Quest-Related Events[edit]

She will wait not far from a xanmeer with fellow scavengers. When approached, she'll warn you:

"Look out! The swamp creatures have gone mad!"

Sleeps-with-Open-Eyes will be missing some of her scavengers from the recent attack on the village. You will help look for the missing scavengers:

"This is a disaster! Some scavengers are lost in the mire and I can't spare anyone to go look for them.
Any chance you can help me?"
What do you need?
"Xal Ithix relies on scavenging for its livelihood. Instead of hunting their usual prey, stranglers now attack the scavengers."
Can't you go after them?
"I'm a scavenger, not a warrior. Look around us. The stranglers attack everything that moves, whether it can resist or not.
Can you help the few fighters we have left?"
I'll do what I can to help.

She will warn you about the hoarvors and stranglers:

"Be careful of the hoarvors. They're the giant tick-like creatures burrowing through the muck.
Usually, they're a nuisance, but lately the blood-suckers have been downright dangerous."
What about the stranglers?
"They're large, overgrown plants. When threatened, their spiny tentacles grab at you and pull you in.
Even experienced scavengers can get caught by them if they aren't careful."

After you've rescued scavengers, she'll ask for another favor. You will need to find Nimble-Knuckles' bow:

"Thanks for rescuing our scavengers from those crazed plants.
We could still use your help. Well, Nimble-Knuckles asked me to ask for your help, if you've got time."
Help with what?
"A strangler's barb hit Nimble-Knuckles, and she dropped her bow in the muck. She's a bit shy about asking you directly.
Please look for it. It must be in one of the trash piles."
I'll take a look.
<Ends the conversation>
Where is Nimble-Knuckles now?
"Off by herself around the xanmeer. She's proud of that bow, and its loss affected her greatly.
For a scavenger, she's too attached to material things, if you ask me."
I'll look for her bow.
<Ends the conversation>

Speaking to her again:

"If you can find that bow, Nimble-Knuckles would appreciate it."

After finding the bow and before you take it to Nimble-Knuckles:

"You found it! Take it to Nimble-Knuckles. She would still be resting nearby."

Speaking to her after the quest:

"My scavengers and I appreciate your help. I don't know what's going on with the bog beasts, but at least we can protect ourselves now."
