Ahyara tells you, "My friend Mara al-Luq in Yaraq has just received some happy news, and I want to congratulate her.  Could you rush this to Nasun in the North Yaraq Outpost?  He is a bit smitten with Mara, and would wish to sign it first."

Ahyara gives you Congratulations.

Nasun ibn Tifar tells you, "As ever, Ahyara is swifter to act than I. Ah well."

Nasun ibn Tifar gives you Congratulations.

You give Ahyara Congratulations.

Ahyara tells you, "Ha! Only for fair Mara would Nasun write sooner than I.  And overwritten, as usual. He does love his vocabulary."

Ahyara gives you Congratulations.

So back to Mara we go to see what else she would have us do.

Mara al-Luq tells you, "I have been contracted by the Dereth Exploration Society to help them in their outreach program towards the Isparians who find themselves newly exiled in Dereth. Here is a book that explains their mission. I am also giving you a list describing the locations of the nearest stamp and portals to other towns. If you collect any of the Society's stamped letters, you may bring them back to me for a reward."

Mara al-Luq gives you A Book of Quests for New Explorers.

Mara al-Luq gives you Nexus Town Information Guide.

Mara al-Luq tells you, "By the way -- if you haven't yet done so, you might want to visit Nasun ibn Tifar at the North Outpost, or Ahyara at the East Outpost. They often have tasks for young adventurers."

Duh, don't you remember the thank-you notes?  Lets go tell her father about how her memory is going.

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "Can I help you, traveler? I am the owner of these orchards. Please, make haste. I must give thought to the Drudge band which is stealing my harvest."

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "I need someone willing to protect my poor trees - willing to slay the Drudges in my orchard to the north of Yaraq, and bring back any of my Cove Apples that they've stolen."

You give Lubziklan al-Luq Apple.

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "I know not where you found this, but it is not from my orchard. My Cove Apples are the finest in Dereth."

Turns out the grove to the East and the one to the South aren't his, but the one out by the Rat's Lair apparently is and those Drudges are the ones raiding his trees.  Their corpses were caught red handed.

You give Lubziklan al-Luq Cove Apple.

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "One of my Cove Apples! And taken from a Drudge, no doubt."

You've earned 2,000 experience.

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "Perhaps you can help me.  One of those filthy pests stole another of my daughter's apple pies from the sill."

Lubziklan al-Luq gives you Encrusted Key.

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "Take this key and travel to the Sea Temple Catacombs in the hills west of Yaraq's North Outpost. That is where the band of mewling pests reside. Kill them, and bring back that pie!"

So over to the Temple Catacombs, it's a long run but the trip was necessary as the town stamp is reported to be there also.

Cool swhirly thing at the top of stairs leading nowhere. 

Racing back to the villa, you give Lubziklan al-Luq Warm Apple Pie.

You've earned 2,000 experience.

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "Since you have done so well thus far, could I prevail upon you to help me one last time?"

Lubziklan al-Luq gives you Strongbox Key.

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "I have just had word that the same Drudges have waylaid a cider caravan of mine, which included a rare bottle of perfectly aged cider.  This key will open the chest it was carried in - bring it back to me."

Havning been on all of levels one thru three the object of this quest would almost certainly be on the fourth, or beyond.  So instead of racing north, I went east and there 10 feet from the intersection took the leap down thru the small n/s chutes.  Landing in the long N/S corridor it was a quick south and then west to the ramp down to level 3.  Now on the ledge there was no need to wander the long twisty corridor to the ramp down to level 4.  Nope a big leap and I was there. Now it was just a matter of working my way east and to the locked strongbox.  Another trip back to the Luq villa.

You give Lubziklan al-Luq Perfectly Aged Cider.

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "Wonderful!  My friend, you have done me a great favor.  You may keep everything else you found in the strongbox as payment."

Lubziklan al-Luq gives you Mara's Healing Pie.

Lubziklan al-Luq tells you, "My daughter Mara baked one of her pies for you.  Please, take it.  I guarantee you will find it quite nourishing."

You've earned 2,000 experience.

Lubziklan al-Luq gives you 200 Pyreals.

As Lubziklan had no more quests to be performed it was a good time to quit for the day
