Description

Things seem to be goin' our way more and more lately, <name>. I was out doin some explorin' when I came upon this little beauty.

<Sully gestures to the ballista to his right.>

Problem is she's one of a set and the other one is still in pieces. I'd have gotten it together by now if those pesky Grimleers hadn't ambushed me and taken some of the gears and bolts.

Hey, ye seem to be pretty good at handlin' the natives. Ye wouldn't mind goin' and helpin' ol'Sully out would ye?

It would appear that if you reach the border between the Bamboo Wilds and the Den of Sorrow, the Hozen Ambushers will appear as if they are there, but if you try to approach them, they will disappear, and the wildlife that occupied this space earlier will re-appear. As a warrior, this was a tad annoying, but simply pulling the Hozen back into the Bamboo Wilds will solve it.

    You came to deliver a message to the Jade Serpent, right? <The little girl tilts her head up at you inquisitively.> I guess it's time you met her.

After this quest

  • Gauging Our ProgressThe Jade Forest · Level 10-35

    The time for war is at hand, <name>! We've been training these natives non-stop since you left, and I believe they're as good as they're going to get. See for yourself. Check in with the others and return with your findings. We must rely on our enemy being somehow... even less prepared.
