TheWoWDBOn accepting the quest:
Meredy Huntswell says: Cole, c'mere. We're gonna flank our recruit and teach 'em how tae use Polymorph.
Private Cole says: Are you... going to turn me into a sheep?
Meredy Huntswell says: Why, Cole! I'd never do such a thing. Promise!Meredy and Cole walk to a nearby hill and become neutral, attackable mobs.
If you choose to Polymorph Cole...
Meredy Huntswell says: Yer polymorphed foe will wander around fer a bit. Use that tae yer advantage and fight whoever's left.
Meredy Huntswell says: Go on and hit him with an attack tae break the spell.
[ Hit Cole with anything to break Polymorph. ]
Private Cole says: You said you weren't gonna turn me into a sheep!
Meredy Huntswell says: I didn't! Our recruit did.Or if you Polymorph Meredy instead...
Private Cole says: Oh, I've heard of this tactic! You can keep one of your foes polymorphed while you focus on the other.
Private Cole says: Just remember that hitting your opponent will break the spell. Try knocking Meredy out of it.
[ Hit Meredy with anything to break Polymorph. ]
Meredy Huntswell says: Very funny, recruit. I think ye got the hang of this. Let's go back.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Mage's Knowledge
Ye got some good spells fer a novice mage. Ye might even be as good as I am one day! But ye don't know Polymorph! How could ye not know that? Polymorph's one of a mage's most useful spells. I can teach it tae ye, if ye can find me spellbook. Last I saw, the ogres threw me book in the lake. The LAKE!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Hunter's Trap
By now, most hunters would have been trained in the art of trapping. Allow me to get you up to speed. We'll start with a freezing trap. In order to make one, you'll have to forage materials from your surroundings. Meredy can provide you with a mote of ice.
