Avarik SavageCry

Avarik SavageCry dreams of being a great general but lacks experience. He believes it is his destiny to become a Grand General of the Order of the Beasts. But Queen Sonya Jade-Eye will not let him try because he has no experience leading. Avarik begs your Wizard to let him lead you into the Metasoma Caves to battle for the Gall Stone of ancient legends.

Two possibilities for this one.
