There's been an attack on the barricades near the Imperial Army Camp. Sergeant Andoraith is in charge and needs help caring for the wounded and preparing for future attacks.

Quest text[edit]

Andoraith tells you, Seeing to the defenses will be key to withstanding another assault should one occur, <player>. There are two issues I feel we must address.

What are those?

Andoraith tells you, First, the barricade was hastily built and I worry that another attack might cause it to collapse. I need you to procure some wooden beams from the lumberyard. Speak to the lumberjack and he'll let you know what you need to do.

You said there were two issues?

Andoraith tells you, Yes, I was just getting to it. The second issue is that weapons are broken or lost during combat. If we are to be prepared for the next assault we must have quality weapons. Head back up to the camp and speak to the Quartermaster about some more spears.

Is that it?

Andoraith tells you, That will do for now, <player>. Twelve wooden beams from the lumberjack and twenty spears from the Quartermaster. Got it?


Mathoor tells you, The battle and the Welger are far away, just the way I like it. Just the birds, trees, wind and my trusty axe. What brings you up here, Paladin?

I need wooden beams for the barricade.

Mathoor tells you, Oh, oh! That is just my type of challenge. As you can see, however, I don't have any beams made nor do I have any wood ready to cut into beams. Perhaps you could collect some for me?

Gather logs?

Mathoor tells you, Exactly. But not any log. They need to be of sufficent quality to create qualitative beams. There are some Iron Oak Trees around there: cut down twelve logs from them for me and then I'll shape them into the beams you need.

Mathoor tells you, Excellent. Yes, these will be just fine. Give me some time to get them all shaped up.

Mathoor seems to have finished the wooden beams.

Mathoor tells you, Here we are, <player>. Twelve wooden beams that will be more than sufficient to reinforce the barricade. Let me know if the army needs anything else! I'm here and my axe is sharp!

You have received 12 Wooden Beam.


Bortak tells you, Welcome back, <player>. I hope the bandages were received in time, yes?

They were, thank you.

Bortak tells you, Good. What can I do for you now?

I need spears for the soldiers.

Bortak tells you, Of course you do! What would a soldier do without a trusty weapon, am I right? Spears are amongst the cheapest weapons to make and we are able to store so many of them. I have quite a few here as you can see. How many do you need?

Twenty?

Bortak tells you, Is that all? Easily done, <player>. Here you are, take them back to the Sergeant with my compliments.

You have received 20 Cheap Wooden Spear.


Andoraith tells you, Well done, <player>. You managed to get back before another attack and that is appreciated. *he inspects the spears*

Andoraith tells you, Bortak, that snake! Always cutting corners. These spears are likely to break the first time they hit anything.

What can be done about it?

Andoraith tells you, Nothing, I'm afraid. He's the quartermaster and my duty is to defend the barricade. The fools. Fortunately there are extras, we'll need them. You have my thanks, <player>.

You have received 1 Armor and Scale Tech Kit: Defender of the Army.
