Lumberjacking on the Frontier is no easy proposition, but Andorr is hardy and determined. There's money to be made out here, the danger is just part of the challenge. But lately the Oastics in the forest have gotten out of hand and he can hardly cut a tree down before they are all over him and he is forced to flee back to the safety of the Outpost.

Quest text[edit]

Andorr tells you, 'Ello there, my friend, could you spare a moment for an old man? Been out in these parts for near a year and I've never seen it so bad. Just a moment of your time and then maybe I'll leave ye be!

Andorr tells you, You will?! Well, you'll be the first, but you have my thanks! You see, its a long way from Bristugo where I spent most of my life, but at some point in your life you have to take a chance and I decided that this was mine!

Andorr tells you, I'm a lumberjack by trade, my father was a lumberjack, and my sons are lumberjacks. Thing is, there isn't a lot of money in lumberjacking and there's lots of 'em around Dalimond and Bristugo. I should head out east to the Frontier, says I. There's money to be made on the rare trees there, especially with the danger and all.

Andorr tells you, So, I left Bristugo and headed out here. Oh, I've made a good chunk of change, to be sure, but then the Oastics showed up! Don't know where they came from, but they are fierce and territorial and every time I start to chop a tree there they are. Sent me running back here to the safety of the Outpost many a time, they did.

Andorr tells you, And that's where you come in, my friend. You see, I figure one of the Gifted can surely deal with Oastics! They're just walking bushes, after all. Could you do that for me, then? Deal with the Oastics, <player>? Ten, no twelve, of them should suffice and give them a taste of cold steel or perhaps singe their leaves!

You've killed sufficient oastics to satisfy Andorr!.

Andorr tells you, You make an old man happy, <player>! I saw those blasted bushes scuttling for the hills from here. It was a sight to make me weep, to be sure! I suspect, at least for a time, the forest will be safer for the likes of me and my axe. You have my thanks!
