Notes

Read by OCR from the screenshots on the quest's page, because the original records this quest only as pictures. Transcribed automatically, so treat the wording as approximate. The source recorded the finishing NPC as “when they fee they”, which is a fragment of a sentence rather than a name -- its scraper cut the objective text mid-phrase. The field is left empty rather than filled with something that is not a name.

Another account

A second source described this quest differently. Both are kept here; neither is a correction of the other.
