"Ahh, my dear brother. It is not just any old duck that's the problem.
This is a duck whose tower arises in the middle of a great swampland,
protected by powerful elementals. Then there's the spirits it controls,
and of course, no small collection of undead trollkin who have most
unfortunately met their demise. Alas, my military strategem of
overwhelming numbers of trollkin against this duck was less than
successful.

I remind you that this is a duck that controls the powers of a God, Zerel
Fan. Now, if we can release the Power of that God it will break the
Trollkin Curse, and change the sun itself. It should be quite an
entertaining event for all concerned.

Of course, I must provide you new robes, and sharpen that little blade of
yours. But recompense you say? Oh, dear little brother, I could not forget
you. If you and your friends succeed in this little venture, I will
release to you, that great secret that scarred you all those years ago.
I'll teach you the Godlearner Secret of the Fire Rune, discovered by yours
truly, about how to *permanently* change reality with fire.

How about that for an example of brotherly love?"
