HW Quest Part 2 - Storms in Hollowed Woods
Visit to Richard Silveredge on Port Royal, near the Port Royal Jail & Entrance to Port Royal's Graveyard! Myrna needs your help to keep the vile Captain Zephyr Windshadow trapped inside the Hollowed Woods Town Hall. He is the cause of all this chaos in the town. He is the one that angered the Watcher. Gather essences for Myrna and prepare a spell to stop the wicked Jumbee master from escaping! Complete this quest in order to loot the legendary Storm Sphere from Captain Windshadow himself & receive Captain Windshadow’s Outfit!
HW Quest Part 3 - Crystals in Hollowed Woods
Find Jumbee Jim at the Door to Crystal Caverns up the hill past Myrna and May's Gypsy Wagon. You came across a dazed Jumbee acting erratically near the entrance to the Hollowed Woods mines. That doorway used to be blocked off before. Something is afoot, but what? Is the Watcher acting up again? Is this another dastardly plan enacted by Captain Windshadow? Or is Jolly Roger meddling again? You must investigate - with the help of Hollowed Woods' steadfast gypsies, of course.
Complete this quest in order to loot the legendary Staff of the Hollowed Gem from Jumbees in Crystal Caverns or purchase it for bones from April May in Myrna and May's Gypsy Wagon.
