Find a new task at the Mercenary Outpost. [Talk to Aodhan.]

Aodhan Listen up. Ingkells, the lord of Ortel Castle, has rewarded your courage with some fine spirits. Drink with gratitude, but never forget why we are here. Understood? Ingkells You really must learn to relax. Today is a good day! Aodhan But I know you didn't come all this way with good news, did you, sir? Ingkells We have fine drink. How could it not be a good day? Aodhan, you too. Enjoy this time between battles. Silberin I agree with Aodhan. It might be a good idea to make that your last drink before you being the meeting. Ingkells Again, Silberin? (Ceara, who had been listening their [sic] conversation, whispers to Marrec.) Ceara Marrec... Marrec Hm? Ceara He is the lord of Ortel Castle? Marrec Yes. Ceara And the skilled swordsman known as "Maelstrom"? Marrec Yes! I haven't seen him in person, but people who have say that he is unbelievable. Ceara And the deputy commander of the Royal Army? Marrec Yes. But why do you ask? Ceara How could someone that high up be so...kind? Marrec What, does he remind you of your father or something? Ceara Hm? No... (Ceara smiles at Marrec.) Marrec .... Ingkells Very well, very well. Let's hear the battle reports, then. You there, Marrec, was it? Why don't you begin? Marrec Yes, sir. The trolls I observed didn't appear normal. All of them seemed more ferocious than before. Ingkells Hm... Gwynn So, is that why you followed Riordan here? Ingkells Indeed. There have always been trolls in Hilder Forest. But only recently have they grown so aggressive. I believe they are now a threat to the safety of the castle. Aodhan But Ortel Castle itself is a stronghold, not a place that's easily attacked. Ingkells You're right. But even the biggest wildfire begins with an ember. Ingkells Now that we've recognized the change in the trolls, we can't sit here and do nothing. Aodhan But there is no reason for you to participate in this battle yourself. Ingkells You know me well... And I wanted to try Colhen's famous drink, too. So let's finish this up and have a drink. We can put this fire out before it spreads. Marrec Yes! We'll take care of it. Ingkells Haha. I like this one. Let's go find out what these trolls are up to. Aodhan Yes, sir. All right, go investigate once more. [[File:{{{npc}}} (NPC Icon).png|text-bottom|35px]] [[{{{npc}}}]] You received information on Battle: Investigation. Aodhan To defeat an enemy, you must first identify the enemy's weakness. This time, I am ordering every detail be examined. You cannot let a single troll slip away. Understood?

Find a Hilder Forest Night Shade in Battle Quest Investigation and take it to Aodhan.

Aodhan Any luck this time? What is this? [[File:{{{npc}}} (NPC Icon).png|text-bottom|35px]] [[{{{npc}}}]] Delivered [[Hilder Forest Night Shade|Hilder Forest Night Shade]] Aodhan A Night Shade? This should be in Hoarfrost Hollow. What is this doing in Hilder Forest? Are you sure? [[File:{{{npc}}} (NPC Icon).png|text-bottom|35px]] [[{{{npc}}}]] Player Selects "I'm Sure." Aodhan It's possible that those trolls had it. They could have found it somewhere else and kept it. But if there is some other reason that this was there...A thorough investigation is necessary. Ingkells But based on what we know about Night Shades, they are useless plants. Why would the trolls hold on to them? Aodhan .... Marrec .... Ingkells Something is not right. [[File:{{{npc}}} (NPC Icon).png|text-bottom|35px]] [[{{{npc}}}]] You learned the Story: Forest Shadow.
