You say, 'Hail, Hager Sureshot'

Hager Sureshot says 'Greetings, ______. Feel free to rest here in Surefall Glade. Just be sure you do no hunting whilst here. If so, then you shall pay the punishment of death. I trust you [will abide by the laws]?'

You say, 'I will abide by the laws.'

Hager Sureshot says 'That is wise. Your health, for now, is assured. A plague of hunters has infested our land heavily in recent weeks. The word is out that [Mammoth] still lives. Hunters have flocked here in search of a trophy or profit and glory. Instead, they find the deadly accuracy of my arrows.'

You say, 'Who is Mammoth?'

Hager Sureshot says 'Mammoth is the great bear of the caves. [Tunare] has blessed our home with Mammoth's presence. It is said that when the great bear dies, so too shall the Jaggedpine. He would be quite a trophy to some hunter. And quite profitable to a poacher. Even the infamous [Talym Shoontar] has tried his hand at the hunt.'

You say, 'Who is Talym Shoontar?'

Hager Sureshot says 'Talym Shoontar is a poacher. He has eluded us for quite some time. He has organized parties of poachers to plague our forest as well as others. He hails from Halas, but I have heard he now calls the Plains of Karana home. I have placed a bounty upon his head. Do you [wish to collect the bounty]?'

You say, 'I wish to collect the bounty.'

Hager Sureshot says 'That's the spirit!! Spoken like a true Protector of the Pine! Last I heard, Talym Shoontar was hunting in the Plains of Karana. He has also been spotted running to and from Qeynos. No doubt he is selling hides to some merchant. End his life of hunting. Bring me his head to collect the bounty.'

Talym Shoontar appears in Qeynos Hills by the West Karana border and heads down the road toward Qeynos, pathing past the guard tower. If attacked in Qeynos Hills, the guards will assist him and attack you. Shoontar will also appear in Freeport at the docks, in place of the dwarf you give the Tumpy Tonics. When he appears here, he is often killed by someone wanting to force the dwarf to spawn, so you can sometimes loot his corpse by asking the person who killed him for the head (called a barbarian head). He appears in Surefall as well.

Hand in the head:


Hager Sureshot says 'His days of hunting are over. In the name of the Protectors of the Pine, I offer you this reward. If you are unable to make use of it, you may sell it. I suggest you hold onto it. If you are a ranger it will come in handy.'

Anyone have a clue about what the shield might do in the future?
One more Rant

Do not do this quest. It is an utter waste of time. First off, I did it at 18. Could have earlier, but Guard Nash was always there to thwart any attempt. Talym, when I conned him, considered me kindly. That should have been my first clue. To say I was shocked when I got a wooden shield would be a big understatement. Leave Talym alone. Do another quest. It's not worth the time, or the faction hits.

I got a quiver which was worth 1+pp, but still, this one does indeed suck.
THIS SUCKS!!!

This guy is so hard to find that the only real way to find him is to come upon him by chance, when I did I killed him, he was blue to me at 16 and he almost beat me. I expected to get a great weapon or some armor, when I turned in his head I got a RUSTY LONGSWORD!!!!! and no money, no noticable exp and some faction.
Not Worth it

I killed this guy at level 16 as a druid, he conned dangerus blue to me and wasn't too hard to kite. I went back to surefall to turn in his head expecting some nice item, or perhaps some nice cash, yet to my dismay I recived a rusty spear and a few copper. If you see him, kill him and give his head to hager. Other than that don't try to camp this guy of anything, not worth it.

He also appears in the tavern on the docks of East Freeport. I hailed him and he told me to tell Hagar Sureshot he said hello.
