Covert Operation

Go to the [ZONE_BLACK_NEST_FLATLAND|Black Nest Lowlands] and investigate. Find the [122128|Escort Party Tracks].

There's something queer about this escort business that they're hiding. You can see that much in the way [122792|Mark Alaine] behaves. I fear something must have happened to the escort party.

The escort must have taken the route through the [ZONE_BLACK_NEST_FLATLAND|Black Nest Lowlands]. We ought to be able to pick up the [122128|Escort Party's Tracks] there. [$playername], head on over there and see what you can find!

Oh, this dagger has been engraved with the totem of <CY>[SC_PIRATE_KIDSOFKIDD|Kidd's Sons]</CY>. That's an interesting find!

Looks like the escort party got caught up in serious difficulties en route. Could that be the reason why [122792|Mark Alaine] has been acting so strangely?

We can't continue if we don't have the right information.
