Wooing Zeratak
Summary
Azalak the mantis asked you to question his fellow mantis, Zeratak, and see if she is interested in a non-fatal coupling.
Prerequisites
To start this quest, talk to Azalak in Serbule. The quest is available at [Comfortable] favor.
Preface
“In captivity we were forced to mate like animals -- the male giving his life to feed the younglings. But now that we are free, do you not agree we should adopt the culture of a more civilized race?
I wish to mate with Zeratak, but I fear that she will not understand my desires. She is a very conservative mantis. But seeing that most mantises fled for the hills yet she remained behind with me, it is possible that she wishes to mate with me badly enough to try a new method. Can you see if Zeratak is amenable to using venison for the larva? I would ask, but I fear she may lash out in anger.
Requirements
- Speak with Zeratak
- Talk to Azalak
Response to player
“I do not understand. Azalak wants to mate, but does not want to die? ... He suggests deer carcasses instead?!
The concept disturbs me. I am a romantic at heart. No. Tell him that I expect my suitor to bite the dust, as they say in your idiom.
Rewards
Rewards for Wooing Zeratak
“This is a bitter pill to swallow, as they say in your idiom.
I still believe there is a way. Perhaps if I prepared the venison specially...
In any case, thank you for your labor.
