Objectives
- Slay morbols 0/3
- Report to Aganbold

Journal
- Aganbold insists that in order to be recognized as an adventurer at Revenant's Toll, you must pass the test. This is news to you, but since your schedule allows it, go west into the Tangle and slay three morbols.
- The ill-tempered seedkin are dead and Eorzea is better for it. Speak with Aganbold, who will no doubt be satisfied, and cease holding forth in a manner most theatrical.
- Your hopes are dashed. If anything, Aganbold grows louder and more florid as he declares that you must ow slay the mortal enemy of Revenant's Toll. Lurk at the ambush point and slay this Morbolger when it appears.
- The Morbolger is dead, as is possibly your sense of smell. Lest your sensory sacrifices be in vain, report your success to Aganbold and bring this trial to an end.
- Aganbold declares you one of the adventurers of Revenant's Toll, and returns to speaking in a normal tone of voice. Your relief outweighs any suspicion you may entertain that you have been cozened in some way...
Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Aganbold: I speak for the confraternity of 'venturers who call Revenant's Toll home. Take heed, [Forename]. We have a common foe! A hated enemy! A fierce adversary! And its name is—morbol! Aganbold: Sister/Brother [Forename]! You hate this enemy!? Does your heart yearn to slay it!? Then do so, sister/brother! Go and slay three! Aganbold: This is a rite of passage, Sister/Brother [Forename]! If you're to be part of Revenant's Toll, we must know: do you ring true?
Reporting to Aganbold
Aganbold: Hear ye, hear all! The morbols are slain...and [Forename] has passed the first test of Revenant's Toll 'venturers! What, you didn't think it would just be one test, did you? Aganbold: The next trial is...by combat! Face our nemesis—the enemy to sing our threnody, the foe to tag our big tow! See you where I placed the mark on your map? Return alive, sister/brother.
Reporting to Aganbold (2)
Aganbold: Aaand the fearesome Morbolger falls to the newest brave of the Revenant's Toll 'Venturers' Guild—[Forename]! Welcome to the confraternity, sister/brother. Aganbold: Seriously, how'd you kill that thing? That Morbolger was something else. They say it started off as an escaped pet. Guess that's what you get when spoiled rotten meets red in tooth and claw. Aganbold: That thing slew more 'venturers with its charnel breath than a whole parade of gigas. Not that I wanted you dead exactly, you understand, but folk have been known not to come back. Aganbold: Well, that's all in the past, eh, Sister/Brother [Forename]! You're one of the Revenant's Toll 'venturers now. Death to morbols!
