==Objectives==
#Speak with a questgiver from the Fighters Guild.
#Journey to and enter the specified dungeon.
##Track down the sabertooth tiger hiding within.

##(Optional) Retrieve the note left by the tiger's last meal.

==Walkthrough==
After joining the Fighters Guild, the Agent will be asked to complete an "interesting job" by one of the Guild's Questgivers. It is revealed that a sabertooth tiger belonging to a local Noble has escaped, and is now hiding in a nearby dungeon. However, the Noble claims that the tiger has been tamed, responding to a bell, and has therefore asked the Guild to go and retrieve their beloved pet.
===A Matter of Training===
The dungeon will be marked on the Agent's map, and they will have to enter it to begin their search. Inside, the Agent will come across a random assortment of creatures and enemies, although there will only be one sabertooth tiger, the Noble's pet. The pet can be found alongside a corpse, and the Agent must ring the bell provided by the Questgiver to get the sabertooth tiger's attention.
However, ringing the bell has no effect, meaning the Agent will have to "smack it upside the head" to get its attention. Not using a weapon is advisable, for a killing blow will make it impossible to complete the quest. However, if the tiger survives the hit and the Agent rings the bell, then it will follow them all the way to its relieved owner:
The Agent must return to the Noble before the time limit expires, and with the sabertooth tiger alive.
===(Optional) A Deluded Love===
After finding the sabertooth in the dungeon, the Agent has a one in two chance of finding a note laying alongside the corpse of the tiger's last meal. This note reveals the location of the victim's lover, to whom the Agent may report the victim's death:
The lover will hand the Agent a magical item for reporting the news to them, and must be spoken to before the Agent returns the sabertooth tiger to the Noble.
==Rewards==
The Agent will be paid a random amount of for returning the tiger to its owner, as well as a standard boost to their reputation within the Guild. Furthermore, if the Agent speaks with the old tamer's lover, they will receive a random magical item.
Failing the quest will not only see the Agent forfeit a reward, but also have their standing with the Guild harmed:

I have been hired by [town]'s Fighters Guild to find a pet sabertooth tiger that has run off into [dungeon]. Supposedly the tiger is trained to respond to a bell I was given, but [Questgiver's name] warned me that it may not really be trained very well. I am to bring the tiger back to its owner, [noble's name], at [palace] of [noble's town] within [x] days. [He/She]'ll pay me [n] gold.

I found the tiger in [dungeon], and now it seems to like me. It has started following me, at least. Now I just have to get it back to [noble's name] in [noble's town].
