— In-game description

Steps

Journal

  • Wheiskaet would first like to verify that you are not a complete fraud.
  • Before he bothers giving you a truly demanding task, Wheiskaet would first have you attend to a simple one. Place the herring he has given you on an eastern cape near Costa del Sol to lure out the nix that has been seen in the vicinity.
  • Having baited the trap with your herring, all that remains is to wait for and slay the nix that comes forth to claim it.
  • You dispatch the slimy creature with great fanfare and sever one of its legs as proof of your kill. Show Wheiskaet that the deed is done.
  • Wheiskaet explains that a recent incident with a former employee has forced him to treat strangers with greater caution. Having proven yourself to be nothing like that other poor, unfortunate soul, he is now willing to give you a challenge as befits your talents.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Wheiskaet: Master Gegeruju's requests can be more demanding than you realize. Before I set you to your true task, I would like to verify that this won't be a waste of my time.
Wheiskaet: A nix has recently been seen prowling the beach to the east. As you can imagine, my master does not want large slimy creatures anywhere near his lands.
Wheiskaet: The beast is cunning, but you should have no difficulty luring it out with herring.
Wheiskaet: Slay the nix and return to me. Oh, and don't forget to bring me a leg as proof of the kill.

Ripples in the water catch your eye...

Delivering the Nix leg to Wheiskaet

Wheiskaet: Well? Did you deal with the nix?
<hand over nix leg>
Wheiskaet: Lest you think me overly cautious for testing you in this way, you should know that we had an incident not long ago. A foolish young employee was dismissed for lying about his past. He claimed to have served in the Company of Heroes, but I knew for a fact he did not.
Wheiskaet: Anyway, now that the pointless busywork is finished, I shall give you a challenge as befits your talents.
