a Lteth Val Scribe  

Killed Him today walking through the putrid skeleton camp.. Didn't check to see what he was for till after the body rotted.. which was really fast.. like 6 minutes. oh well

I just completed the final part to the gnoll slayer and did it solo, this is what I learned...hope it makes things easier for you:

First, go kill the one eyed gnoll. When you enter Splitpaw Lair (SL), turn on your superior camo, if you have it, or any invis. I am a level 51 Ranger and have Sup Camo but I bought a Tolan's Darkwood Helm for my indoor camo before 51.



Now, with your invis, run straight into SL until you come to a set of large wooden doors, double doors. When you go through, there will be a bridge on other side. Fall off the bridge to your right. There are a couple of gnolls at bottom but np with camo. Only one way out of the "gorge" so take it. There will be a hallway to your right and a door to your left. Go through door to your left. There will be a campfire straight ahead and that is where the one eyed gnoll spawns (/Loc 600, -10). The PH was a Nisch Mal Gnoll and spawn time is 7 minutes.

On the second spawn the one eyed popped. Easy kill, gone in 60 seconds, give or take : ) Make sure you root and no nuke, he could run and start a train : ( I rooted, snared, and dot'd and sat there to watch him drop.
The only loot from the One Eye was the Gnoll Eye.

Next, go back through the door (towards the "gorge") and take the other hallway. Don't forget your invis. Follow the corridor and will open into a room with stairs going up. As you face up the stairs, there is a door to your left and hallway to your right. Take the hallway to your right. Will go into a small room with a campfire. There are two Lteth Val Gnolls here, one near the campfire and one in the corner of the room. The one in the corner (NOT nearest the campfire) is the PH.

I rooted both of them then hacked out my frustrations. The LV gnoll nearest the fire was tougher than the PH, hit for up to 48 damage, but only took me down to 97 % health, with buffs. I rerooted the PH and then dotted him with Swarm and Imm and he died without melee. Then the final mob spawned.

Once the PH was down, the Lteth Val Scribe spawned 6 minutes later and, fortunately, the other LV gnoll did not spawn. I could see how this LV Scribe could give peeps problems, but I got lucky, here is what happened...

Wasn't paying attention, thought it was PH so from opposite corner I rooted and started casting my DOT. Saw him casting and thought, "nuts!" He immediately cast [b]Tashan [/b] which stuck..Uh oh...rushed in to start hacking and kicking to try stun and interrupt spells. Didn't work well but only thing I could do. He then cast InstillInstill twice but I resisted both times. Then he went to Suffocate which I resisted as well. He then went back and casted Instill three more times and I resisted again (thank goodness). Last he started hitting but for only 6 damage each time. In total, he hit me for a total of 12 points of damage! It could have been much worse but was lucky, I think 'cause my vs. magic is not too high.

Now, for the hard part...getting out. There is a barred door at end near secret tunnel that you could get out of if it would open. I tried everything but could not get out. I spent two hours looking for an exit to no avail. Luckily I have a gate potion I keep on me for just this occassion:

This is from the Velious Shawl Quest from Thurgadin (shawl #4) and you are suppose to give to the coldain so he can get home. Well, make another and you can use it! Very cheap to make, everything is foraged so you dont have to spend 500 plat for a gate potion.

If you do not have a gate potion, you will need to take along someone who can gate you home. If you know of another way out, please post. I am sure I will be doing this again when my charges run out.

Sorry for length but wanted to be thorough. Hope this helps!
