As a First Resort...

Start by talking to Chief Tess on the western side of Oo'glog. Agree to help her by talking to the lady in the bank, then go talk to Balnea in the bank. Just agree to help (like you always do...) She's definitely got boardroom-bingo syndrome. Buzzwords galore from the corporate world. Director's Diarhea. Yup.

Agree to keep her secrets, try not to think of her comparisons of hunting and business practices as making her completely psycho... (It's okay, you can fail at that, I did)

Ask her what's in it for you? Ask her what the pools do. She gets annoyed and wants your decision, so tell her you'll do it: "Well, why not? I've nothing better to do."

(Apparently you don't, or you wouldn't be doing this quest!) Ba dum bump. Thank you, thank you, try the veal.

You now have access to the bank! Good.

Target 1: Establish catering facilities. Go talk to Chargurr, and set her up with the basics of a good spit-fire. Chargurr is immediately north north-east of the bank, just a few steps. She wants you to collect 8 achey tree logs, 10 eucalyptus logs. Well what are you waiting for? Go to the bank, get your woodcutting axe, arm up and weapon up too, and get on it! Head west out of the village... There's a Eucalyptus tree there. Cut yourself 10 logs. If you see stinkbloom out there, pick some of that too, and don't forget to pick up any big bones people are discarding. Head back to the bank to unload if you need to.

Take the logs you needed to get back to talk to Chargurr, she tells you to put them on the pit then talk to her. She needs spears. Go get her 4 spears. Fight goblins, head to barbarian village with 4 iron bars and 4 oak logs and a hammer, do what you need to do! Once done, head back and talk to her and agree to give her the spears.

Talk to her again: She wants two chompy birds. If you're like me, you totally don't have this stuff anymore, so get a woodcutting axe, a knife, and about 1,000 feathers out of your bank and head to the ogre area to the north when you were doing the chompy bird quest, 1000 gp, and go out the agility exit or the gate, and head northeast to the quest start point east of Feldip Hills where Raanz is. Pay him for an ogre composite bow, then head to the cave entrance, open the chest and get the ogre bellows. Then head west to the area where the achey trees are and start killing wolves for wolf bones.

Use your bellows on the swamp gas, and then on the toads. You can only get three... Head to the achey trees with a knife and your woodcutting axe, chop a bunch, and fletch them into some shafts. Kill some wolves for some bones. I killed 30 giving me about 141 ogre arrows, and consuming a little under 600 feathers. Kill a few extra, you need them later. Drop your toads in the chompy area, and kill, pluck, and take the bodies of two chompies then head back and talk to Chargurr again. Put the chompies on the spears and talk to her again. Get your tinderbox out of the bank and light the fire. Talk to Chargurr again, she tells you to go talk to Balnea in the bank.

Now you need to talk to Snurgh in the Hotel (Two buildings east of the bank). You need to collect 8 stripey feathers from a tropical wagtail bird. Get a bird snare, and head out the west gate and then head north. Those on lunar spells can call for a hunting kit: 2 astrals and 2 earths. Lay the bird snare and catch two of the birds, that should give you enough feathers. Take them back to Snurgh. Then go back and talk to Balnea in the bank again.

After more corporate gobbldygook, you find out you need to go to the Salon (one building east of the bank) and talk to Kringk. You need to get some wolf bones and lup-lup furs (larupia fur). 4 wolf bones and 8 furs should do it. Go get some logs out of the bank (a lot), a knife, and a teasing stick (comes in your hunter pack if you have the astral spell for it.) Head to the hunter spot north of oo'glog, it's marked on the world map. Set two traps, tease the larupia, walk to one side of one of the traps, then jump it. If the Larupia follows you over instead of falling in and dying, go to the OTHER trap and repeat the jump. (Larupias won't jump the same pit twice in a row, hence having two pits you can alternate back and forth between). Once you've got the furs, go kill wolves and get 4 wolf bones, adn then head back to Oo'glog, and back to the salon. Talk to Kringk again and give her the stuff. Back to Balnea in the bank again...

We learn (with some interpretation difficulty) that we need to talk to someone named Seegud, just northeast of the bank. Each pool in the area is infested by a different type of insect. You need to get rid of them by using different materials. You'll start a fire by each pit, and burn different plant matter to get a smell that drives that type of insect away. Seegud has left piles of stones by each fire pit to remind her what to burn. Colors and shapes are the clue.

NOTE: THE ONLY CONSISTENT THING HERE SEEMS TO BE: Long Brown Rock = Eucalyptus Log. Everyone else gets different mappings for the other five, so WRITE THEM DOWN.

Mine were:

Long brown rock: Eucalyptus log to fire. (Every fire needs eucalyptus log)
Green lump shaped rock: fever grass.
Red round rock: Primweed
Yellow egg shaped rock: Tansymum
Orange squarish rock: Stinkbloom
Tall purple rock: Lavender

Okay, go gather everything you'll need:

Head out the west gate, then north and east not straying too far from the village. Oh yeah, arm up so the ogresses don't turn you into mincemeat.

On my first trip, I tried to fill up with primweed. I killed a couple of ogresses as well, and got 2 big bones and a crimson charm, and a gold charm. When I was full, I headed back to the bank.

Second trip: Go back out and find the fever grass, and go stock up on that. My theory is I may need more of this stuff, so I might as well stock up on it now and stick it in the bank for burning later.

