They do. There is a new quest.
Say "Help" to the guard.

 

There might be some condition before they will give that new quest. I can’t figure out what that is yet.

With a new character, I ran there and spoke to the guards. I could not get any quest from them. My main character Anpu could.....

 

They tell me "I need no help."

 

Have you done the "Nibbled Bone" quest? that might be a prerequisite to getting this new quest. If not, then the bug here would be that the guard should not be twinkling at you.


[10/31/2020 9:45:51 PM] Guard: Hallo, stranger. I have a small task that could use your help.
[10/31/2020 9:45:51 PM]
[10/31/2020 9:45:54 PM] Dutaurm Teroue: help
[10/31/2020 9:45:54 PM] Guard: Our spirit wheels could use some repair. I can tell you more about them if you're up to it.
[10/31/2020 9:45:54 PM]
[10/31/2020 9:45:58 PM] Dutaurm Teroue: spirit wheel
[10/31/2020 9:45:59 PM] Guard: Our people prepare certain bones to add to our spirit wheels, which keep our homes safe from evil. Many of them went missing, but they've suddenly started reappearing. We need someone to attach these bones to spirit wheels around the village. Would you help?
[10/31/2020 9:45:59 PM]
[10/31/2020 9:46:20 PM] Dutaurm Teroue: Only if it's dangerous!
[10/31/2020 9:46:20 PM] Guard: Dangerous? I hope not. We should have enough spirit wheels and spirit wards still in good repair. It should be safe. We need you to add this bone to a spirit wheel, switch the cloth on a second spirit wheel with this one, and swap the totem on a third spirit wheel with this one. I'll let all the guards know you're helping us. When you're done, let one of us know and we'll give you a reward.


Based on him saying "they've suddenly started reappearing" it would seem that you need to do the nibbled bone quest before getting this one

 

Maybe there's a minimum number of times you need to do the quest before you get this one? I seem to remember Sannio saying something about guests giving you a reputation in town. Perhaps they see me as reliable?

 

@Barugon I just had the same issue. So I reproduced this.

I just finished the "nibbled bone" quest (for the first time) and now the guards are working and giving the quest.

Can you verify in your journal if you have finished the Nibbled Bones quest, and then see if the guards offer you this quest?

Specifically, my experience with this bug is that the guards will wave and have blue sparkles but give NO quest, unless the nibbled bones quest was completed successfully.

Prior to finishing the 'Nibbled Bones' quest, their dialog is:

[11/2/2020 4:44:52 PM] Guard: Mind your way.
[11/2/2020 4:45:16 PM] Guard: Hallo, Echondas.
[11/2/2020 4:45:16 PM]
[11/2/2020 4:45:18 PM] Echondas: name
[11/2/2020 4:45:18 PM] Guard: I won't share my name with outlanders.
[11/2/2020 4:45:18 PM]
[11/2/2020 4:45:19 PM] Echondas: help
[11/2/2020 4:45:20 PM] Guard: I need no help.
[11/2/2020 4:45:20 PM]
[11/2/2020 4:45:21 PM] Echondas: quest
[11/2/2020 4:45:22 PM] Guard: I need no help.
[11/2/2020 4:45:22 PM]
[11/2/2020 4:45:23 PM] Echondas: bye
[11/2/2020 4:45:23 PM] Guard: Bless, stranger.


Once you have finished the 'Nibbled Bones' quest, their response changes to:

[11/2/2020 5:11:28 PM] Guard: Hallo, Echondas. I have a small task that could use your help.
[11/2/2020 5:11:28 PM]
[11/2/2020 5:12:18 PM] Echondas: help
[11/2/2020 5:12:18 PM] Guard: Our spirit wheels could use some repair. I can tell you more about them if you're up to it.
[11/2/2020 5:12:18 PM]
[11/2/2020 5:12:22 PM] Echondas: spirit wheel
[11/2/2020 5:12:22 PM] Guard: Our people prepare certain bones to add to our spirit wheels, which keep our homes safe from evil. Many of them went missing, but they've suddenly started reappearing. We need someone to attach these bones to spirit wheels around the village. Would you help?
[11/2/2020 5:12:22 PM]
[11/2/2020 5:12:39 PM] Echondas: Only if it's dangerous!
[11/2/2020 5:12:39 PM] Guard: Dangerous? I hope not. We should have enough spirit wheels and spirit wards still in good repair. It should be safe. We need you to add this bone to a spirit wheel, switch the cloth on a second spirit wheel with this one, and swap the totem on a third spirit wheel with this one. I'll let all the guards know you're helping us. When you're done, let one of us know and we'll give you a reward.
[11/2/2020 5:12:39 PM] I need to fix three spirit wheels.
[11/2/2020 5:12:39 PM]
[11/2/2020 5:12:39 PM] You received the following (Spirit Wheel Bone, Spirit Wheel Cloth, Spirit Wheel Totem) from Guard.

 

Submitted: Issue 68152

 

This has been seen fixed in build 1375. Entering Tanglemire for the very first time, only the Shaman (Elder Bodil) and the Villager (Arnkatla) have blue waving sparkles. No one else. Both of those NPC's have a quest for the player.

The guards now will have a waving blue sparkle animation after the player has finished the Nibbled Bone quest, as they now will offer you a quest.
