I've been in a lot of fortress battles and, let me tell you, protecting Vorgaltem Citadel is different from anything you've ever done before.

No matter how the war is going, nothing's ever working in our favor.

We make up the tiniest little spear point of Elysea in Gelkmaros. If we lose Vorgaltem Citadel, there is no wedge, no Elyos presence, nothing. We lose the citadel, and we've lost Gelkmaros for good.

So we need to use every trick to keep our position. No matter how dirty. Today you get your education in Balaur weakening.

In Viscum Swamp, strangely mutated Mudthorns make stuff that repels some of the creatures who follow the Balaur. Fatter, more aggressive Mudthorns, you've never seen.

We call 'em Deformed Mudthorns, and I need you to go extract their Nasty Sap.

If the name alone is too "nasty" for you, then what're you doing here in uncivilized Gelkmaros?

Are you going to let all Elyos suffer because of your delicate sensibilities?

How much of the Nasty Sap have you collected so far?

It's a dirty job, and we're just the Elyos to do it, hey?

You haven't even seen a Deformed Mudthorn yet, have you? Did you bother to go out to the Viscum Swamp?

I'm waiting on you, your character. It's not like we have enough people to assign tasks redundantly.

Those Mudthorns didn't stand a chance!

Good work, and here's a little something for your efforts.

1. Get sap from Deformed Mudthorns and take it to Stanis.

   Nasty Sap x10

As Stains asked, get Nasty Sap to help protect Vorgaltem Citadel.

Stanis said that Nasty Sap would help protect the Vorgaltem Citadel.

When you got rid of the Deformed Mudthorns in the Viscum Swamp and brought their sap, he gave you a reward.
