Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Pierriquet: Good evening/morning, milord/milady. If it pleases, might you be so kind as to help me out with summat? 
Pierriquet: I'd be right indebted if you'd retrieve some zoblyn shells for me. There's ice zoblyns in the area─you could get the shells from 'em. I need at least three of 'em.
(Optional)
Pierriquet: Three shells'd be enough, milord─assuming you've got the time to spare.

Delivering the shells to Pierriquet

Pierriquet: Have you got those zoblyn shells, milord?
<Hand Over Zoblyn Shell>
Pierriquet: Oh, now these are marvelous, these are. Thank you so much.
Pierriquet: You see, I found some old cannons down at Camp Riversmeet. They were in a right state when I found 'em, but I've been fixin' 'em up... 'Course, I ain't got any cannonballs to fire out of 'em.
Pierriquet: But where there's a will, there's a way! These zoblyn shells are hard as iron, and if you break 'em just right, you can leave a fiendishly sharp edge on 'em. Reckon if we fire that out of a cannon, it'll shred a dragon's wings to ribbons!
