>Hail, Hibbs Rootenpaw

Hello! I am Hibbs Rootenpaw, Master Druid of the Storm Reapers.
If you have not yet ventured beyond Rivervale beware of the [dangers] that lurk through out the lands beyond our shire.
There are many evil beings that would not hesitate to end the life of a young druid of the Storm Reapers.

>What Dangers?

The Teir'Dal, or Dark Elves, to the east have slain a number of brave Storm Reapers that are attempting to cleanse the Nektulos Forest of the corruption caused by the Teir'Dals evil magics.
To the west, the human farmers in the Plains of Karana are beset upon by vicious tribes of Gnolls and must valiantly defend their farms.
Closer to home the Death Fist Orcs and Goblin Clans Runnyeye and Pick Claws all attempt to control the Misty Thicket and chop down its sturdy trees for lumber.
If you are planning on leaving the safety of Rivervale I advise you to deliver this note to Bartle Barnick.
He will help you get yourself outfitted for survival in the wilds.
When he has outfitted you in a suit of protective leather return here for [further instruction].

>Further instructions.

If you feel you are ready for the responsibility of an important task then you may assist with the [investigation] of the ancient cursed fields in the Misty Thicket.
The crumbling walls that surround the cursed fields are believed to have been constructed around the same time as the ruined tower and the great wall of Cetelt.
We Storm Reapers believe that the walls once surrounded beautiful and fruitful gardens.
The arrogance of the caretaker of the gardens offended the Gods and in turn the gardens were cursed with disease and an evil power that animates the corpses of the dead.
The Scarecrow, Old Gourdhead, stands in one of these two fields and warns passers by that it is an accursed place.
Recently someone has been placing rats in the fields to become diseased.

もしあなたが重要な仕事の準備ができているなら、Misty Thicketの中の呪われし古代の地の［調査］をお願いしたい。
呪われし地を囲む壊れた壁は、破壊された塔やCeteltの万里の長城と同じ時期に建設されたようだ。
我々Storm Reapersは壁がかつて美しくそして肥沃な庭を囲んでいたと信じている。
その庭の管理人の横柄な態度に神々は感情を害し、そして徐々に庭は病気と死体を湧き出す呪いにかけられた。
The Scarecrow（案山子）のOld Gourdheadは、この２つの地に立ち、そしてその場所が忌まわしき場所である事を警告している。
そして最近何者かが病んだネズミをその地に放った。

>What investigation?

We Storm Reapers are searching for the culprit that is seeding the cursed fields with the diseased and undead creatures.
The person responsible has committed great offenses to the ways of Karana and the people of Rivervale and must be stopped.
Should you identify the individual responsible slay them and bring their head to me and you shall be rewarded for your deed.
It is a shame that our otherwise peaceful lives must occasionally be interrupted by the necessity for bloodshed.

我々Storm ReapersはUndeadと一緒に呪われし地に厄を蒔きちらしている犯人を捜している。
その犯罪行為は止めなくてはならない。
あなたは犯人を探し出し、殺して、そしてその頭を私に持って来て欲しい。
我々の穏やかな人生において、血を流すような事態が起きることは残念である。
