Dialogue
 * "You there! You look like a sturdy ... (profession here). I've tasked my man Fadden here with retrieving devourer eggs for me from the cave over yonder. However, he appears unmanned by the devourers, afraid of being eaten or some rot like that. I need a brave soul to keep the devourers away from Fadden while he does the job for which he has been paid. 


 * "What say you to that?"

Walkthrough
To find the duke, travel south from the gate of Ascalon City until you hit the stream where the River Skales and River Skale Tads are walking around. Cross the stream and head south, on your map you will see a grey area. That is the Devourer Cave.

Inside the cave, there are three areas with eggs in them (hold down the "Alt" key to see them). Clear the monsters around each area then wait for Fadden to collect the eggs in it (he will tell you when he begins and when he is done), then move on to the next. The third and final area has a few devourers that are hidden and will pop from the ground to attack you. Luckily, Fadden is a smart NPC and will stay far behind.

Tip 1: Talk to the duke before going into the cave to find out what he needs the eggs for. :)

Tip 2: Can be done nicely in one run with The Poison Devourer.

Tip 3: Use your devourer eggs for the quests The Worm Problem and The Rogue's Replacement.
