Description
Jorgen, you ol' sonuva.... So, that's how it's going to be, huh? All right, I can deal with that. I hope he finds the Twisting Nether that much sooner! Here's what's gonna happen, adventurer. I'll start using my contacts here, but you're doing most of the footwork so I save some coin. Head to Darkshire in Duskwood and find Watcher Backus--he usually patrols the north road right outside of town. Just tell him you're looking into any Defias activity for me and he'll help you out with any information he can.

Progress text
Not too safe to be traveling about in the woods, adventurer. Be careful, and if you see anything suspicious or dangerous, contact the Watchers immediately. Don't try and take anything on yourself. We're not responsible for anything terrible that might happen to you. But we both know you're gonna ignore me and fight whatever comes out of the darkness anyway, don't we? Haha, yeah, you adventurer types... all the same.
Completion text
Oh, Trias sent you, huh? That's a little different. Feel free to fight whatever monstrosities come at you from the darkness. I'm sure you'll be able to handle it pretty easily if you're the type to be hanging around with the likes of him. So, what does my friend need of me on such a gloomy day as this?
