What to do
Description
The bugs came from everywhere... There wasn't any time to react. Many of my friends died where they stood, while others tried to fight with our meager tools. I'm a coward. I fled in the commotion instead of trying to help. Now, here I am, out of food and water and too scared to look for survivors. Please, I beg you to help anyone you find left alive in Orsis...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Word from Orsis
As you can see, <name>, we have our hands full here dealing with these disgusting bugs. Our caravans from the south have stopped arriving and we have received disturbing news from the few who've made it back recently.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Ankhaten Harbor
I fear that I don't yet have the strength to ride out into the sands and face those monsters again. Ride to the south and find Tracker Samara in the excavation camp formerly known as Schnottz's Landing.
