The things the virmen say when you toss the fake "carrot" in front of them are awesome. Moreso when you realize how some of them sound EXACTLY like forum trolls.
A few quotes:
"Seems legit."
"I love it. I love this carrot." (Incoming guild name: <I Love This Carrot>)
"Look, look! Weird, bumpy carrot!"
"Ahh, turnip! Get out of here!"
"No, we been tricked!"
"I think we should eat it."
"Good things happen to us today."
"You no take carrot! You take turnip instead!"
"False carrot alert! False carrot alert!" and "I love it. I love this carrot." are the best quotes in the game. I stood around and threw carrots at these guys for at least an hour just for the lulz. These guys are definitely a mockery of stupid forum trolls. "Seems legit" is the best example.
I love this particular virmen conversation too:
Virmen 1: I just notice funny-looking carrot!
Virmen 2: Let's eat it!
Virmen 3: Seems legit!
*carrot becomes turnip*
Virmen 1: Who would do this!
Virmen 2: Stay away! We know what it can do!
Virmen 3: Ahhh, turnip! Get out of here!They are literally terrified of turnips for some reason.

Description
Uncle Chen's still got his eye on me, which means I won't be wandering off any time soon. I guess it's up to you to take these turnips... I mean, "carrots"... into the Twisted Warren and deliver them for me. It should be pretty simple. Just toss the vegetables in front of virmen, then watch their reaction when they find out it's really a turnip!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Thieves to the Core
You and that Chen fellow are good people, helpin' out with the virmen like you are. I don't like to ask for favors, but I ain't gonna turn 'em away, either. While you're out there puttin' the hurt to those rabbit-men, you wouldn't mind keepin' an eye out for some bags o' hops, would ya?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Warren-Mother
We've dealt with the alpha males. Now, the alpha female. Virmen aren't terribly selective when it comes to breeding, but most broods will still have a dominant mother figure. She's usually bigger, meaner, and tougher than anyone else in the brood.
