dropping stolen pouches. Collect them to turn in to Waterdeep's Guard so they can find their rightful owners.
4	Defeat 25 Monsters		The supplies are up ahead. Try and work your way past the thieves.
5	Defeat the Rakish Thief		The Rakish Thief is eyeing the supply wagon! Protect it!
Celeste:	These look to be the supplies.
Bruenor:	Aye. Let's gather 'em up and be on with it.
6	Defeat 25 Monsters		With the supplies in tow, head toward the southeastern forest.
7	Defeat 25 Monsters		This part of the mountain road south of Waterdeep is known for its wolves. Keep an eye out.
8	Collect 25 Animal Pelts		Might as well collect some animal pelts. Zook might offer a good price for them.
9	Defeat 25 Monsters		The roadway shifts, leading into the forest. You can see the top of a tower up ahead.
Celeste:	That bear seems really interested in the tower up ahead.
Nayeli:	So it is. Let's find out why.
10	Defeat the Grizzly Bear		Defeat the grizzly bear and find out what has it so interested in the tower.
Hunter:	Thank goodness you came along. I have been hiding in here for days! I got separated from my hunting party when we were attacked by that grizzly!
Celeste:	We are looking for hunters working for Zook Timbers, are you perhaps one of them?
Hunter:	Yes, yes I am. Myself and three others are working a camp nearby. They didn't come back for me after the bear attacked though... I fear the worst.
Celeste:	We understand. We'll head for the camp and find out what happened.
11	Defeat 25 Monsters		A hunter trapped by the grizzly asked you to check on his comrades in the first of Zook's camps. It's about an hour's journey down the trail.
12	Defeat 25 Monsters		Wolves and bears. The hunters must have plenty of work out here.
13	Defeat 25 Monsters		The first hunters' camp isn't far now.
Bruenor:	It doesn't look like anyone has been here fer days.
Nayeli:	Agreed, but it's getting dark. I suggest we use this camp to bed down for the night. We can search more in the morning.
Jarlaxle:	Oh good. Another night under the stars listening to Bruenor's snoring. It sounds like a lumberjack's saw trying to work through sheet steel.
Bruenor:	Oi!
14	Collect 25 Firewood		The hunting camp at last! It seems empty. Might as well gather firewood and use the camp for the night.
15	Defeat the Dire Wolf		A large and vicious dire wolf emerges from the forest!
Bruenor:	Bloody dire wolf!
Celeste:	You don't think they got eaten...
Nayeli:	We can contemplate the fate of others after we secure our own survival!
Nayeli:	Look on the ground! Someone or something was dragged through here!
Celeste:	Do you think it's our missing hunters?
Nayeli:	Marks are the right size, I think it might be.
16	Defeat 25 Monsters		The trail has the distinct markings of something or someone being dragged along it.
17	Defeat 25 Monsters		The trail seems to follow the river. At least it's easy to traverse.
18	Collect 25 Flower Blossoms		The local flowers are known for making good tea. Collect some.
19	Defeat 25 Monsters		You might admire the beauty of the grove were it not for the protective pixies! Knock them out.
Nayeli:	The tracks end at that tree... I think we found our missing hunters!
Hunter:	Cut us free! Quickly before the pixies come back!
20	Defeat the Rabbit Riding Pixie Leader		A pixie riding a rabbit... and you thought you had seen everything!
Bruenor:	A pixie ridin' a bloody rabbit...
Hunter:	Thank you for saving us!
Celeste:	What happened? How did you get here?
Hunter:	Our camp was set upon by angry forest creatures and one of our number was chased away by a grizzly. Embarrassingly, we were caught by one of our own rope snares in the chaos! The pixies cut us down and dragged us here. Who knows what they had planned for us if you hadn't come along.
Celeste:	They most likely would have painted your faces and driven you away. Your hunting partner is in good health and should be back at your camp by now. You need to be more careful. And respectful.
Bruenor:	Aye, more careful indeed. Now take these supplies, I'm done with haulin' 'em about.
Celeste:	Okay, so according to the hunters, the next camp is in a temple up ahead.
Bruenor:	Aye, let's be movin' then.
21	Defeat 25 Monsters		Follow the stone ruins toward the second hunter camp set in the ruins of an old temple.
22	Defeat 25 Monsters		You can't help but be amazed at how much wildlife there is in this small forest.
23	Defeat 25 Monsters		Broken stone ruins are becoming more frequent. You must be getting close.
24	Collect 25 Torches		Collect some torches and prepare to enter the temple.
25	Defeat the Angry Boar		An angry boar stands between you and the temple.
Nayeli:	Hey Jarlaxle, in that fight, did I seem wooden to you?
Jarlaxle:	Not really, no. You moved like you always do. Why, do you feel stiff?
Nayeli:	No. Just boar-ed.
Jarlaxle:	Oh, I hate you so much.
26	Defeat 25 Monsters		The temple entrance reeks of wet dog. Weren't the hunters supposed to be in here?
27	Collect 25 Steaks		It's time you had something to eat. The gnolls have collected some fresh meat.
Bruenor:	I'm not about ta let perfectly good steak go ta waste!
Jarlaxle:	How sure are you that that's animal meat? These are gnolls after all. Far be it for me to stop you, but something to consider.
