Level 18 · Adventuring · Renton Keep

Objectives

Stirges Slain (12) Kill stirges at the Twin Lakes northweast of Renton Keep. Return to Guard Matthews in Renton Keep when you have thinned the stirge infestation. Guard Matthews indicates they are not always present at the lakes.

Description

Matthews pauses in his patrol to say, "Before Lord Renton brought his soldiers inside the gates to defend against the giant Tharridon, I was given the task of patrolling and clearing the Twin Lakes road to Leth Nurae. I'm no longer allowed to patrol out there, but maybe you can thin the stirge population until Lord Renton allows us back outside the keep?" "I don't know why, but you don't always see stirges out there. They must go to ground and sleep at night or something."

I'm no longer allowed to patrol out there, but maybe you can thin the stirge population until Lord Renton allows us back outside the keep? I don't know why, but you don't always see stirges out there. They must go to the ground and sleep or something. Be careful, the locals call them Bloodthieves for obvious reasons.

On finishing it

Guard matthews
Lord Renton can't keep us locked in the keep forever. I'm looking forward to ending the stirge problem once and for all. By the way, you may want to talk to Jess Renton's pet fairy. She seems upset when she heard you were going out to kill the stirges.

Notes

Altered Bloothief Level 20 (Demonic, Stirge, 3 dot, aggro) are found at Nightshade, the southern "Twin Lake". I found them during the day. Clearing the area around the lake may speed up their appearance.
