Objectives

Zhurtan the Riverboiler
Kill Zhurtan the Riverboiler.

Slay Zhurtan the Riverboiler.

• Zhurtan the Riverboiler slain ^{[48.6, 46.0]}

Description

I spoke to our lookouts on the way down. They say this djaradin--Zhurtan the Riverboiler--has begun his heinous ritual southwest of here, close to the waterfalls where many of our ottuks build their nests.

If they're boiling the river upstream from us now, I assume they've decided to be done with us more quickly. We would be forced to starve or retreat. We will do neither.

They've prodded us like cowards afraid of a true fight. So let's bring the fight to them this time, shall we?

Rewards

The following will be cast on you:

• [Ottuk Taming] — Allows hunters to tame ottuks within the Dragon Isles.

You will also receive:

• 56 18
•  [Tutaqan's Commendation]
• Completion of "The Chieftain's Duty" for  [Friend of the Dragon Isles]

Progress

We have your back, as you have ours.

Completion

Our river--and our people--could not have been saved without your help.

The Uktulut tribe owes you a great debt.

Notes

On accept

Tutaqan says: Come, Qipi! I will armor you.

Tutaqan runs off, and Qipi follows.

Crafter Kuliqa says: I don't know what you did to turn him around, <name>, but I'm happy something finally got through to him.

Guard Hakota says: Agreed. he might be a stubborn fool, but there's no tuskarr better with a spear than Tutaqan. In the end, I would trust no one else at the head of Uktulut.

Elder Unujaak says: A chieftain is not the head of a village, but the spine. Now that he is with us, we may once again stand tall--yet we must still all do our part.

Guard Hakota says: So we will. Hunters! Guards! Gather your weapons from Kuliqa and follow Tutaqan. If the djaradin send reinforcements, make sure none of them breaks through.

Zhurtan the Riverboiler

Aggro:

Zhurtan the Riverboiler says: Our flames will devour these lands and reforge them in the name of the Qalashi! All will witness our strength!

During combat:

Tutaqan and Qipi join the fight.

Tutaqan yells: Come, Qipi! Together we will rid Uktulut of this monster!

Zhurtan casts  Lava Shield on himself and encases Qipi in a  Rock Prison. Tutaqan hacks at the prison.

Zhurtan the Riverboiler yells: Let's see how you fight without your precious little pet!

Tutaqan yells: Qipi! No! Not again... Not again!

Tutaqan yells: So long as I draw breath, Qipi, they will never take you!

Rock Prison broken:

Zhurtan drops his lava shield and resumes attacking.

Zhurtan the Riverboiler yells: Pathetic creatures! Now you will succumb to the fire!

Death:

Zhurtan the Riverboiler says: My body... feeds... the flames!

Tutaqan says: Our enemies are many, Qipi. This was but the first to fall.

Tutaqan says: We share the responsibilities of chieftain now. Our people will look to us to safeguard them.

Tutaqan says: I cannot fail them again. I cannot fail you.

On return

Tutaqan says: ...and we will stand stronger than ever because of it. We may be tucked away here, far from Iskaara, but that distance need not truly separate us.

Tutaqan says: Trade will start again as soon as possible. I will personally gather our hunting party to protect our workers for as long as we are needed. Uktulut will flourish again.

On completion

Tutaqan says: You have proven yourself a friend to me, <name>--and, more importantly, a friend to our people.

Tutaqan says: You are always welcome in the Uktulut Backwater.

Additionally, the NPCs of the town all turn friendly and offer their typical services, including a flight path.
