Did anyone else feel bad about making a bird that was just on the ground in a heap carry 2 passengers at once? I totally could've just flown alongside him on my own bird :P.
It's an uncomfortably slow ride sitting so close behind the dwarf

Description
Aye, look! I think she's perkin' up already. Okay Mr. Alliance fancy-pants {class}. Is that your base I see on the shore? "Highbank" you say. Can me and my bird hunker down there until she's better? Hop on! We'll fly together back to Highbank!

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Roots'll Do 'Er
Look here, mate. She's on her last legs! If me bird dies, I'm as good as worthless. So make yerself useful. Here on the peninsula you can dig up thorny stankroots. Oh the smell will knock you on yer patoot but steeped in water it'll boil up into a right powerful cure-all.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Perfect Poultice
Are you goin' by way of the Verrall river delta? I've got a tip that'll help your men here... and my bird! When water elementals carve their way through rock, they create a peculiar kind of muck. It dries hard as stone but carries with it the rejuvenating power of water.
