Durk’s got a Secret

Quest Giver: Durk the Deranged in the Leaky Dinghy

Patron: The Free Agent’s (4/8/12)
Length: Long
Entry Point: Harbormaster’s Plaza in the Harbor
Prereqs: none
Recommended Party: any, rogue and healer are nice
Base Experience: 906
Quest Info:
--Creatures: gray ooze, kobolds, troglodytes
--Traps: fire, acid

Walkthrough:

Head south. The first intersection to the east leads to an ooze infested dead end, feel free to continue south and skip it. The next intersection, the west fork loos to be a dead end, but actually has a secret door. It leads to a secret room housing 1 of the two troglodyte hired henchman, and a chest.

Heading deeper into the tunnels, you reach another intersection which splits east and west, and looks as though there should be a secret door further south. There is, but you can’t search it, you have to find the levers. The first lever is behind some crates in the gated alcove just to the east. Pull that lever. This will open an alcove along the route you just came from, and reveal another lever. Pull this lever as well. This will reveal the second troglodyte henchman, and another chest.

Now head west to find the first Kobold Brother. You will reach another fork. Further south is a dead end for now, so go west. Beware the fire trap on the pillars. This leads to the first kobold brother’s main chamber. Kill him, loot the chest, rest if necessary and turn the valve back behind the shrine to open the rear sewers to the east.

Now head back the way you came to the east. The East will have a door on the East wall, which will lead to the second kobold brother, another chest, another valve for the rear entrance on the west side and another shrine. Killing this brother will complete the quest as well. You can choose to take him out now, or continue into the rear sewers first. Just before the rear sewer entrance there is a possible rare named kobold. If he is there, be careful as his chest is trapped with an acid trap. The box is tricky to find, it is in the alcove on the opposite wall.

In the rear tunnels is a locked door, open it at your own risk, as a troglodyte caster is waiting back there to burn you to a cinder. Take him out for another chest.

Before leaving the sewer, be sure to check for the famous Muck. He spawns in the rear sewer, just behind the entrance by the first kobold brother. There are many myths on the best way to get muck to spawn, none have been confirmed.
Possible Unique Loot: Muckbane, Rahkat’s Tifle, Zazoo’s Spangle

End Reward: Standard loot list choice.

Work your way through the tunnels, killing kobolds and ooze. When you get to the area of sleeping kobolds, there is a secret door behind the crates which leads to an optional area.

The optional area has a couple of possible rare named, a spider and a trog. Also, there is a shrine at the end of the hall.

Continuing down the main hall will bring you to a shallow watery are filled with corpses. They will rise as zombies as you approach, and spikes will spring from the ground on the far side of the puddle. A lever in the alcove before the spikes will turn them off.

Further up will bring you to a fork in the road, and a possible named trog. Either way will work, as they both lead to the same place in the end. Each side also has a chance at a named kobold. At the end of either side is a spiraling pathway leading into the water, on the far side of which is a lever. Pull the lever, swim to the other side (or fight around to the other side) and pull the opposite lever. This will open up a portcullis under the water which will lead up to the end area.

Either a slime or named wolf will await you at the top. Kill it, then clear the end room. Grab Garrison’s pack and you are good to go.

The Kobolds’ Den: Clan Gnashtooth
(The Lost Seekers a.k.a. Waterworks part 1/4)

Quest Giver: Guard Tember in the Waterworks
Level: 2
Patron: The Coin Lords (4/8/12)
Length: Long
Entry Point: Inside the waterworks north wing
Prereqs: none
Recommended Party: any, healer and rogue are very helpful
Base Experience: 980
Quest Info:
--Creatures: kobold, brown spider, black widow
--Traps: acid, fire

Walkthrough:

This quest series is the bread and butter of the Harbor quests, and low level adventuring. The first two parts will flag you to enter the marketplace without having to bribe the guards. (Quest line – harbormaster’s seal, which automatically advances if you do these quests. Talk to Harbormaster after completing part 2) The second two quests complete the series, and grant a chance at a good semi-static loot chart.

As you enter the quest, a few kobolds pop out at ya. That first gate is trapped with a mean acid trap. Either have your rogue disarm it, or trigger it with proximity and then hang back and wait for it to blow itself out. Continue in.

