'These insects you discovered at the burrows are a source of both great concern and great inspiration. To have such venomous creatures nearby is a cause of fear, but it may prove a boon as well.

'As you may be aware, we have been attacked by the creatures you call avanc, but we have also been threatened by the Men from the East who have encroached upon these lands. Perhaps I could use the venom of these insects to make a poison to defend ourselves with.

'Would you return to the burrows and gather the venom sacs from these insects? Only the venom of the insects at the Creeping Mud will suffice. I know it seems a harsh method of defence, but we are truly vulnerable in this place.'

Gisalic is at the Woodman camp in the Rushgore, south-west of the Creeping Mud.

You should bring the venom-sacs you collected to Gisalic at once.