Third fourth and fifth: Tansymum, stinkbloom, and lavender respectively.

Sixth trip: Chop eucalyptus logs with an axe, get a load.

There, we should have enough to do this.

Start with the Thermal bath northeast of Seegud's hut. Look at the rocks, check your mappings, and figure out what you need to put in the pit. Put in the logs, and the herbs, and light it with a tinderbox.

Something isn't right though, and one of the punk ogre kids laughs at you. Go back and talk to Seegud. I suspect the kids have mixed up the rocks.

So now we have to figure out WHICH rocks represent which herbs, because your mapping is all wrong. Kids. *sighs*

Okay, so you tried what you thought was the correct herb. Take the OTHER four with you along with four eucalyptus logs back to the thermal pit and your tinderbox. You'll set one herb at a time there, with a log and light it and see if it works. If it does, you now have a match for that color of stone.

Using that, find another pool with that exact same color of rock PLUS another. Bring 4 of the herb that matched before, 4 eucalyptus logs, and one each of the four other herbs. Load in the herb you know, one of the ones you don't, and a log, and light it and see if it works. Once it does, record THIS stone's herbmatch, and keep going.

Are we having fun yet?

Thermal with yellow egg shaped stones:
Tansymum: Nope
Lavender: Nope
Stinkbloom: Nope
Primweed: Nope
Fever grass: Yup
(REMEMBER: YOURS WILL PROBABLY BE A DIFFERENT MATCH!)

Talk to Grubb afterwards. He'll send you to the mud bath. Same herb plus one more.

Go back to the bank and get FOUR of the matching herb from the last pool, plus one each of the other herbs, and four eucalyptus logs.

It'll go like this:
Match + other{1} + e.logs + tinderbox = see if it works
Match + other{2} + e.logs + tinderbox = see if it works
Match + other{3} + e.logs + tinderbox = see if it works
Match + other{4} + e.logs + tinderbox = see if it works


At my mud pit, the stones are red sphere, and yellow egg shaped.

Yellow egg shaped was fever grass for me (my match) so let's go with the plan to find ouit what the red spheres equate to in my world:

Tansymum: Yep. (Hey, got it on the first one. Cool.)

So now I know...

Yellow egg shaped = Fever Grass
Red Sphere = Tansymum.


Talking to I'rk and Grunther till you find out what the next pit is. Salt-water (by Chagurr's cooking pit).


Salt-water's rocks are:
Long brown (eucalyptus)
Red sphere (Tansymum for me, you learned yours at the mud pit)
Green gumdrop:

Now, since you KNOW there are three unknowns, bring THREE of your herbs that match for the red sphere (tansymum for me), and one herb each that you haven't matched up, 3 eucalyptus logs, and your tinderbox.

Matching the green stone:

Primweed?: YES! (got it in one again)

So now I know...

Yellow egg shaped = Fever Grass
Red Sphere = Tansymum.
Green gumdrop = Primweed


Only two unknowns left! Talk to Snaarl...

Sulphur spring is next (by Chief tess' hut; west of where you are)
Rocks: Purple Tall & Green Gumdrop

So: Green = Primweed, and Purple = either lavender or stinkbloom.

Go to the bank and get two eucalyptus logs, two primweeds, and one lavender and one stinkbloom then come back.


Lavender? Nope
Stinkbloom? Yep!


So now I know...

Yellow egg shaped = Fever Grass
Red Sphere = Tansymum.
Green gumdrop = Primweed
Purple Tall = Stinkbloom.

By process of elimination, I also now know that:
Orange Squarish = Lavender.

Talk to Grr'bah, last one is the red pit west of the chief's hut (west of our current position). Go back to the bank, get one eucalyptus log, tinderbox, and one of each weed so we can just match 'em up when we get there.

Rocks are: Long brown, red sphere, purple tall, and orange squarish.

so: Eucalyptus logs, Tansymum, stinkbloom, and Lavender.

Light 'em up! Good to go.

Talk to Seegud again in her hut. And then back to the bank again to talk to Balnea.

She wants you to hunt some animals.

Diseased kebbits, wimpy birds (I wonder if they'd be glad to pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today?), and platypodes. Go talk to chief tess. You find out about smouldering stuff...

Kebbits: Tansymum makes them bite. They like Fever Grass. They'll follow you and you can bait the trap with it.

Platypodes: Box trap. Burn lavender to encourage them. Fever grass threatens them.

Wimpy birds: Burn tansymum to attract them. Fever grass scares them off.


Well great hunter, go get it done! Do the Kebbits first, bring logs and a knife to set deadfall traps, and fever grass and a tinderbox. Northeast of the sulfur pools you'll find some deadfall traps. Set one... Light your fever grass and run around trying to get them to follow you through the trap. It might take a bit of practice. You have to get all four of them! There's another batch to the east you also have to get.

Platypodes are just west of the sulphur spring. They all have names beginning with the letter 'P', and there are four of them. Set your box traps here and burn lavender. Once you have all four, go back and talk to the Chief again and get advice as to where to release them. Now head east to the docks inside the town and stand right by the reads and start releasing them. I got three caskets and an oyster.

Time for the Wimpy Birds! Go back to the bank and get a bird snare and tansymum and your tinderbox. Two building spaces west of the bank is where you'll find the birds. Go get all five of them!

Then go back and talk to the chief and announce you've done the hunting of all the animals. Back to the bank and talk to Balnea!

And you're done.
