If your inventory is full and you get the message saying you failed it, don't worry! You'll notice a cute little lashtail hatchling following you. Just return to Rebel Camp and you'll notice a yellow ! above the same guy this quests ends at. Talking to him will start the same quest as if your inventory hadn't been full.

Description

While looking through this soldier's possessions, you look down to see a newborn raptor hatchling looking back up at you. Was it following this Kurzen militiaman the whole time? You can see it studying you, learning your features and following your movements. The lashtail hatchling has formed a bond with you. Perhaps someone back at the Rebel Camp will know what to do with a raptor hatchling.

    It looks like your young raptor is hungry. If you're looking to keep her, why don't you find something for her to eat? The lashtail often attack the basilisks of Stranglethorn, which can be found to the east, beyond Kurzen's Compound.
