A typical Stone Canyon task looks like this:
Is this boar harassing persons outside of the Stone Canyon? I don't think so - it's never spotted on the outside. Is it not a danger to the Hyra people, who hunt and gather in those areas the boar is found? Has not this boar likely already killed or maimed one or more of the hyra people? Was not word of this picked up by some merchants of the Coalition, who helped co-ordinate the bounty on this beast, as it was a threat to life of Hyra and to business interest of trader? Is the mercenary not there slaying the boar at the behest of the Hyra? Of course, the mercenary's job is to go in, take out the boar, and get out, nothing more.The mercenary recruiter Warrington says, "There have been some reports lately about a large yellow-tusked boar that is particularly dangerous. We need someone to go out and defeat it. You should be able to locate it fairly soon after arriving in its native area. It was last seen in the Stone Canyon area."
