@96 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin:  River Poisoning

The reason some of my new friend's animals were becoming ill was because there had been a deer tha passed and was rotting in the river.  I was able to remove the carcass, and the water should return to normal in a few days.~
@97 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin

The ranger Crowley has taught me how to track creatures in the wild with greater accuracy, but assures me that the same methods can be used in most other types of terrain, such as cities or underground caverns.~
@98 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin

The ranger Crowley has taught me how to set snares in order to catch small or medium animals while in the wild, but assures me that I can use the same methods to cause harm to my enemies.~
@99 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin

@100 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin:  River Poisoning

I met a ranger up north in the hills who lives with a bunch of animals at the base of a mountain.  He told me he's been a ranger for many years, and would be willing to show me a few tricks he's learned, if I help him out.  I told him I would, and he explained that his animal friends were taking ill.  He asked me to find out why the stream near his cabin was polluted.~
@101 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin:  Evil Presence

The isolated ranger Crowley has asked me to find and defeat an evil presence that he can sense in the region.  He is unsure of where precisely this evil is emanating from, but told me it is somewhere within the city of Athkatla.
  When I have defeated the evil presence- either by destroying it or by banishing it from Faerūn- I am to report back Crowley south of Baldur's Gate where he has promised to teach me a skill which will enrich my life.~
@102 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin:  Evil Presence

Crowley asked me to defeat an evil presence that he had sensed in the region, which I found below the docks of Athkatla.  It was a hard fought battle, but I was victorious and the backwoods ranger has promised to teach me a valuable skill.~

@104 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin

The ranger Crowley has taught me how to aim for a specific part of a target, and by concentrating on that particular spot, aim more accurately for the target, potentially doing greater damage to whatever I shoot an arrow, a bolt, a dagger, or any other missile weapon at.~
@105 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin:  Sharpening an Axe

Crowley, the ranger that has been sharing some of his old ranger tricks, has asked me to sharpen his axe.  Seems he doesn't like to travel to cities very much, and asked me to bring the dull axe to Cromwell to be repaired.  Since it was a magical axe, Crowley thinks that the dwarven smith may need some special metal to reforge the blade so that it is once again sharp.  When I have the axe repaired, Crowley asked me to bring it back to him, where he promised to teach me another skill.~
@106 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin:  Sharpening an Axe

I had the dwarven smith Cromwell sharpen up Crowley's axe blade, and delivered the repaired axe to my ranger friend.  Crowley was nice enough to give me the magical axe as a gift, which I think was quite nice of him.  Crowley, like he promised, has taught me some new ranger tricks he's picked up while living out in the woods.~
@107 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin

The ranger Crowley has taught me how to sneak about the woods and forest with out leaving any traces of being there, and has assured me that the skill can be used in a variety of terrain types, even on hard stone of caverns or on paved or cobbled city streets.~
@108 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin

The ranger Crowley has taught me how to spread a bunch of caltrops upon the ground so as to slow up and cause slight harm to any approaching enemies.~
@109 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin

@110 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin

The ranger Crowley has taught me how to use nearly any type of item, including magical scrolls, wands, or anything else that I may not have been able to figure out how to use previously.~
@111 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin

The ranger Crowley has tried to teach me how to use nearly any type of item, but I just couldn't grasp his instruction.~
@112 = ~Backwoods Ranger's Cabin:  River Poisoning

I met a ranger up north in the hills who lives with a bunch of animals at the base of a mountain.  He told me he's been a ranger for many years, and would be willing to show me a few tricks he's learned, if I help him out.
