You're [%username], right? I know you're good at what you do. And I hope you can be discreet.

Look at us: Everything seems under control here at Roah, right? Sure! So why are we taking casualties? I'm the laughingstock of the officer corps!

My men are sharp. No enemy has even reached these walls, not one. Yet every day, we find one or two sentries lying unconscious--if we find them at all.

"Sentries are disappearing?"

Exactly. I questioned one survivor, and she said she was attacked by a statue. Nothing else there, so she let her guard down--and boom! She's waking up hours later.

We didn't realize those 'statues' were Ancient Garcikhans, and my pluma of a predecessor didn't bother warning me about them. I'd like you to drive off the Ancient Garcikhans and protect our sentries.

Make no mistake, I'd have my troops over those of any other fortress. We've crushed the Elyos and the Balaur many times. But I equip them for large-scale battles, not guerilla fighting against statue-monsters.

Accept. Decline.

Aye, blood for blood! I like a ready volunteer.

There are many [%dic:STR_DIC_M_Ab1_1211_Gargoyle_30_An]s in the outer area of Roah Fortress. Be careful, they're more agile than you'd think.

And bring some [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_2821a]s as proof you have disposed of them. Nothing like war trophies to put the troops at ease.

"I'll find and kill them."

If you're busy with other tasks, so be it. Let the other officers talk behind my back; we have special problems here in Roah.

I could reorganize my men for skirmishes. They'd be effective against the Garcikhan...but vulnerable if the Elyos or Balaur come to call.

"Farewell."

Caught the [%dic:STR_DIC_M_Ab1_1211_Gargoyle_30_An]s, I take it? My sentries all came back safely...

Show me the proof: the [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_2821a]s.

"Here are Garcikhan Horns."

Bah! Without proof it hardly matters how many Ancient Garcikhans you slay. My guards will be too skittish to keep watch!

I'm short of men, but I'm not without resources. I'll reward you well for those [%dic:STR_DIC_I_QUEST_2821a]s.

"On my way."

Good work. I'll pass these around at the next briefing, and my troops will stop jumping at every shadow.

More to the point, the other fortress commanders won't joke any more about my "non-battle casualties."

Here's a little something...an extra supply allocation, if you like.

Destroy [%dic:STR_DIC_M_Ab1_1211_Gargoyle_30_An]s and return with proof to [%dic:STR_DIC_N_Ab1_1211_Quest_Da].

[%collectitem]

Hunt the Ancient Garcikhans that interfere with the fortress sentries. Take their horns as proof and return to Herat.

Herat was concerned about ambush attacks on sentries guarding Roah Fortress's outer wall. Ancient Garcikhans are to blame.

The soldiers in the fortress are equipped to fight soldiers, not stealthy predators, so Herat asked you to hunt the Garcikhans instead.

When you routed the Ancient Garcikhans and returned with their horns, she thanked you and said the news would improve morale at Roah Fortress.