Reaching a fork in the road, the choices are north, east or west. Be careful, the intersection is trapped with fire. Either disarm or trigger and wait them out, then head east. You need to retrieve a key to open the door to the west. The key can be in one of two rooms. Either in the spider infested storage room at the end of the hall to the north, which also has a chance of a named spider and loot, or in the kobold barracks to the south. The key is often up in the rafters in the barracks. Either way, find the key then start back, for efficiencies sake, don’t come all the way back to the crossroads, instead cut through the shrine room which is next to the spider room. Once through the shrine, hang a right and go east down the ramp. Clear out the room and pull the lever on the pillar. Be careful on the back ladder, it is trapped with a fire trap.

Once the lever is pulled, head back west and south, this will connect you back to the main intersection from the north side. Hang a right and head west to the locked door. Unlock it, take out the kobolds inside, possibly a named. Grab the key and head back to intersection and north. Hang a left into the clan leader’s throne room. Clear out his guards and threaten to beat the **** out of him if he doesn’t tell you where Arlos is. Be sure to pull the lever in his room, and maybe break into his treasure room. Be careful, it is locked and trapped.

Now head out and take a left, over to the now open portcullis (opened by the two levers you pulled) Head up to intersection. A right turn will take you to the end, a left will take you into a spider infested hall with loot and a possible named. Also, you must clear the spiders to get conquest xp bonus.

Heading further in will automatically advance your quest and place you in part 2, Rescuing Arlos.

End Reward: none.

If you go left, be careful of the large room in the back, the portcullis will slam shut behind you and the room will fill with kobolds. Be sure the whole group goes in together.

Under the water in the junction there is a door that leads down to an optional area full of zombies and a chest.

Arlos can be in any of the cells, be sure to hit the levers outside the jail areas on both the top and bottom floors to open the cells.

Be sure to speak to Guard Tember when you exit, to advance the quest.

Recommended Party: Full crew with Healer, Rogue, Caster and Strength base melee
Base Experience: 1,244
Quest Info:
--Creatures: kobolds, bugbears, ogre
--Traps: fire, cold

Walkthrough:

Main goal here is to pick off the Ogre Leader of the kobolds, but there are quite a few short optionals and possible rare named creatures who can drop unique named items. If you are going for the quick finish, by charging straight ahead and using the breakable boxes as a jumping point rather than breaking them, you can hop over the crates and skip a side of the dungeon.

If you work your way around the long way, beware the cold trap. A few of the side rooms have possible named bugbears. Once around you need to pull the rune levers in either wing. In the east wing is a spider ridden corridor which has a door blocked by a crate. If you have someone strong enough, they can break thru into the spider nests, and you can locate and retrieve Guard Jung’s lost badge.

Once both side levers are pulled you can head up into the now open halls. Watch out for the fire trap on the way up the slope. Slaying the kobold chief will get the attention of the Ogre Leader, Bloodknuckles, in the other room, who will come barging out to try to Ogrefy you. (Ogrefy definition – what happens to you when your head is hit by the greatclub in the one-two-three combo of an ogre)

Possible Unique Loot throughout quests from rare named and final boss: Bloodknuckle’s Loincloth, Bloodknuckle’s Smasher, Brakhash’s Axe, Bronkarz’s Cloak, Grundark’s Boots, Madoorah’s Vest, Rhakmel’s Dagger.

Stealthy Repossession

Quest Giver: Lesto Half-Price in the Wayward Lobster
Level: 2
Patron: The Free Agents (3/6/9)
Length: Medium
Entry Point: Warehouse District in the Harbor
Prereqs: none
Recommended Party: any, sneakier the better
Base Experience: 972
Quest Info:
--Creatures: kobolds
--Traps: none

Walkthrough:

Okay, so the goal of this, atleast if you are gonna follow the ‘stealthy’ guidelines, is to be sneaky. So take off that bulky armor, grab any stealth gear you may have, and get your sneak toggle ready. It’s skulking time! And remember, if ya kill too many kobold prophets, you fail.

