I was amiable to the gnomes (I think they're on Coldain faction) so I hailed this guy and the other two with him. When I hailed Bilf he replied, 'Shove off, mate. We're busy 'scoutin'. Can't ya see? Hehehe!'
Feld and Blik then added, 'Har har! Scoutin'. Yah, thats what we be doin'!'
My guess is these guys are the scouting party that Captain Nalot says he sent out in search of their mapper. Does anyone know of anything to do with them?
