Head to Sansa Nusk in Wind Spirits Song, the Bard guild in South Qeynos
You say, 'Hail, Sansa Nusk'
- Sansa Nusk says 'Hello... Welcome to the Wind Spirit's Song. I'm Sansa, and I help out the local bards here.'
You say, 'Who is Fabian?'
- Sansa Nusk says, 'Ahh - jolly Fabian. He is one of our best customers! That is, of course, due to the fact that he has the heaviest fingers of any bard I know. Anyhow, down to business. I assume he sent you for a new set of strings. Unfortunately, I have not been able to procure any of the [special - uhh - things] needed to make his strings lately.'
You say, 'What special things?'
- Sansa Nusk says, 'Uhh - ummm - uhhh - Fabian does not know this, but his strings are - uh - made of - uh - [troll gut].'
You say, 'troll gut'
- Sansa Nusk says, 'Well, Fabian likes the thick resonance that only troll gut strings can provide. Trouble is, trolls are scarce around these parts, thank the gods, but Fabian breaks his strings as fast as I find suppliers. Trolls sometimes wander the Karanas in search of food but that is so rare, to see one there. Anyhow, if you find one out in the Karanas, bring me his gut along with 10 gold for materials and I can make the strings to take to Fabian.'
Find Zahal the Vile in the Northern Plains of Karana. Kill him and loot the Bag of Troll Guts.
Hand the guts and 1 pp to Sansa back in Qeynos.
- Sansa Nusk says, 'I am not even going to bother asking where you got that. Just take this set I already made and hurry them back to Fabian.'
