I feel bad for the troll. :(
Bloodrose Datura: Here, troll... a gift!
Captured Drakkari Scout: For me? Really, mon?
Captured Drakkari Scout: It....it be beautiful!
Captured Drakkari Scout then puts the Unliving Choker on and turns into a Withered Troll and Bloodrose Datura then kills him saying
Bloodrose Datura: Ugh... disgusting!
Need to talk with Bloodrose Dature and the quest completed.
