Dialog from the quest:
1) Speak with Guard Thuvvia at loc=37484,33469,19380 dir=96 in Burial Grounds.

Guard Thuvvia says, "Well met, Valkyrie. I haven't seen your face around here before, so I'm guessing you're new to the area. That might work to [your advantage]."

Guard Thuvvia says, "Ever since the Kobolds opened up these Burial Grounds, we've had problems with bandits. There's a group, the Darkwood Bandits, who have been causing trouble - stopping supply lines, attacking those going to help defend the Kobold Undercity. We've been trying to keep them away, but they continue to [cause trouble]."

Guard Thuvvia says, "I started following a pair of them the other day, but they disappeared down a tunnel when they recognized that I was a guard. I was about to follow but my superior called me back and I [lost track] of the bandits. It's been bothering me ever since then."

Guard Thuvvia says, "I know they're hiding in that tunnel somewhere, but I can't leave my post to go find them. I think they were talking about an attack, but I need to be sure before I can tell the other guards. I need someone to go down into that tunnel and do some spying for me. Do you think you would [be interested] in helping me? I will reward you."

Now, I don't want you to try to engage these Darkwood Bandits. All I need you to do is spy on them and [listen] to what they have to say, then come back and report to me."

Guard Thuvvia says, "Because they are in hiding, it will make it hard to find them. But fear not! I've had this special necklace made to detect hiding Darkwood Bandits. Simply put it on and walk down the tunnel. It will let you know when you should stop and listen. Return to me when you're ready to report."
