Sharia Arnote
Quest Offering Sharia says, “I am quite impressed that you managed to actually talk to one of those demented criminals. How did you get a word out of them?” You shrug and say, “I suppose I just related to her.” Sharia chuckles and says, “Related! Right. Well, anyway. Now that we know the secret, we need the spit. Moeden has a tame cobra... Maybe he would let us have some!” She smiles at you and says, “If you can bring me some, I’ll let you borrow the apparatus and see for yourself that it works.” Moeden Ullah You say, “Moeden, what a lovely... cobra.” Moeden, what a lovely... cobra.” Moeden smiles deeply and says, “Thank you, High Elf.” “May I ask how you came to tame it?” you ask. Moeden shakes his head and says, “I did not tame it.” “You didn’t tame it?” you ask. “Then how does it sit by so peacefully?” “I was lost in the desert for many days,” he says, “I passed out for lack of water. When I woke up, Rek here was staring me in the eyes.” “That must have been startling,” you say. “I did not show any sudden movement,” says Moeden. “Knowing the danger of startling a cobra.” “I noticed then that a cone was sticking through his body,” he says, “and I knew I was in no danger.” “I took Rek here up by the jaws so he couldn’t bite, plucked out the bone, and got on my way,” he says. “So how did you and Rek cross paths again?” you ask. “He followed me,” says Moeden. “Bit a bandit one night that was about to slit my throat. We’ve been inseparable ever since.” You nod and say, “I suppose you know then that cobras and scorpions are natural enemies.” Moeden nods and says, “I do. Rek doesn’t tolerate them for one moment.” “Sharia is building a device to control and exterminate them,” you say, “and apparently cobra spit attracts them. It is the missing piece to her device. Would Rek mind contributing?” “He would not, and I would not,” says Moeden. “Take it.” Sharia Arnote You say, “Sharia, here is the spit.” “You have it?” she asks. “Good work!” “Was he very hard to get it from?” Sharia asks curiously. “No, he was rather cordial,” you say. “Seemed eager to help.” “I meant the cobra,” she says with a grin. “Ah, no, Moeden has a peculiar bond with it...” you say. “It opened up wide for him.” Sharia nods and grimaces. “I cannot say that cobras please me much more than scorpions,” she says, “but they are just slightly better.” You nod and say, “Well, they have a bond formed from... understandable circumstances.” “Though whether the story came from a dehydrated crawl through the desert, I couldn’t say,” you say. Sharia nods and says, “Well, no matter, we have these now!” She stares at the bottle delightedly and says, “Now you will see how this is done...” Quest Completion Markke turns the device over in her hands and says, "So this is it?" Markke grins and says, "Good work. Now it's time to show Brenlon not to harm scorpions..."
