I'm a fp monk who recently went to qeynos and back (to get my white-orange
sash, and to travel the world some). I thought when I smacked the gnolls
in bb, that it gave faction to the fp monk guild. I know they gave me
faction to the silent fist clan.
one question. for the red headband, I know you need 3 heads from paw.
but when I asked about the red headband, all the guy said was to find
brother someone, and bring them back to the guild (not tomer, did that).
am I supposed to talk to someone and find out that that guy is dead, then
get a new quest?
