The first quest I was sent to root out some bandits that died really quickly. The reward was a unit of 5 OP archers that hit in the 30s and got 2 attacks. They basically 1-2 shot everything. Persha Archers or something to that effect.

The second quest sent me chasing after a Yeti that attacked a village. In order to get to the Yeti I had to fight 3 Slags which were fairly tough normal I'm sure but my archer made short work of them. Then you attack the Yeti, who died in like 1 hit to the archer. The slags were a much tougher fight and they werent even the objective.

The 3rd quest was one to gather herbs to help a shaman. If you dont kill him he joins you but hes got like 10 hp and 1 minor spell. Not particularly useful or rewarding.
