Sunspear Scout

General
Sunspear Scouts are rangers and paragons of the Order of the Sunspears, to be found in Istan. They often stand near Resurrection Shrines. Each such Scout relays a bounty, a special Blessing that doubles received XP and gives you 1 Sunspear Promotion Point for each individual you kill that is of the respective species. Some Sunspear Scouts are also found in Vabbi, where they give 7 Promotion Points per kill.

Istan

 * When talked to for the first time : "Sunspear scouts are stationed at every resurrection shrine in Istan. We can tell you about some of the dangers in the area, and inform you of any bounties."
 * Do you have a bounty to offer?
 * Standard dialogue


 * Skale Hunt : "I'm the scout Kormir sent to watch this area. We're having a lot of trouble. Skale, mostly...a lot of 'em. Do you think you're ready to clear a few skale out of the way and make Istan safer? If you are, I've got a bounty here that Kormir is offering.
 * Accept: "Don't worry. I'll clear this place out. Hand me the bounty."
 * Decline: "Sorry. I don't work for skale."
 * After receiving the bounty: "That bounty from Kormir is for killing skale. Get rid of as many as you can. Need anything else explained?"
 * Once rank or level is too high to receive the bounty: "Ahai! I didn't expect to meet you out here! Kormir sent me out to deal with the skale. A minor problem; nothing big enough to merit your attention."


 * Hard Mode Skale Hunt:  "Skale! They're everywhere! Hero, you have to give me a hand. These Skale are a particularly nasty group; I think they've been eating spinach or maybe Iboga. Kormir has given me a bounty to offer anyone willing to help out. Go ahead, hero. I'll be cheering for you."
 * Accept: "Hand over the bounty. I'm ready to help in any way kormir thinks best."
 * Decline: "Keep the bounty. I have other business to attend to for now."
 * After receiving the bounty: "Kormir's orders were clear: kill all the Skale. You've got your bounty, and you're ready to go."


 * Or: "Kormir sent me to watch this area, and I wish I'd been on leave. we're having a whole lot of trouble with the skale. They've gone crazy; they're all over the place and dangerous. One swallowed my brother whole! Look, I need a real hero to fight these skale and make isten safe? Oh, and if you find my brother...tell him the bounty is still good."
 * Accept: "Don't worry. I'll clear this place out. Hand me the bounty."
 * Decline:"Sorry. I don't work for Skale."
 * After receiving the bounty: "That bounty from kormir is for killing Skale. Gey rid of as many as you can. Need anything else explained?"


 * Or: Skale are everywhere. They ate my partner! We were sent to handle the population, but it's a horrible infestation...far worse then we believed. I need backup. I need the best! Are you the best? There's a bounty if you're interrested. Just try not to get eaten, okay?"''
 * Accept: "Ready, willing, and able to help. Give me the bounty, and I'm on my way."
 * Decline: "I'm on other business right now. Sorry."
 * After receiving the bounty: "That bounty I gave you should have been enough. Now head out and go destroy some Skale."


 * Plant Hunt : "Thank sweet Lyssa you're here. I was sent to this wastland to deal with the hostile plants alone. I've done my best to "weed out" the problem *har har* but nearly got myself killed! I'll give you the bounty if you're up for it. I could us [sic] a little rest and relaxation...know what I mean?"
 * Accept: "We should all do our part to keep Istan safe. I'm on the job."
 * Decline: "I have other orders. Keep an eye on the horizon.  I'll be back to help."
 * After receiving the bounty: "You have your bounty and a description of the plants we need thinned out. I'll keep scouting the area for you. And I'll report to Kormir if you don't return. Good luck."
 * Once rank or level is too high to receive the bounty: "Hello! I didn't realize Kormir took our plant problem so seriously, to send a hero of your stature. Too seriously, I think. You should be doing something of real worth, not spending your time pruning shrubbery, if you don't mind my saying so."


 * Hard Mode Plant Hunt: ''Ahai, hero, what a surprise! You've still got all your limbs attached. By Kormir's orders, we're on the lookout to kill as many hostile Plants as we can. We're offering a bounty to anyone crazy enough to join us...but don't sign on unless you can handle yourself in a bloody fight. I don't want to carry any bodies back to the camp.
 * Accept: "I'll take the bounty and make the area safe. You can count on me."
 * Decline: "I am busy with other matters, but I will keep this in mind if I find spare time."
 * After receiving the bounty: "Take the bounty I just gave you and make sure the hostile plant population is cut down. You're ready for anything they throw at you."


 * Or: "Whew, it's about time. Have you seen those hostile plants running about? They're resilient little buggers, aren't they. I had to plunge my spear into its body over a dozen times before it keeled over. I enjoy a challenge as much as the next guy, but my arms are tied. Kormir is offering a special bounty to those willing to take up arms. It's too dangerous a task for anyone less then a bona fide hero. And here you are! What do you say?"
 * Accept: "Those plants will be lettuce by the time I'm done with them"
 * Decline: "I've got too much on my mind to worry about killer plants."
 * After receiving the bounty: "You have the bounty and my blessing. May Balthatzar's fire blaze within you!"


 * Hard Mode Insect Hunt: " Oh, thank the gods you made it. An angry swarm of Insects is covering the land. Seems they crawled from their hives following the recent flood. And these are no ordinary creatures, mind you...they're ornery and tough as nails. There's no way for me to rid them all myself. Help me destroy these insects and I'll share the bounty with you."
 * Accept: "I like squishing bugs"
 * Decline: "Insects? Is that how you rise in the ranks in this outfit? I have more important business"
 * After receiving the bounty: "you're prepared. The insects are out there. You have the bounty. The rest is up to you."
