Spymaster Quin says, "Hello to you, Briton. The Deadlands are home to many fiendish creatures, though it was not always this way. Since the attack by the possessed thralls, matters are slipping [out of control]."

Spymaster Quin says, "The sanctity of the Deadlands has been violated by, among other things, a malicious tribe of gnolls calling themselves the 'canis ater'. You might recognize the latin translation of the words [black dog]. These new visitors to the Deadlands are a menace to all our people, as well as yours."

Spymaster Quin says, "I'm paying for detailed information on the canis ater pups. If you will go and slay one, then write a report assessing its strengths and weaknesses, I'll pay you for the work. Are you interested?"
