The quest
http://everquest.allakhazam.com/db/q...tml?quest=2718 seems to be broken. With amiably faction I should have received the reward "glaive of marltek" but instead upon handing in the "blood soaked note" Captain Nealith mistook the note for a canine emoting: Captain Nealith holds the canine in his palm. 'Good work, but you will have to slay more than this to earn your wages.'
Not exactly sure what's going on here but it seems that Captain Nealith is thinking the note is a canine instead of the note that it is.
