Quest text[edit]
Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me! I mean no harm!
- All right, beast. Calm down. I won't hurt you.
Beast? Oh... I guess my hideous appearance isn't very trustworthy. Please... don't call me a beast...I have a name... I am Balit.
- Balit, hey? What are you doing here Balit? And why are you hiding?
As you can see, the surroundings aren't very... safe. So I prefer to hide when I can.
- You may not be a beast, but you are still a werewolf, aren't you? Why would you be afraid of other werewolves?
They aren't like me... these ARE beasts, mindless beasts! They would notice I am not like them and they would rip me apart! This is not a pleasant experience.
- Oh, I can relate...
Are you Gifted? Yes... only Gifted can survive here. Maybe you are the one I was waiting for... could you help me? ... please?
- Help you? What do you need?
Speak with Balit
You see, a companion of mine, Allot, was also marooned on this island. But I have not seen him since the first day we arrived! I fear he may have been killed... or worse, turned into a werewolf. Please, search the island for any sign of him and then return here when you are done. Be sure and search each side of the island!
Search for signs of Allot on Balit's Island
Game Feedback: You have found no sign of Allot. Return to Balit with bad news.
Search the northern tip of the island
Game Feedback: You find nothing of consequence here.
Search the western side of the island
Game Feedback: You find nothing of consequence here.
Search the southern tip of the island
Game Feedback: You find nothing of consequence here.
Search the eastern side of the island
Game Feedback: You find nothing of consequence here.
You have returned, <player>. Have you found anything?
- I am sorry Balit. I couldn't find any clue about your friend.
You found no sign of a body? And no sign of him as a werewolf? That is most unfortunate, <player>, most distressing... I was positive he made it off the ship with me... Oh! Perhaps he escaped to another island or the mainland... Yes, that must be it.
Return to speak with Balit after searching the island
If I remember correctly, there was another island just to the north east of this one. This is a dangerous place: a larger and meaner werewolf than the others roams around there. But I believe the water there is shallow enough to cross... and werewolves hate water! I know that all too well. Perhaps Allot crossed the water and made it to safety. Go, <player>, and search the island to the north east, discover my friend's fate!
Search the island that is just off the northeastern tip of Balit's Island. Try to avoid the larger werewolf, but if he attacks you, Balit suggested that werewolves don't like water, so you can dive in to avoid him. Look among the rocks on the small island for Balit's companion.
Game Feedback: On the ground before you lies a skeleton, a few tattered remains of clothing still clinging to the bones. Near one out-stretched hand, you see a ragged book of some sort.
Ah, you have returned! Did you discover Allot's fate?
- Yes, Balit. I'm sorry, but I found his skeleton.
You did? His skeleton? Are you sure it was him?
- I have found a journal with his name written on it.
Return to Balit with news of his companion's fate. Be sure to give Balit the journal you found so that he will know what happened to his friend.
You found his journal? This is a sad day indeed, but a fortunate one. Finding his journal means that his research notes were not lost! Thank you kindly for returning this to me. Here, please accept this coin as a reward. It is not much, but it is what I had on me when I was marooned here. I have no use for it now.
