Description
I saw a creature like your friend here. We both were being held captive by my ruthless kin, the Faithless. Before I was cast aside I gave him something to protect, something most precious. Naturally, I would also like to see your friend's safe return. My people will lend you their aid. Come, I will call for my pterrordax to take us. Together we shall find where your soldier friend was taken.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Antidote Application
The antidote's ready. It smells like death and tastes worse, but it should be potent enough. Let's hope that we're not too late for it to do any good. Here, administer the salve to his wounds. It should work nearly instantly.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Breaking Free
Look, these guys are in a tough spot but let's not lose track of the mission. We've got to rescue Private James! I saw a bunch of cages down in the camp of those snakes that are besieging the temple. If James is going to be anywhere, then it'll be there!
