33. Farm Sector North of Friendly Arm Inn

• Ajantis, who waits on the road to the southwest in this sector, is a paladin who is willing to join your party if you have a decent reputation.
  

• A trio of NPCs, Sonner, Jebadoh, and Telman will inform you that they are being harassed by the Bitch Queen Umberlee and will promise you a magic weapon for getting her to leave them alone. Sonner carries your reward, a flail +1.
  

  map of the farm sector north of the Friendly Arm Inn, an area infested by Ankhegs.

• The entire sector is infested with ankhegs, and they've grown a nest in the middle of the sector, as evidenced by a deep whole in the field. Within the hole you'll find the body of Farmer Brun's son. Ankhegs, with their acid attacks, can be deadly. Use summoned creatures or animated dead as buffers to serve as targets for the acid attacks, and when facing solitary ankhegs, move one or more of your strongest fighters into melee combat with the ankheg, to minimize its ability to spit acid. Farmer Brun's son's body is in the northeast corner of the ankheg lair. Unfortunately, you won't be able to resurrect the boy, and just have to return the body in its current state. Talk to Farmer Brun after you've returned the body and you'll get the opportunity to ease his suffering. Also in the lair are darts of wounding, darts of stunning, potions of magic protection, cloud giant strength, cursed antidote, a wand of fire, and scrolls of dire charm and ghost armor, dagger +1, and chainmail +1.
  

• Gerde, who is just west of the road in the northern portion of this sector, will give you a few coins for culling ten ankhegs.
  

• You can take the ankheg heads to the smithy in Beregost for gold, and you can also get the smithy to craft you one set of ankheg armor, which is even better than full platemail armor.
