Quest Giver: Loghan d’Deneith in the northern marketplace by the spire
Level: 6 party
Patron: House Deneith (4/8/12)
Length: medium
Entry Point: through the quest giver
Prereqs: none
Recommended Party: standard. Prefer 2 crowd control casters.
Base Experience: 1,630
Quest Info:
--Creatures: hobgoblins, bugbears
--Traps: none

Walkthrough:

Return to the Gladewatch outpost. Last time you were here, it was kobolds assaulting the base. Now things a quite a bit meaner.

Unlike Kobold Assault, if any enemy makes it into the Outpost, you lose. Quest Failure. Please come again. So name of the game is to keep the entries into the fort very secure, and fight outside. There are two ways into the outpost. The big main gate, and the little dog door. One capable melee should be able to hold the dog door, especially if a caster helps out with crowd control now and again, everyone else should watch the main gate.

Good Luck!

As you get to the top rooms, you will see the new ogre leader. As you move in to bust his butt, a couple of his trollish cronies break out of the rooms behind you. Take them all out, and maybe check out those four rooms again, just to be sure no one is home.

Entry Point: just outside the Bogwater
Prereqs: none
Recommended Party: standard
Base Experience: 650
Quest Info:
--Creatures: elf, human, dwarf, halfling
--Traps: fire

Walkthrough:

Very linear quest, but not easy, even as short as it is. Quite a few casters, so be prepared and wary. Watch out for the fire trap at the intersection

Postscript and author’s editorial: This is probably the most fiercely debated Roleplay quest in the game. You are hired by a silver flame agent to kill good aligned followers of another faith. Sometimes the character you are playing has actually chosen this other faith as part of their roleplay, yet because some rewards are favor based… well you get the idea. Also, it is House P favor as opposed to Silver Flame favor. Go figure.

End Reward: standard loot choice

Head southeast first, and clear out the first troll bunch. Be sure to grab the quest items after each boss.

Now head west and work your way around the forest. There is a hidden locked chest in the woods around the hobgoblin camps, there is also a tough to get to chest in the gargoyle caves.

Once you have all the items, and have completed the optionals you want, head back to Falcor and give the items to his assistants. Then speak to Falcor and he will open a portal to a giant’s outpost. Hop on through, clear out the giants and call it a day.

Taming the Flames

Quest Giver: Master Thorpe in the Ever Full Flagon
Level: 6 Solo/Party
Patron: House Kundarak (5/10/15)
Length: long
Entry Point: down the ladder just east of the House K auctioneer.
Prereqs: none
Recommended Party: standard, fire resist a must have.
Base Experience: 1,660
Quest Info:
--Creatures: fire mephits, fire elementals, earth elementals, air mephits, hell hounds, human necromancer
--Traps: spikes

Walkthrough:

Okay, the dreaded Taming the Flames made easy. This quest is on the least favorite list of many adventurers, but with a good fire resist spell from a 7th level cleric or wizard, it is really not too bad.

A couple of things to know before you get going. There are a few doors and narrow hall points with spike traps. Have your rogue be ready for them. Also, if you end up behind or needing to get through a blocking fire wall (not the level 4 spell kind) you have to kill the nearby mephits to get it to drop.

Start off heading towards the south hall. There are a couple of tough mephit and earth elemental fights down this hall. Crowd control is helpful here. Hypnotic pattern has worked well if the party uses it intelligently. Once you get through the doors, you will be in a large room with a big lava pit in the middle. The easiest way to deal with this room is to have everyone move to the top of the ledge, but not down the ramp. Have one person (preferably with evasion and fire resist) hop across to the chest (you can see it down a little ways). Open the chest, grab the key, and run back up to the party. A firewall will drop, dispatch the mephits and head up to the top of the main room.

Now head up the north hall on the top level. Choose either right or left at the intersection. They both circle around. Move together, because there is a point where a couple of firewalls will drop around you. Once you reach the opposite end with the locked door, use the key to open it, dispatch the mephits to open the fire seal above the ladder across the hall.

Head down the ladder and speak to Fulvio. He tells you about the madman and asks you to retrieve the scroll. Shrine up and head one out, going back the way you came to the main chamber. Hit the lever at the top, and hop down to the bottom level. Move through that doorway, clearing as you go and watching for spike traps.

When you reach the end fight, be wary, he likes to cast Slay Living. If you have a deathward or deathblock item, now is a good time to use it. Kill the Necromancer, grab the scroll, return to Fulvio. There is one last mephit fight above Fulvio’`s ladder.

Assuming you have been killing as you go, you should now have the quest completed. Congrats!

End Reward: Standard end reward.

In the huge room be sure to destroy eggs on the mid levels, on top of the
platforms. There are two levers on the mid level as well, and a 3rd lever on the bottom, these three are needed to open the door down bottom.

Prereqs: none
Recommended Party: standard, haste is nice
Base Experience: 940
Quest Info:
--Creatures: wights, wraiths, skeletons
--Traps: blades, darts

Walkthrough:

Once in you have a 30 minute timer, so be sure you all go in together and get ready to go. The time allotted is plenty, but there isn’t time for major mess ups or much stopping. Keep the rogue ahead in hallways to watch for traps.

First room, 4 levers in each corner, each lever spawns undead.

Second room, small walled maze, 3 levers and a hidden shrine. The maze is not difficult, but stick together and kill as you go, to prevent any major mishaps.

Third room, two valves uptop and door below, have first five run straight through, pulling most stuff down, have a sneaky type go last and move around the top to pull the valves… or just a high AC tank who can pull valves while being shot at. Move through.

Fourth room, door slams shut, clear the wings.

Fifth room, swim under to both sides, pulling the lever will have gates block you in and undead spawn all around. Work together. (optional, cast a jump spell on lever puller and have them pull lever and hop out of room.) There are secret doors on both sides as well, one with a shrine, the other with a chest.

Fifth hall is two levers low and two levers high both on opposite sides in the hallways, clear them to continue down to the last room.

Defeat Valak to get the book. Now it’s up to you to give a book of dark magic to a little girl….

End Reward: maybe something… maybe not

--Traps: none

Walkthrough:

Light the Soul Locks to release Delera. The Quest is linear, with no side quests, though there are a few optional kills, including the soul lock guardians.

Couple of notes, killing the guardians before opening the soul locks is usually smart, so you don’t have too much to fight at once. Also, many sarcophagi will release undead, so don’t break up the main room unless you want to do some extra fighting.

End Reward: Standard Loot choices

Return to Grust to Advance.
