Journal
- Arold needs an adventurer to supply him with a hi–
potion. - Arold, a Wood Wailer stationed at Gilbert's Spire, was mercilessly mauled by a scurry of squirrels and is in a bad way. Unfortunately, he's run out of hi-potions and cannot leave his post to obtain more from the merchant at the Bannock. Help Arold by bringing him the medication he needs.
- Thanks to your kindness, Arold should make a swift recovery. Though his wounds will heal, he vows to remain vigilant, lest the Twelveswood punish his unwariness again.

Oh gods, the pain... I caught a scurry of squirrels gnawing on the fences earlier. I managed to drive them off, but not before they decided to gnaw on me instead! And now I'm the bloody mess you see before you.
To make matters worse, I find myself without so much as a single hi-potion. I know, I know...foolhardy. I vaguely recall using my last one after some trifling scrape several moons past... The gods alone know why I didn't think to replace it there and then. You wouldn't happen to be carrying a spare flask?
If you don't have any on hand, the merchant at the Bannock should have some in her stock. I can't leave my post, so if you could bring me a hi-potion, I'd be tremendously grateful.
Give a hi-potion to Arold.
Arold
Seven hells, did those accursed squirrels leave any part of me untouched? Ah, you're back! Do you have that hi-potion for me?
Thank the gods! I owe you one, my friend. Here, I want you to have this.
I had no idea squirrels could bite so hard! I thought I had seen everything, but it seems there are still surprises to be found in the Twelveswood. We both would do well to remember that.
