Journal
  1. Ivaurault has information to share regarding your investigation.
  2. Ivaurault reveals that he has also seen the winged eyeball. The sighting took place at the rocky area to the west. Take yourself there and investigate.
  3. Instead of the winged eyeball, a monstrous banemite appears, and you are forced to defend yourself. Return to Fallgourd Float and report to Ivaurault.
  4. You learn that the banemite you slew had long been a scourge upon the locals. While Ivaurault is duly impressed with your skill at arms, he wonders whether he only imagined seeing the winged eyeball.
Hidden
Title reference 'See eye to eye' means to agree. The title twists it, since Ivaurault says he locked gazes with a giant winged eyeball.

    Medrod does not appear. Ivaurault speaks of him as someone easily frightened.

    What you know from earlier quests 1
    • #152 Terror at Fallgourd: Medrod is sure he looked death in the face and wails in fear until you soothe him. Then he tells of a masked man in black with a winged eyeball fiend, near a woman's corpse. He offers to help you.

  • Ivaurault

    Ivaurault has something to tell you about the case that he has kept to himself.

    What you know from earlier quests 1
    • #152 Terror at Fallgourd: Ivaurault agrees to help your hunt for the masked man, mainly so that nobody has to suffer Medrod's hysteria again.
What happens in this quest spoilers for this quest
  • Medrod: Ivaurault says he kept his own sighting secret so that Medrod's paranoia would not get worse. Medrod saw the eyeball at the same moment as Ivaurault.
  • Ivaurault admits he also saw the winged eyeball, at the same time as Medrod, at a rocky area to the west. He hid it to spare Medrod's fears. You find a huge banemite spider there; he thanks you but doubts what he saw.

Accepting the quest

Ivaurault

There is something you should know. I have been keeping this to myself, lest I worsen Medrod's paranoia, but I, too, have seen the winged eyeball.

  • FR J'ai gardé ça pour moi parce que je voulais pas effrayer l'autre pleurnichard, mais j'ai vu l'œil volant moi aussi. ‘I kept it to myself because I didn't want to scare that other crybaby, but I saw the flying eye too.’ English speaks of Medrod's paranoia; French calls Medrod "that other crybaby".

I cannot say whether it was coincidence, but my sighting took place precisely the same time as Medrod's. I was heading home after a day of digging when a shadow fell over me.

Looking up, I found myself locked in a gaze with a giant eyeball. I let out a scream at the top of my lungs and ran without once looking back. This happened at the rocky area west of here, in case you had a mind to investigate.

Investigate the specified location.

(/lookout at rocky area and slay the spider that pops.)

Report to Ivaurault.

Ivaurault

A monstrous banemite appeared...and you slew it!? That creature had long been a scourge upon the folk of Fallgourd!

Intentional or no, you have done us a great service. You have my gratitude!

...But this does make me wonder, was it truly a winged eyeball I saw? Or merely a trick of light combined with blind panic?

  • FR Avec tout l'alcool que j'ingurgite à longueur de journée dans la mine, j'ai peut-être eu une hallucination ? ‘With all the alcohol I gulp down all day long in the mine, maybe I had a hallucination?’ English blames a trick of light and panic; French blames all the alcohol he drinks in the mine.
