Arrow of Vengeance

I lost my whole family to Antharas the Land Dragon. My mother and younger sister perished ten years ago, when many southern villages in Giran burned to the ground in the heat of Antharas' rampage. Then, three years ago, when the land dragon extermination force was formed at the lord's command, my father and older brother were recruited as soldiers, sent to the Dragon Valley, and eventually died meaningless deaths.

I swore an oath before my family graves that I would slay that great evil creature. Everyone holds me back, saying that it is a futile effort, but I will definitely bring Antharas down. Don't you think that's the only way to bring peace to the spirits of my family?

I have prepared diligently during this past year for my revenge. I consulted with many mercenaries, and I even researched documents relating to the dragon in the Ivory Tower's library. The dwarf bounty hunter "Terrin Wymslayer," who is a famous dragon hunter, especially gave me many words of advice. I finally came to the conclusion that arrows were the most effective weapons.

For the past six months, I have repledged my oath of revenge every day, while working to forge an arrow that will kill Antharas. But the ingredients needed to create the arrow are all difficult to obtain. That is why I must frequently ask travelers like you to collect these ingredients for me. Can I also ask this favor of you?

I am not foolish enough to think that I can avenge the death of my family alone. I have received the aid of many, and will continue to ask favors of those like yourself.

The materials you must find for me are the Silver Feathers of a Harpy, Wyrm Teeth and the venom from a Medusa. The Harpy's Feathers are used to make the fletching for the arrows, while the Wyrm Teeth will be used for arrowheads. They say that if one applies the venomous poison of the Medusa on the tip of the arrow and dries it properly, the poison will retain its effects for many years.

As soon as you have obtained these three materials, bring them to me, for I will give you a reward for each. I've inherited quite a fortune from my deceased parents, so be confident that your reward will be grand. I have no use material things as avenging my family is all I know now.
