So giving the xylophone back to another mob will never change. You're screwed at that point (because I'm not adding code to every single mob in the game to check for random gives).

I'm not opposed to changing quests to make them more newbie friendly, but if the quest log is accurate and you screw up, I'm less inclined to protect you.
