You say, 'Hail, Marshal Lanena'

Marshal Lanena says, 'Hello, Elina. I am Lanena Wickystick, marshal of all Vale concerns. If there are any troubles brewing in our fine town which concern the Guardians of the Vale, please inform me. You must be a [new deputy] or are you an [outsider]?'

You say, 'new deputy'

Marshal Lanena says, 'It is good to see such fine stock in the ranks of the Guardians. Being new, there is much to learn, in battle and in life itself. If you are not presently obligated, we have need of you here in the hollow. There seems to be a [small problem].'

You say, 'small problem'

Marshal Lanena says, 'For months, Fiddy Bobick has petitioned the marshals to assist him with a problem he has. With the addition of new deputies such as yourself, we can now give him the assistance he requires. Just go down to Bobick's shop near the lake. Tell him I sent you.'

You say, 'Hail, Fiddy Bobick'

Fiddy Bobick says, 'Ahoy, mate! The name's Fiddy Bobick! Perhaps you've heard of me... the greatest halfling to sail the seas of Norrath? I have been to the North, South, East and West, and thank Prexus, I have survived it all! Why I have returned to this little hollow is a wonder to me. Obviously, the salty air finally got to my brain!'

You say, 'Lanena sent me'

Fiddy Bobick says, 'Well, it's about blasted time! The ship was about to sink. Wickystick finally managed to send the troops in! The problem, mate, is piranha ! What?! That's what I said. Piranha! The lake is infested with the little buggers. More and more every sunrise. They're chomping down all our food supply. You have gotta get your can in the drink and kill them. Take one of their teeth to old Wickystick and see what she has to say about Fiddy then! I will also give you some booty for any teeth you pull out of this river. Well, get going, Deputy Elina!'

Jump in to the lake and start killing piranhas (be careful as they tend to come in pairs - and keep an eye on your air meter). Kill the trout to get large piranha to spawn, be careful as Chomper may also spawn!

Upon turn-in of 1 piranha tooth at least dubious faction, Fiddy Bobick says, 'Whew! We are sure on the way to saving this village, pal! They're gonna erect a statue in our names. Fishslayers is what we are! Let's keep up the good work!'

You may also bring a tooth back to Marshall Lanena to prove that Fiddy is not crazy.

For now we must collect more. Take this bag. Collect enough teeth to fill the bag. Don't worry, if it takes a while I shall reward you with the [Rantho Rapier]. We will need to examine the teeth.'

With its light weight and special two-hand hilt, it becomes a formidable weapon in the hands of our younger deputies. Only a [new deputy] has the right to earn one.'

handing a pirahna tooth to Marshal Lanena doesn't work at indifferent, must need amiable+

You can give the Piranha Tooth to Fiddy Bobick at dubious, which is actually scowling but dubious because he is a merchant. My Ogre war is KOS to deep pockets and the priest of Mischief. Until I did the Wall Squad Ring (quest version), I was ally with guardians of the vale. Now I am high amiable because you get a -1000 hit. It should give +1000 to Priests of Mischief, but there does not appear to e any way to improve this faction to reach the point you can turn in the supplies.
I was able to complete all steps of the quest today

I confirmed what Bijou says below. The quest doesn't seem to work the same way anymore. And you don't get the rapier or the piranha bag.

My experience was like this:

You say, 'Hail, Marshal Lanena.'

Marshal Lanena says 'Hello, Babangida. I am Lanena Wickystick, marshal of all Vale concerns. If there are any troubles brewing in our fine town which concern the Guardians of the Vale, please inform me. You must be a [new deputy] or are you an [outsider]?'

You say, 'I am a new deputy.'

Marshal Lanena says 'It is good to see such fine stock in the ranks of the Guardians. Being new, there is much to learn, in battle and in life itself. If you are not presently obligated, we have need of you here in the hollow. There seems to be a [small problem].'

You say, 'What small problem?'

