Lore & Dialog
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "More monsters rising up out of the sea? Now they're all over the place! I know they're looking for me. Darned sea monsters, they're always after me lucky stout!"

The woman grinned and bowed with exaggerated deference. "We managed to bring this one down alive, Master. As you told us, it is different from the other Moarsmen that we're most familiar with, but it does seem, in its powers and its inclinations and its… smell… to be similar to the new colonies of these creatures that have appeared on shores around Dereth. First near Ayan Baqur, then Mayoi, and – "

Francisco the Hunter tells you, "Hail, traveler. Do you want to know something?" Francisco the Hunter tells you, "There's moarsmen down on that beach - yes, moarsmen, even in this cold!" Francisco the Hunter tells you, "They're unnatural, these moarsmen are. I've seen a bit in my time." Francisco the Hunter tells you, "I'm sure the captain of this outpost wouldn't complain if you went and wiped out the population of that den of moarsmen. Eventually those things are going to get hostile and attack us up here."

You give Francisco the Hunter Huge Tainted Egg. Francisco the Hunter tells you, "So this is the egg of one of those things. See how it is corrupted, as compared to a normal moarsman egg.  Whatever's driving the moarsmen to shore is not benevolent." You've earned 28,092,330 experience. (Level 275)

Guard Taizo tells you, "Traveler - would you kindly help us with a problem we are having?" Guard Taizo tells you, "Down on the beach, hostile moarsmen have created their own little fort." Guard Taizo tells you, "If you would go and destroy the inhabitants, it would help the town greatly"

You give Guard Taizo Small Tainted Egg. Guard Taizo tells you, "You have found an egg within the keep? Return to me in the span of a week - I would expect for things to resume being dangerous then." You've earned 1,190,826 experience. (Level 275)

Guard Taizo tells you, "I have no more news about threats from moarsmen. Embody patience - I am sure that at some point the attacks will resume."

Guard Bey tells you, "Would you like to do us a favor, sir? There is a fortress of moarsmen down near the festival stone. I think they may potentially pose a threat to the town, unless we strike first. If you find anything of interest there, come back and give it to me."

You give Guard Bey Extra Large Tainted Egg. Guard Bey tells you, "I see that the evil continues to spawn. We may need you in a week - come back then, if you are willing to fight these things off once more." You've earned 20,648,005 experience. (Level 275)

Marcus Danby tells you, "Warrior - come and help us out!" Marcus Danby tells you, "We've got a problem with moarsmen on the beach! They've started building a little coral outpost, and we don't have the manpower to drive them off." Marcus Danby tells you, "Can you wipe out their little holding?"

You give Marcus Danby Medium Tainted Egg. Marcus Danby tells you, "An egg? They're hatching more of these fish-things? Dad's not going to be happy about this..." You've earned 4,602,097 experience.

Marcus Danby tells you, "There's no more moarsmen attacking the outpost for now. Thank you!"

Guard Al'Zira tells you, "Greetings, valiant one.  I would defend this place from harm, but this fort is far from reinforcements, and I cannot leave to fight the monsters upon the beach.  Destroy them and bring me a token of your victory."

You give Guard Al'Zira Large Tainted Egg. Guard Al'Zira tells you, "An egg has been found within the keep?  I shall remain vigilant, then, though for now the threat is lessened.  Thank you.  Come back in a week - we may have need of your services again." You've earned 11,876,313 experience. (Level 236)

Guard Al'Zira tells you, "Greetings, valiant one. Relative peace currently reigns over this place."

Guard Liaza tells you, "Greetings, traveler.  Do you think you could help with a problem we're having?" Guard Liaza tells you, "Recently, moarsmen have started coming from the ocean and raiding Redspire.  I've never seen them be so organized before." Guard Liaza tells you, "They have built a fortification down in the mud flats.  They must be driven back before they threaten Redspire and its people.  Slay the moarsmen and bring back a token of your victory."

You give Guard Liaza Tiny Tainted Egg. Guard Liaza tells you, "The moarsmen are laying eggs?  That's omnious.  It sounds like we may need your help removing this infestation again, perhaps in a week.  In the meantime, though, congratulations on your fine work." You've earned 235,000 experience.

Guard Liaza tells you, "All is relatively quiet on this front.  Keep up the good work!"
