Mazzranache

My grandfather told me stories about his battles with a strider named Mazzranache. He told me of its demonic red eyes, razor-sharp talons and venomous bite.

As fortune would have it, while traveling across the plains, I encountered it, and it took a nasty bite from my shoulder. He was as terrible as my grandfather described. I will need some hard-to-find animal parts to clean the infection from his bite: a wolf heart, cougar femur, plainstrider scale and swoop gizzard.

Hurry, time is of the essence.

My fever grows worse and I find my mind drifting into delirious nightmares... I should have known that I wouldn't be able to handle a beast my grandfather was unable to defeat...

Do you have the ingredients for the remedy? I fear if I do not clean the infection soon, it will be the death of me.

Ah, thank you, <name>. Using the items you brought me, I will be able to create the remedy I need to stop the spread of the infection and, eventually, cure it completely. I owe you my life in thanks.

But I'll never forget that screeching call when Mazzranache came upon me, the blaze of color as its beak descended...

Be wary on your travels.
