I saw something disturbing in the <font color='#660000'>Howling Vale</font>. Two creatures of the same species fought each other and the victor ate the flesh of the loser.<BR><BR>This is not normal behavior and may be worth investigating.<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"What could we do?"</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Our magic may shed light on this phenomenon. Hunt the {@LinkCreature:21#4#brutal orisks} and collect samples from them.<BR><BR>Bring them back and we'll see if we can find what drove them to such unusual behavior. I hope this wasn't too taxing. The desert is vast and dangerous.<BR><BR>You have the samples? Let me see them. Stand back, now. This could get a bit messy.<BR><BR>By the gods! The scent in these samples almost overwhelmed me!
