He asks that you complete the delivery in his stead while he repairs the stagecoach. takes the news of kobold activity with a furrowed brow. It might be best to bring this matter to Anaoc's attention.Next in the play order: Bait and Swat. Anaoc explains an old pact: the sea for Limsa, the underground for the kobolds.

Skarnmhar's warning is the turning point of the kobold chain. From here on, it is open conflict. It breaks out in the next quest, Bait and Swat.
The fixed reward is 1 Amateur's Kurta. It is a fitting prize after you save a load of clothes from the kobold raiders.
Encyclopaedia Eorzea says the kobolds once made a peace treaty with Limsa Lominsa. But recent arguments over minerals have brought the fighting back.
The title sounds like 'Cowboys and Indians', and the quest plays like a Western. The word 'indigent' means very poor. That hints at why the kobolds are raiding.
Who they are, and what they do in this quest.
Anaoc is at the Red Rooster Stead and has not yet heard about the kobold raid on the stagecoach.
Anaoc sighs that the kobolds are at it again. He says they leave their underground homes to wreak havoc on Lominsan land, and the farmers' livelihoods are at stake. Since neither side gives ground, he fears there may be no peaceful end.
Skarnmhar keeps watch over the Stead's gates. Today's stagecoach never arrived; word says something stopped it near Blind Iron Mines.
Skarnmhar sends you to help the coachman, Wahoy Mahoy, who is plucky but alone. When you bring back three bags of clothes, Skarnmhar fears the restless kobolds are not done. He says war is at their doorstep and tells you to inform Anaoc.

The coachman is a plucky fellow. If I know Wahoy Mahoy, he'll be poking around the mines, plotting to salvage his consignment. But ultimately, he is just one man. It would put my mind at ease if you could go to his aid.
