Agent,
The task is complete. I have frozen the arm for a time, but its probably best for your research if you meet with as soon as possible to retrieve it.
The elf you assigned to come along was of no help at all. While I was busy killing the gnolls, she kept talking about her studies of Netherese arcane traditions; which of course was entirely irrelevant to anything at the time. She was completely incompetent; the only usefulness she had was the fact that her elven lover came along as was able to track some gnolls. Additionally, she became extremely squeamish when I detached the arm from the body.
