- "Thank you for all coming, I'll try and keep this brief. A few days ago a diamond dog raiding party hit our town and abducted nearly a dozen ponies. I alerted the Royal Guard, but they won't be here for at least another week. I would send my own ponies after them, but they are occupied with the defence of this town. You will each be rewarded if you can bring back the missing ponies and any other creatures they may have abducted. I will personally throw in an extra reward if you can bring me back the head of that pack's alpha, or bring back something of his that proves he is dead."
- If asked why he wants the Alpha dead.
- "I want him dead because he attacked my town and took my ponies. His death should also keep the diamond dogs disorganized until the Royal Guards can get here
- and drive the pack away."