There are a few things to know about being sneaky. First off, actions will break your sneakiness, so be careful about pulling levers, opening doors, taking swings at bad guys. Second, stay out of line of site by using obstacles like crates. Third, watch the lighting, the dimmer the lighting, the better you sneak (the little eyeballs by your feat tell you how bright the are is, more eyeballs is bad). Fourth, the higher your sneak (combo of move silent and hide) the closer you can get to bad guys without getting their attention. Fifth, no matter how sneaky you are, if the bad guy runs into you, he is going to find you. Sixth, you can climb while being sneaky.

So, to start off, skip the door to the right, there is nothing there and it’ll only get you seen. Continue north. Your going to need to pull the lever, so wait till the patrolling kobold is away from it and down the hall a little, raise the portcullis and get sneaky again. Head on in. Circle around to the south, being very careful of the two patrolling kobolds. Sneak over to the lever on the west wall, wait for a gap in the patrol, pull it and get sneaky again quick. Now sneak back out the way ya came and head north.

Take the west hall, still sneaky now. Wait for a break in the patrol and open the door. Get sneaky again quick and slip by the sleeping kobolds. Pull the lever inside and sneak on out to the east.

Stay headed east, into the big room and across the suspension bridges. Avoid the patrols. Sneak down the ramp into the little hall. There are two levers you must pull. The first is on ground level on the south wall, the second is up the ladder on the north wall. Hit these and continue down the hall, which will loop back into the big room on the ground level. Sneak through the big room past the sleeping kobolds, avoiding the patrols.

Head north down the ramp. Sneak around the corner, avoid the two patrols and pull the lever on the north wall. Quickly sneak into the south room. Grab the Eye of Khyber off of the floor by the shrine. You are finished!

….So if sneaking is really not your thing, you can do this whole thing with the clever choosing of your targets and some good crowd control with a caster. Kill all the non-prophets as you go, and leave the prophets hypnotized, fascinated, webbed, whatever. Move quickly to minimize the damage you take while being careful.

End Reward: Standard loot list choice.

Walkthrough:

Upon entering, follow the marking down deeper under the city. The first door to the left is an optional. This room has two int runes, locking a door holding a wight priest. This is a tough fight if you are appropriate level, so be prepared. Back in the main hall, the right passage leads to an optional chest. Upon opening the chest will trigger a sneak attack. Clear all the kobolds to open the exit.

Continuing on south, through the doors, the path down will split, take the right side. This will lead you to a bank of three valves. Pull all three to open all the sewer grates to allow you passage. You can hop down into the water, or run back around to the left side of the fork, both lead to the same pool of water. Swim thru the tunnels and circle back around, climb up to the top level.

Heading west, there is a shrine on the left in a side room. Use it now, because you can’t get back to it. Now head over to the down pipe. If you have a low tumble and jump skill, consider taking off your armor and shield to minimize fall damage. Use the pipes to help break your fall.

Once in the puzzle room, you need to get the light to move from one side to the other, but if the light touches the cornerstones it will release a mean spider. Be sure no one is standing on the hatch when it opens, or they could take falling damage.

Down below use the shrine if you need. One side of the square will have a chest with the key to advance, the opposite side from that has an optional room, locked, with a chest at the end. The hall up to the chest is trapped. The opposite of the shrine is the path that continues on, it can be picked or you can use the key you just picked up.

Kill the kobolds in this room to open the gate. The wooden door can be broken down to reveal a human necromancer practicing his dark arts. He is optional, but take him out for fun. Be careful, he might cast Blindness!

Continue down deeper. You get a ladder this time, yay! Continue in, straight will dead end, but a hall to the right will continue further. Caution though, the small corner room will close around you, and lock you in with 2 trogs. Be sure you move in together if you are feeling scittish.

The next door leads into a sewer junction with a shrine, a sealed door and a bunch of trogs. Clear the trogs, send someone down into the sewer water to swim to the far end. There is a valve under the water that opens the door. There is also a secret door down there, but don’t open it or you’ll get a face full of acid.

The hall continues, but send your rogue first to clear out the spike traps. The sewers fade into a natural pit. Take the mushroom road down, and beware of spiders. The bottom of the pit leads to a stonework bridge, guarded by hobgoblins. Take them out and before you enter their lair, hop off the bridge to the west to find an extra chest. Then mushroom hop and climb the ladder back to the bridge, grab your chest and head into the hobgoblin lair. The quest automatically advances to part 2.
