==Walkthrough==
After obtaining 40 or more reputation within the Fighters Guild, the Agent will be told of a relatively simple quest. According to one of the Guild's Questgivers a spriggan has been harassing some woodsmen, who have decided the hire the Guild for their protection. As the spriggan has already eluded two "ambushes", the Agent is sent directly into its lair to deal with the threat directly.
===A Root and Branch Petition===
The Questgiver will mark the dungeon's location on the Agent's map, into which the Agent must delve to begin their hunt. Inside the spriggan's lair, the Agent will encounter a random variety of creatures and enemies, as well as the target spriggan. If the Agent has a powerful weapon then the spriggan will die in one hit, although a low strength blow will provoke the spriggan to say:
The Agent now has a choice, either convey the spriggan's message, or simply kill it.

The woodsman will accept the offer graciously, allowing the Agent to complete the quest without spilling any blood or sap. The Agent must return to the Questgiver before the time limit expires.
====Rejecting the Woods====

The Fighters Guild of [guild's town] hired me to kill a spriggan that is molesting woodsmen. It's hiding in [dungeon]. I was given [x] days to get the job done.
*Quest accepted
1 	[Date]:
The spriggan has convinced me that it is not the villian [sic]. Apparently a woodsman named [woodsman's name] in [woodsman's town] has been cutting down its trees. If I can get [woodsman's name] to agree to log the forest more carefully, this whole thing can be settled without bloodshed.
==Trivia==
*This quest is only available if the Agent has joined the Fighters Guild and gained 40 reputation with them.
*When asked for any news, NPCs have a variety of comments to make referencing the quest:
**Acceptance: "I hear [woodsman's name] is stirring up the woodsmen against the spriggans. Funny. I've never known the spriggans to cause us trouble before."
**Success: "I haven't heard about that spriggan lately. Must have left the area."
**Failure: "Another woodsmen [sic] died. I hear it was [woodsman's name]. The rest of them have decided to log elsewhere."
==Bugs==
* The dialogue with the spriggan will always reference the woodsman as male, even when they appear as female.
* The quest does not register as being completed after receiving the reward.
** Using "Talk" when speaking to the Questgiver seems to fix this issue.
* The woodsman's location may be locked.
