Story
The offer
I assume you've heard of the Dragonbound? I've heard that blasted name too often lately.
I've treated many septic wounds caused by them--too many, in fact, for normal weaponry.
I've found that they are coating their blades and arrowheads with poison.
- "And you seek an antidote."
Of course. Right now, I can only treat symptoms--a long and painful road to recovery.
To do that, I need a sample of the poison in its purest form, before it goes to work in the body.
I've heard you take such tasks for the good of fellow Daevas and Asmodae...?
- Accept.
- Decline.
I'm afraid I only have secondhand accounts from the Daevas I've treated.
But some told me that they saw the Dragonbound with a Poison Bottle before they were attacked.
Those are what I need. They're probably scattered throughout Udas Temple for the Dragonboud to use. Bring them back for me.
- "The Dragonbound are the poisoned ones...."
Journal
The Dragonbound have started applying poison to their weapons. Go to the Udas Temple and collect Poison Bottles for Sulbanyer.
Along the way
I've done as much as I can--the wounded are resting comfortably, for now--but the pain is agonizing and the weakness profound.
Asmodae needs those Daevas in fighting shape as soon as possible. Please give me whatever you found in Udas Temple.
- "Here's what I have...."
I know it must be difficult obtaining the poison without becoming its victim, but I really do need it in its original state. It's the best bet I have of finding an antidote.
Those Poison Bottles are probably either well-guarded or well-hidden, but please do your best to get them.
- "I always do."
Reward
Hmm, the bottles are smaller than I expected they'd be. It's either more potent or more concentrated than I thought.
But at last, I can start creating an antidote. It'll also tell me a lot about how the Dragonbound make all their poisons.
This was no mere fetch errand--you've actually advanced the Asmodian cause significantly. Good job.
Completion
Sulbanyer was concerned by the poison the Dragonbound use on their weapons. He wanted to examine the poison directly to create an antidote for injured Daevas.
You went to Udas Temple and found the Dragonbound's Poison Bottles for Sulbanyer to study. He appreciated your efforts on his (and Asmodae's) behalf.
