Detailed Walkthrough

A young and disgruntled Imperial named Thena Astinius can be found at the Sailor's Fluke in the Little Arenthia quarter of Anvil. Speak to her and she'll grumble about how her father never lets her practice hunting without his company. She has her eye lately on an alphyn rumored to be in the area.

Offer to help persuade her father, and she'll direct you to her family home on Little Arenthia's eastern side. Seek Suralian Astinius within, and ask him about the practice hunting topic. You'll need at least 70+ disposition before he'll agree to let her hunt the alphyn - provided that you escort her.

Return to Thena to let her know the hunt is on. She'll suggest meeting at the west gate of Brina Cross. You can travel there by walking up the Gold Road or by using a carriage or guild guide. You'll find Thena waiting outside the western gate. Speak to her when ready, and she'll begin to follow you - pointing you to a sighting of the alphyn to the southwest of town between Talgiana Orchard and the old ruin of Eumaeus, which will both be marked on your map. The alphyn is near the water at this spot. Attack it, but don't stray too far from it, or it'll attack Thena instead - taking her down in a few hits.

Once the beast is dead, speak to Thena. She invites you to her home in Anvil, so travel there to meet her. She'll direct you to talk to her father. Do so, and he'll give you a few lessons with a bow, raising your Marksman skill by two points.
