You say, 'Hail, Captain Tarief
Captain Tarief says 'Well met, have you [come to aid] us in hunting the hoppers of the thicket?
You say, 'I have come to aid you
Captain Tarief says 'If you are preparing to hunt, then there are a few things you should know. Some of the hoppers have unique abilities. Knowledge of these abilities can mean the difference between life and death. I will tell you a little bit about them if you [wish to listen.]
You say, 'I wish to listen
Captain Tarief says 'A wise choice, it is good to learn all that you can of the prey before initiating the hunt. Such a tactic is vital when you set out for larger game. Learn of your prey's strengths and weaknesses and you shall have the upper hand. Saurek's may all seem similar to one another at first glance, but this is not the case. Such a mistake has left many Taruun dead. I have learned that the darkclaw saureks have venom dripping from their claws. There are a few other [unique qualities] to the saureks as well.
You say, 'What unique qualities?
Captain Tarief says 'Each of the saureks have their own unique set of scales. I am able to tell which saurek my trainees have managed to hunt successfully by the scale they return to me. Feel free to join in our lesson or the hunt. I hope that you will benefit from my advice. Hunt well Tnan.
At this point you are directed to speak to the Captain's four Trainees; Trainee Paelin, Trainee Jonkar, Trainee Naria, and Trainee Bargadin.
You say, 'Hail, Trainee Paelin'
Trainee Paelin says 'It is an honor to meet a fellow hunter. I am training to learn how to hunt down the [saurek] that roam the thicket. It is our duty as taruun to provide food for our kin. I plan on claiming captain Tarief's [reward].'
You say, 'saurek'
Trainee Paelin says 'The Saurek hoppers are far more aggressive than the needle clawed hoppers. We must hunt them down and kill them lest they attack our families and traders that wander through these thickets. They have many uses to us as well. Their meat gives us food to eat, and their hides make strong protective armor.'
You say, 'reward'
Trainee Paelin says 'Captain Tarief has offered to reward those that slay four of the saurek hoppers. You must return four of their scales to him as proof of your deeds to claim the reward. I hope to bring honor to my family by returning home with such a trophy.'
Turn in four Saurek Hopper Scales to Captain Tarief for a pair of Hunting Leather Boots.
Captain Tarief says 'What have we here? Aha! Look here everyone. Hazan has returned victorious! Well done. You are entitled to the reward for slaying the Saurek Hoppers. I hope all my trainees turn out as skilled as you. Perhaps you should consider hunting more difficult prey from now on.' Captain Tarief hands Hazan a pair of masterfully tailored hunting boots.'

You say, 'Hail, Trainee Jonkar'
Trainee Jonkar says 'Well met Hazan. Pay close attention to Captain Tarief's words of advice. It takes a skillful hunter to kill a Saurek [Darkclaw]. His advice could mean the difference between life and death.'
You say, 'Darkclaw'
Trainee Jonkar says 'The darkclaws are nasty beasts. Their claws are much thicker than the smaller saureks. Tarief has offered a reward to any that return with four of their scales to him. Don't get any ideas now. That reward is mine, I assure you.'
Turn in four Saurek Darkclaw Scales to Captain Tarief for a Hunting Leather Bracer.

You say, 'Hail, Trainee Naria'
Trainee Naria says 'Have you noticed the vicious Saurek [Shredders] out in the thicket? I wouldn't want to hunt one of those nasty things.'
You say, 'Shredders'
Trainee Naria says 'The shredder has been known tear young hunters apart in mere seconds. I would stay far away from those things if I were you. Tarief has offered a reward for any that bring him four of their scales, but I just don't think it would be worth facing such a beast in battle. The meat from the smaller ones are just as good to eat if you want my opinion.'
Turn in four Saurek Shredder Scales to Captain Tarief for some Hunting Leather Sleeves.
Captain Tarief blinks in astonishment. 'Perhaps the true shredder was you this time around Hazan' He chuckles, 'Well done, you have earned the reward.' Tarief hands Hazan a pair of masterfully tailored hunting sleeves. 'Be sure to have your battle wounds tended to. I am sure you have many scars to show from hunting those shredders.'

You say, 'Hail, Trainee Bargidin'
Trainee Bargidin says, 'Alas, I have little will to talk right now. It is a [sad time].'
You say, 'sad time'
Trainee Bargidin says, 'My good friend Torin ventured into the thicket alone a few days ago. There's been no sign of him since. I fear the [saurek deathmaws] have done him in.'
You say, 'saurek deathmaws'
Trainee Bargidin says, 'The deathmaws would be the only creature in the thicket that could possibly kill Torin. He could handle just about any other hopper, but few can survive a deathmaw attack. [Reward] or no, I vow I will someday slay those beasts... I'll kill them if it's the last thing I do.'
You say, 'Reward'
Trainee Bargidin says, 'Tarief has offered a pair of masterfully tailored leggings to anyone who can provide him with four saurek deathmaw scales. If you decide to undertake such a dangerous task, please try to find out what happened to Torin. He deserves a good burial at least.'