Bruenor:	Ye really like ta just ruin everythin' don't ya?
Jarlaxle:	I do try to stick to my strengths.
28	Defeat 25 Monsters		With so many gnolls you begin to wonder if the hunters are here at all.
Celeste:	What is going on here? Equipment everywhere and no hunters to be found.
Nayeli:	Looks like they left in a hurry. Apparently it's been a really good week for Zook's hunting teams.
Jarlaxle:	Sarcasm, Nayeli? I'm impressed.
Celeste:	His partner Amber is out here somewhere too. Maybe if we find her she can shed some light on what is going on.
29	Defeat 25 Monsters		Supplies and equipment are still laid out. Looks like whoever was here left in a hurry.
30	Defeat the Gnoll Leader		The priest quarters of this old temple seem the obvious choice for the pack leader. Watch out!
Bruenor:	Have I mentioned me fondness fer swamps lately?
Jarlaxle:	You're just nervous because if you fall in we may never see you again.
Bruenor:	That's enough outta ye! Unless ye fancy a swim!
31	Defeat 25 Monsters		You emerge out of the temple and into a swamp. Who knew there was a swamp here!?
32	Defeat 25 Monsters		Careful of the will-o'-wisps, their friendly glow has lead many to their death.
33	Defeat 25 Monsters		Watch your step! A gibbering mouther can take your foot clean off.
Celeste:	This looks like the next camp...
Bruenor:	Aye, and it be bloody abandoned like all the rest! I'm sensin' a pattern.
34	Collect 25 Camp Gear		The camp seems abandoned. Gather the remaining gear.
35	Defeat the Powerful Will-o'-Wisp		A large glowing will-o'-wisp rises from the swamp!
Bruenor:	Not gonna fall fer it, ye wisp! Not gonna happen.
Bruenor:	Bloody swamp is gettin' deeper!
Celeste:	On the bright side the next camp is in those mountains to the south.
Bruenor:	Aye, but there be a lot o' swampland between here an' there.
36	Defeat 25 Monsters		More treacherous swamp separates you from the mountains ahead.
37	Collect 25 Wood Woad Bark Samples		Wood woad bark is a curious oddity. Collect some!
38	Defeat 25 Monsters		The swamp is beginning to clear up. It can't be much further to dry land.
39	Defeat 25 Monsters		Seriously it really can't be that much further.
40	Defeat the Gibbering Mouther		The air is filled with the nonsense words of a thousand mouths, greater and more terrible than you've ever heard. Strike the abomination down so it may speak no longer.
Bruenor:	Was tha' one bigger than the one in the Mere of Dead Men?
Celeste:	Let's just get out of here before we come face to faces with another one. I have had enough repeats!
Nayeli:	Ah, fresh mountain air!
Bruenor:	Aye, the mountains do feel safer than the swamp.
Celeste:	Anyone else having déjà vu?
Jarlaxle:	Constantly. I try not to think about it.
41	Defeat 25 Monsters		Finally! Solid ground!
42	Defeat 25 Monsters		Follow the mountain trail upward. The final camp should be just ahead.
Celeste:	Finally the last camp!
Bruenor:	Indeed! And I think that is the dwarf we've been lookin' fer!
43	Defeat 25 Monsters		The camp is ransacked and overrun with animals!
Amber Strakeln:	Even though I had it completely under control, I suppose I should thank ye fer yer assistance. I assume Zook sent ye?
Celeste:	You must be Amber. Yes, he did. Zook is worried about you.
Amber Strakeln:	And his next shipment of skins no doubt! Well ye've come at a good time, seems it's been nothin' but one bad thing after the next lately!
Celeste:	Where is the rest of your hunting party?
Amber Strakeln:	*sigh* Got themselves captured by goblins they did! We use tha mine fer storage. Goblins took a likin' to it while we were away. Set some traps... I was the only one who didn' get caught. Could use some help rescuing em!
44	Collect 25 Miner's Lanterns		You better collect some lanterns if you're going into the mine.
45	Defeat the Owlbear		An enormous owlbear charges out of the mine entrance!
Celeste:	An owlbear! I wonder what it was doing here. Perhaps the goblins allied with it?
Nayeli:	*Whoo* knows.
Celeste:	Heh.
Jarlaxle:	Don't encourage her!
46	Defeat 25 Monsters		You follow the tunnel into the mine.
47	Defeat 25 Monsters		The goblins seem to be having trouble with the mountain wildlife. Take advantage of the chaos.
48	Defeat 25 Monsters		You can see the flicker of cook fires up ahead!
Amber Strakeln:	They have me hunters locked up ahead. The goblins must have the keys...
Bruenor:	Aye, but not fer long.
49	Collect 25 Prison Cell Keys		Chop down the goblin guards and gather keys to free the hunters.
50	Defeat the Goblin Warleader		Defeat the Goblin War Leader so you can free the captured hunters.
Amber Strakeln:	That takes care of that... now we can finish our hunt and get our shipment back to the shop.
Celeste:	May this mark the end of your bad luck.
Bruenor:	Well, I figure tha's the end o' tha'. We best be off to collect our coin from Zook. Best o' luck to ye'
Amber Strakeln:	It's been an honor ta fight alongside ye, Battlehammer. An honor.
