This quest begins with Yurddle the Caretaker in Katta Castellum (location approximately -600, -1710, 10).

There are three reward items. You can do one part or all of this quest, depending on which items you want:

Scimitar of Ethereal Energy
Staff of Ethereal Energy
Warhammer of Ethereal Energy



You say, 'Hail, Yurddle the Caretaker'

Yurddle the Caretaker says 'Greetings stranger. It's nice to have visitors of the living sort. Seems like my work here is never done. When I'm not having to dig fresh graves and keep the mausoleum clean I'm having to refill old graves that have been dug up by the [restless dead] or them disrespectful [grave robbers]!'

You say, 'What grave robbers?'

Yurddle the Caretaker says 'It is unfortunate that there are so many disrespectful people that would rob the graves of the dead. The citizens of Katta Castellum do not commit such crimes against their ancestors but thieves from Shadow Haven, greedy Vampyres, and even members of the traitorous Inquisition seeking old combine relics have been caught digging up the dead. I have [lists of belongings] that have been stolen, it would please the spirits of Katta Castellum greatly if these items are returned.'

You say, 'Tell me about this list of belongings'

Yurddle the Caretaker says 'Here are some lists of items that have been stolen from the crypts of the mausoleum in the past. You may bring each crypts set of four missing items to me separately. It is not necessary to find all three sets of items before returning but any set you do return must be complete to please the spirits. Perhaps you should ask around the shops in the other cities of Luclin if the merchants there have seen the missing items.'

You receive a List of Stolen Items.

Missy McElle drops Gold Embroidered Kilt
# Dec 10 2001 at 5:10 PM Rating: Decent
Missy McElle is found in a corner of Fungus Grove's outpost section (the section before the one with Ebben's tavern, her loc is approx -1130, -800). She dropped the Gold Embroidered Kilt from the Shoen Malicus crypt, and not the ring from Talikar/Talimar as I hoped. She was light blue to 56, no faction hits.

Ornate Combine dagger dropped off named female bandit (forget her name, think her last name is Slither) in the paludal caves. It's a rare drop as I'd killed her several times with nothing dropping. She spawns just outside the camp with Yelloweyes, close to Shadowhaven.

Whew...finally got her, so ignore my posts below. Her name is Maricella Slithra and she spawns at -1424, 1374. She has a placeholder bandit, but she finally spawned for me. She dropped the dagge the first time, and I could see her wielding it.

Thanks for the update hee hee I kept killing yelloweyes and the bandit next to it.. and all the others in the camp but i didnt kill the one by himself on the ledge. I came back and 9 spawns later I got Maricella 3x.. 3rd time she dropped dagger. BTW you get faction hits when you kill her:

+Haven Defenders
-Haven Smugglers
-Lake Recondite Bandits

I am hoping smugglers isnt a big deal to lose because the bandits in marus give that hit too and i'm going to kill a lot of them. Its kind of ironic that shes the only one in the zone that gives a hit for lake recodite bandits though i guess they dont care about all the other ones.

and it was called Ancient Ornate Combine Dagger for me.. was 3/20 and went in range i forget if any other stats.

Where exactly does she spawn? I went to the area of the first band camp outside of Shadowhaven, but never saw her. Kept killing a bandit that looked to be about where you were talking about but it was always just a normal bandit.

She spawns a little bit outside the camp, on the ledge on the west side. (the opposite side you would be on if you were passing through the caves to get to the Cat city)

Hmmm...that is where I am hanging out but have been there a while and not seen her. As soon as I come out of Shadowhaven, there is a camp. I go to the left ledge(on the west side) and look for her but do not see her. I have travelled that ledge between the first camp and the second and never see her. Does she have a placeholder and I just never happen to have her spawn?

I killed Ebben Today. He conned light blue at level 55. None of the other mobs in the bar joined in. No faction hit at all. He dropped an Antique Platinum Medal. I have the portrait as well. That makes two. When he died he listed 2 other names. No doubt they hold the other items from the Rainen Talimar crypt. These names are.... Rolkim and Missy. If you find him please post here.

:( I tried to get more info out of this guy.. I asked him about the 12 items by name, I played around with Talikar vs Talimar spelling.. offered him money.. about every phrase I could think of, I even gave him 100pp ( was thinking of giving him 1000 gold too) no response.. I even tried to buy him a drink but he gave them back.. so if hes one of these mobs that gives back items we could experiment a little w/o chance of losing stuff. I didnt have my Faded portrait on me or i would have given it to him to see what he'd do. He's light blue to 57 i was thinking of killing him too but every time I try that in Luclin so far I get surprised by the mob and new abilities so i'm a little hesitant to attack something w/4 other mobs in the same room.

oh well. maybe you give him the faded portrait and something happens.. and this will be like the 9th ring quest where the first item gets you the second, etc.

I handed him the portrait and he gave it back.. like he did with the drinks i bought him. I think that makes him a quest mob and you have to find something to give to him but im not 100% certain.

translated list
# Dec 07 2001 at 12:17 AM Rating: Excellent
I translated the list the best I could, since my Combine is not very good at all, so the names may be off, but you can get the gist of things.

Aeridia Family Signet Ring
Sealed Golden Scroll Tube
Faded Silver Embroidered Robe
Tarnished Copper Runed Wand

* Raien Talimar's crypt:

Talimar Family Signet Ring
Faded Portrait of a Lady (bought in Shadow Haven)
Antique Platinum Medal
