Acquired From: Lester

Completed: In Town

Reward: Auric Amulet

Exact Dialogue: So, you're the hero everyone's been talking about. Perhaps you could help a poor, simple farmer out of a terrible mess? At the edge of my orchard, just south of here, there's a horrible thing swelling out of the ground! I can't get to my crops or my bales of hay, and my poor cows will starve. The witch gave this to me and said that it would blast that thing out of my field. If you could destroy it, I would be forever grateful. I'd do it myself, but someone has to stay here with the cows...

Details: Once you have finished the Catacombs (or your character is level 15 or higher), you'll find Lester the Farmer standing near the cows across the stream from Adria the Witch. He'll ask you to blow up an obstacle blocking his fields, and give you a Rune Bomb to do so. Head down to the bridge near your starting point and click on the strange vines coming out of the ground with the Rune Bomb. They'll explode, revealing the entrance to the Hive. Once you've completed the quest, head back to Lester and he will reward you with the Auric Amulet, which allows you to double your gold capacity.
