Accompany Dwayne and Cull a Monster

# Walkthrough
1
Dwayne Requests for Help
Dwayne has requested your help in killing a monster. Any enemy will do, and you can use the map to look for Enemy Forces (orange icons) nearby. Kill a monster, and Dwayne will quail afterward.
2
Ready to Cull More Beasts
Wait a day, then return to Dwayne at the Norgandian Inn. Tell him you're ready to cull beasts again.
3
Cull More Beasts
Look for any monsters and kill them. Afterward, Dwayne will freeze once again and head back to the inn.

Pay Dwayne a Visit

Follow Dwayne

Return to the Norgandian Inn and talk to Dwayne. Then, head outside, and Dorin will tell you that Ilsa has gone missing.

Save Ilsa

Griffin Fight

Follow Dwayne east of the Norgandian Settlement, where you'll find Ilsa unconscious in a field.

Kill the monsters in the area, including the Griffin that arrives. Once all the monsters and the Griffin have been dealt with, Ilsa will be safe and the quest is complete!

After a day, Dorin will approach you and this will lead to the next quest, Bout of Passage.
