Slay the Greater Venomsprout.

Description
The last time I was in this cave, I sketched a massive flower that dripped a vile, viscous sap. It's one of my best drawings, I couldn't forget it if I tried.
That sap is what's stuck to these tarasek spears, I'm sure of it. They must have started harvesting it to envenom their weapons.
The plant is beautiful; it will be a shame to kill it. Still, we can't let the tarasek keep harvesting it. <Name>, please cull the plant and put a stop to this whole mess.

Progress
Please be careful, <name>. You have seen first hand how dangerous this sap is, and I imagine it is far more potent when fresh.
Completion
Thank you, <name>. The Embertooth's venom harvesting days should be behind them now that they have been deprived of their source.
I realize now that I don't have to be a Waywatcher to make a difference in the world. I am going to resign my post and commit myself to my art. Hopefully some day I will be able to depict the most beautiful vistas in the Dragon Isles, for all the world to see.
I just hope my sister understands.
Notes
- Upon accept of both
- Waywatcher Alvi says: This should be enough for an antivenom. I just scrape it off the spears and... There!
- Nori coughs and sputters. After a moment, her breathing relaxes.
- Waywatcher Alvi says: Don't move too much yet, Nori. How do you feel?
- Waywatcher Nori says: Like I got trampled underfoot by a mammoth. But at least I can move again.
- Waywatcher Alvi says: <Name>, I am going to help get Nori somewhere safe. Meet us back at my camp once you've put a stop to this mess.
- Nori grimaces, stretching out her sore, stiff limbs as she follows wordlessly behind Alvi.
- Both head back to the camp.
- Upon completion
- Waywatcher Alvi says: Nori, I am so sorry. I don't even know where to start.
- Waywatcher Nori says: Alvi, you saved my life. You have nothing to apologize for. I am just glad you are okay.
- Waywatcher Alvi says: That isn't true. I have been lax in my duties, Nori, and it got you hurt. The truth is, I want to be an artist. It is the one thing that makes me truly happy.
- Waywatcher Alvi says: I know that the Waywatchers are a part of our family's legacy. I know I have a duty to uphold, but I just...
- Waywatcher Nori says: Your art saved my life today, Alvi. Sounds like you've found your true calling after all.
- Waywatcher Alvi says: Nori, I...
- Waywatcher Nori says: You know, with Bluescale gone we probably won't need as many Waywatchers on this pass.
- Waywatcher Nori says: Maybe you should take some leave time, go see the rest of the Isles with that sketchbook of yours.
- Waywatcher Alvi says: Thank you, sister. Truly.
