Greetings, fellow newcomers to Norrath!

I come to you with a plea for help, and a potentially profitable quest. Out of context, it wouldn't seem befitting for a hobbit such as myself to be asking for the sweet, delicate, tender, delic... *ahem* ... the "remains" of my fellow bretheren...

...But in this case, I stand for all of Rivervale when I officially post bounty for the remains of our family members who were savagely eaten by the evil carrion spiders which inhabit the eastern mountains of East Karana.

Those poor halflings! They just wanted to camp out and enjoy the beauty of the Karanas, when late at night on their first night there, their camp was ambused and everyone -- including the children -- were eaten!! Presumably eaten alive, as the horrid carrion spider tends to do to its unfortunate victims!

We must salvage what we can and provide their loved ones with something to remember those that we lost.

I found this map on my noble cousin Meatasaurus's body, which was recovered from within the stomach of a slain carrion spider!

We must find the other family members, and soon before the spiders digest them!

In summary...

I am paying 75 platinum for each Halfling Parts (http://wiki.project1999.com/Halfling_Parts) that you are able to retrieve from these horrible horrible creatures (http://wiki.project1999.com/A_carrion_spider).

May Karana guide you safely, little ones!

How strange! I never knew those spiders dropped halfling parts.

Bump for a great player-run quest.

As a side note one can usually also find body parts for any race by killing bandits, but I'm not sure there are any Halfling bandits anywhere ...

I still have a stack plus of Wood Elf parts and some Dwarf meat and stuff. I never see you online!

I mourn for the furry feet which never returned, and the not-so-subtle Lord of the Rings reference which some will not get.

I am in East Karana right now at the HH ramp if anybody wants to play the spider stomach lottery! 75pp each, no joke!

Remember, I'm looking for the Halfling Parts found inside the carrion spiders here (the brown ones)!

Why wouldn't they get it?

To help publicize this great quest I've added it (temporarily) to the Crag Spider entry in the http://wiki.project1999.com/Per-Level_Hunting_Guide

It's actually the carrion spiders (the brown ones) that drop the parts. The black crag spiders only seem to have the silks... unless they BOTH are proven to drop the parts?

Oh yeah, duh, they're both in the same area so I mixed them up. I've corrected the entry in the hunting guide.

I'd imagine so but I'd ask GreenGrocer either via PM or in-game.

If he has decided to end this quest let me know and I'll buy any remaining parts at the same price (think of it as payment for letting me know I need to take the quest off the guide).

This quest is very much still alive and kicking, but I haven't been as active as I was during the winter.

Life/death/funerals/work/baseball season have been providing some pretty stiff competition to my EQ-time lately.

I can't promise the next time I'll be online to buy these, but I'm still interested in them, so please hold onto them if you can spare the bank slot!

Signed,
Your Greengrocer

Is this still going on? I happen to be killing Crag Spiders for xp and notice Carrion spiders are in the same area. I could really use the 75pp(just started in April, no twink gear or anything) per halfling part.

Yessir! 75pp each! Be sure to hang onto any/all of those Halfling Parts you find!!

Also, you may want to check the vendors in the area in case other people sold them.

Bring outcher meats, folks!
