Oh God! They're all over me, crawling and biting!

What to do
Description
Ah, welcome traveler. I have need of your services! Syra Goldendraft was looking for some silk. Personally I hate silk as it always gets stuck in my fur. I really want to impress her though. If you bring me some silk from the Silkwood to the west of here I will gladly pay you for your help.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Find the Boy
Have you seen my son, Lo? He was here a moment ago and I told him we were leaving today. I'm sure he's off trying to woo that young Syra Goldendraft. That is the very reason we need to leave! No son of mine is going to run off with a Goldendraft! I'm going to search around here for them.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Silkwood Road
West of here is the Silkwood Road. It has fallen into shadow as the spiders there have turned to a more evil and gluttonous path. I would face these villains myself but someone has to defend the noodle shop from... um... dangers and such. Go, hero, and conquer these beasts!
