This is a non-progression task. It is a group mission (3-6 players) that begins with Bianca Galbraith (click for map image) in the Norrath's Keepers camp of the Lavastorm Mountains.

Pre-requisites for requesting:
- Minimum level 59
- Minimum "indifferent" faction with Norrath's Keepers

Hail her to get a quest selection window pop-up.

You have been assigned the task 'Splitting the Storm'.

Time is of the utmost importance! Your help is needed to rescue someone who has been taken by the minions of Yar`Lir. When she was taken is not entirely clear, but if you do not act quickly she will be tortured and possibly killed.

Begin your search in the dojo within the isles of Thundercrest before it is too late!

Note: This group mission scales to your group's level. The highest is 68+, outlined here.







Touch the portal to the Thundercrest Isles 0/1 (The Broodlands)

The entrance will be marked on your compass (entered in the northwestern part of the Broodlands).



Navigate your way through the Dojo to find the hostage 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Lila Trulan can be found at /loc -400, -220, 295. This is in the main temple (center temple due north of the zone-in point), southeasternmost room (in the room that leads into the maze area of the zone).

2x "Goblin Captor" are next to her.

Get rid of the captors standing in your way 0/2 (Thundercrest Isles)

They each hit for a max ~1,300 and are stunnable and mezzable. One of them is pure melee; the other is a Wizard and casts a lot. Both proc standard goblin spells:

Goblin Hamstring: Single Target, (-17)
1: Decrease Movement by 25%

Goblin Headbutt: Single Target, (-17)
1: Stun (3.00 sec)



Speak with the hostage, Lila Trulan, and let her know she's OK 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Task Window Says: Something about that encounter didn't sit right. It was almost too easy. But for now you have more important things to worry about such as the hostage that is now under your care. You must speak with her to find out exactly where she needs to go and let he know that she must follow you back if she is to get out alive.

Hail her twice.

You say, 'Hail, Lila Trulan'

Lila Trulan says 'Thank you so much for rescuing me. I don't know how much longer I would have been able to hold out. Let's get out of here! Just let me know when it's safe to follow you or if I should stop and wait.'

She will do as you say:

You say, 'Follow me'

Lila Trulan says 'Thanks so much for rescuing me! Let's get out of here!'

You say, 'Follow me'

Lila Trulan says 'I'm already following you!'

You say, 'Stop'

Lila Trulan says 'Ok, stopping for a moment. Let's not wait too long, I'm worried they'll find me again.'

You say, 'Stop!'

Lila Trulan says 'I'm already stopped! Can't you see I'm not moving?'



Get Lila Trulan back to the entrance isle 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Task Window Says: She was very thankful that someone was here to rescue her and even though she is worried there may still be something out there to get her, she is confident in your abilities that you can lead her to safety. You must venture back to the entrance of the isles where she can safely return to the mainland below.

There is no respawn between the entrance and the path taken to her location. Lila Trulan follows well, but somewhat slowly. When you cross the bridge down to the entrance, you'll be ambushed by 2x "Goblin Captor" mobs.



Get rid of the Captors standing in your way 0/2 (Thundercrest Isles)

Task Window Says: You knew it was too good to be true! Two more of the Captors showed up just as you were about to leave. You let the other two know how powerful you really were; maybe it's time to do so again. But watch out, you don't want them to hurt the girl.

These two are of the same difficulty as previous.



Speak with the hostage Lila Trulan and let her know she is ok 0/1 (Thundercrest Isles)

Hail her to complete the task.

Say, 'It is safe to follow me.'

Say, 'Stop'

Before she departs, she gives a quick kiss on the cheek to each of your party members. You have saved the life of an otherwise helpless being for no other reason than to show the captors that they cannot take hostages like this without consequences. Their penalty was death. Well done!

You have been given: Norrath's Keepers Token
You have gained 56 Radiant Crystals.

timer on the Creator was at 18m so i did this instead.

The Dojo is the bottom room in the middle of the large temple. You have to work around to the top and go in that way.

Captors FLURRY as well as summon. They don't see invis. They are pretty easy to kite if necessary.

A lot of the zone can be bypassed with invis.

Bugged, and very tough
# Aug 04 2005 at 12:07 AM Rating: Decent
Final step of the mission is bugged. Instead of getting 2 more captors as mentioned in the mission description, you get 2 stacked on top of each other to the left and right of the bridge door, for a total of 4 captors. I am unsure if you can split threm, as they seem to aggro on Lila and her "master" immediately. Captors are rootable, but not mezzable or pacifiable, and root tends to wear out in about 2 ticks. Summons, partially slowable, hits for 1300s. Doing this step with an average class-distributed group is very difficult, even for qvic geared folks. Even dealing with the 2 captors earlier is no picnic if you don't have a monk or bard. This mission, IMO, can be tougher than any of the Nest ones; that seems skewed to me.
