Dialogue
 * "I have a bit of a problem and I wonder, could help me[sic]? Let me introduce myself. I am Turimachus. Yes, that Turimachus, known by many on the Jade Sea as the Dragon Hunter. I've been studying the Dragons of the Jade Sea since the day I could walk. People might think that they're dangerous and bloodthirsty, but I just love the little beauties. And fascinating? You bet! For example, dragons are excellent parents, which contradicts the classical depictions of these magnificent creatures. They are incredibly protective of their eggs, particularly the saltspray varieties that live out in Silent Surf. That's where I could use your help. I fyou could get me close to a clutch of Saltspray Dragon eggs, perhaps even offer something of a distraction, I'm sure I could gather one using extreme caution. Just meet me outside in Silent Surf and we can get hunting!"

 * None

Walkthrough
The basic plan is to meet Turimachus outside speak with him and he will follow you, then fight your way through the legion of monsters in the Silent Surf (you meet him at the northern end of the area and the eggs are at the southern end). There is one caveat in that Turimachus does not follow you. As soon as you talk to him, he starts heading for the eggs and it will be up to you to catch up.

The safer way to do this is to not talk to him. Simply start out from Seafarer's Rest, which is very near to the Saltspray dragon mob, without having Turimachus to tag along. You can still complete the quest by simply killing all the dragons. Zone back to Leviathans Pits and get your reward.

Trivia
Turimachus' mannerisms probably mark him as a reference to Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter. They both use the famous phrase "the little beauties" when describing dangerous creatures such as crocodiles and dragons.
