I got a medium length quest from him. Sorry, don't remember the name of it.
Step 1 explore the Barracks on level 2.
Step 2 Kill 10 scaled wolf in the Field of Bone.
Step 3 Loot 4 loose scales.
Step 4 Explore the 2 underground tunnel north of the road to Cabilis.
Step 5 Deliver 4 loose scales to Karunku Trogue.
Upon turning in the scales, you get the emote "Even though the family is on their way to greener fields to look for land, your help in surveying those areas was invaluable. Sadly, without more families picking up these plots of land, any compensation for services is running a little thin. Hopefully, though, this payment will be enough to tide you over until your next bit of work."
Reward was 1 platinum, 7 gold, 1 silver, 9 copper.