Marshal Lanena says 'For months, Fiddy Bobick has petitioned the marshals to assist him with a problem he has. With the addition of new deputies such as yourself, we can now give him the assistance he requires. Just go down to Bobick's shop near the lake. Tell him I sent you.'

***

Fiddy Bobick says 'When will Wickystick send help?!'

You say, 'Lanena sent me.'

Fiddy Bobick says 'Well, it's about blasted time! The ship was about to sink. Wickystick finally managed to send the troops in! The problem, mate, is piranha ! What?! That's what I said. Piranha! The lake is infested with the little buggers. More and more every sunrise. They're chomping down all our food supply. You have gotta get your can in the drink and kill them. Take one of their teeth to old Wickystick and see what she has to say about Fiddy then! I will also give you some booty for any teeth you pull out of this river. Well, get going, Deputy Babangida!'

For each turn-in of a piranha tooth, this happens:

Fiddy Bobick says 'Whew! We are sure on the way to saving this village, pal! They're gonna erect a statue in our names. Fishslayers is what we are! Let's keep up the good work!'

I updated the faction hits... did you give a tooth to Marshal Lanena?

This looks to be one of those quests that were put in the database as 1 when it is kind of 2 that crossover (or at least was).

Looks good.

This looks like a good quest to do, get some gold, and raise your faction. How much does the rapier sell for? I'm a druid and I don't get 2HS.
Rangers can do this quest also
# Jun 27 2003 at 10:21 PM Rating: Decent
My Halfling Ranger was able to do this quest as well, accomplishing it in a little over twenty minutes (spent a lot of time running around in circles waiting for the piranhas to respawn). I think I'll try the "fishing with dynamite" method mentioned by the anonymous poster. Sounds like fun.

this fish killed me when i just happened to fall into the water.....after comeing back to sell after takeing lumberjacks.i exacted punishment on the fish and discovered a nifty bag....gave my rogue a nice itm.

Nice delay
# May 26 2002 at 8:25 PM Rating: Default
I have to say as a training weapon this is nice. 2HS is usually so hard to raise because of the horrendous delay limiting the number of swipes you can take at a mob during a fight, but the delay on this thing makes it great for disrupting casters even if it won't hurt them very much, but then kick and bash don't hurt very much until much later when the skill is high and you have some ******* stuff in your shield and boot slots.
Funny as hell
# May 26 2002 at 5:14 PM Rating: Default
This quest is so funny it makes me cry. I was in the water with my 12 Dru waiting for the pirahnas to pop and decided to engage in the RV equivalent of fishing with dynamite by nuking all the poor little trout with my burst of fire. I got the pirahnas to spawn, nuked them with Ignite, got Chomper to spawn a couple times and nuked him. I was also using Enduring Breath so I could sit on the bottom of the lake and med. Anyway, I was able to do the rogue ruby quest for killing Chomper, got tons of pirahna teeth and have enough Rivervale trout and fresh fish to feed Africa. I also got a helluva lotta fish scales to keep my Enduring Breath ready for action. Fun as hell. I recommend you try it sometime.
Rapiers are SUPPOSED to be piercing weps

Every rapier I ever saw was a piercing wep. This must be an error that slipped by everyone at VI.

2HS for rogues
# Feb 17 2002 at 5:46 PM Rating: Decent
A rogue can use the ratho rapier, but since they have NO skill in it, your attack factor is WORSENED. My attack factor (for a low level rogue) was 75 barehanded, it dropped to 71 if I used the rantho rapier. It is a better newbie weapon for warriors wanting to work on 2HS (which they can improve upon).

Oh, the pirahna are there... just stick around the docks and 2 will soon show up. You may want to kill some of the trout while you are waiting as this always seems to bring em around.

For those wantin to know... the easiest exit from lake is to the left of the docks in the corner.

Luck to ye! in good huntin!

this quest isn't that difficult to do, except, I could never find a way out of the lake, I kept trying to jump up onto the docks and everything but it didn't work. I must have killed at least a dozen or so pirhanas before I was able to find a way out. It was very tedious swimming around, but I did get a LOT of money :)
