This shared task (1-6 players) begins with Firiona Vie in the Army of Light headquarters camp (western side of Bloody Kithicor, just outside Highpass entrance). In order to request it, you must have completed "Charges of Treason" and "Vengeance and Deliverance."
You say, 'Hail, Firiona Vie'
Firiona Vie says 'Perhaps you would care to help us sort out a new [threat] in the Commonlands?'
You say, 'What threat?'
Firiona Vie says 'If you are willing, a new scourge has come, as though the gods believe we have room for additional challenges. One of our scouts has spotted the infamous Murkwater Regiment in the Commonlands. The Murkwater Dark Elves are the foulest of [scum], mercenary alchemists and expert assassins dedicated to the creation of vile poisons for every possible use.'
You say, 'Pond scum makes a delicious breakfast...'
Firiona Vie says 'This unit has traveled wth the Army of Obliteration in every battle up to now, and has provided lethal poisons to steep the weapons used against us, increasing our casualties and inflicting horrible infections and disease. We must put a stop to these [atrocities].'
You say, 'But your atrocities are unavoidable necessities, right?'
Firiona Vie says 'Go to the Commonlands and find Selkith Wyndvale in the refugee camp in the Commonlands tunnel. He will have come up with a plan to deal with the vile Dark Elves of the Murkwater regiment. Will you [volunteer] for this task?'
You say, 'I will volunteer, I guess.'
Firiona Vie says 'Splendid. Go at once to the Commonlands, as time is of the essence, you may use the teleportation spellbook on the corner of the map table, closest to the tent entrance.'
You have been assigned the task 'Bitter Victuals'.
Firiona has asked you undertake a difficult task. Even she was uncertain of how it could be done.
Touch the Tome of Teleportation 0/1 (Bloody Kithicor)
Click one of the books on the table in front of Firiona Vie to zone into the instance.
LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered Old Commonlands.
Speak to Selkith Wyndvale in the refugee cave in the Commonlands 0/1 (Old Commonlands)
Selkith may be found in the cave on the left side, at -1600, -2500.
You say, 'Hail, Selkith Wyndvale'
Selkith Wyndvale says 'Very well, Firiona's order shall be carried out. The Murkwater Regiment must be put out of action however, there is no time for a spoiling attack on their camp, no matter how well planned, you don't have the numbers, and any frontal attack will meet with failure. Subtler methods are called for here. Go and gather the spider glands I mentioned, and we shall put this plan into motion.'
Loot 6 Ruminaran Poison Glands from a Great Black Spider 0/6 (Old Commonlands)
Loot 6 Cheliceran Poison Glands from a Great Black Spider 0/6 (Old Commonlands)
Loot 3 Castigaran Poison Glands from a Great Black Spider 0/3 (Old Commonlands)
Selkith was full of interesting information about spiders and their poisons. At least that makes this task more of a gather and stir thing. Making poisons can be dangerous to the untrained. The ruminaran poison glands need to be handled carefully. Castigaran glands are seated deep within the spider's body, so some careful dissection may be required.
Numerous Great Black Spiders can be found around the area outside the tunnel in the Commonlands. They hit for a max ~2,000, cast the spell "Venomous Spittle", and have a good amount of hps. They drop the poison glands very commonly.
Venomous Spittle: Single Target, Poison (-575)
1: Decrease HP when cast by 7500
2: Blindness(1)
Deliver 6 Ruminaran Poison Glands to Selkith 0/6 (Old Commonlands)
Deliver 6 Cheliceran Poison Glands to Selkith 0/6 (Old Commonlands)
Deliver 3 Castigaran Poison Glands to Selkith 0/3 (Old Commonlands)
Speak with Selkith Wyndvale 0/1 (Old Commonlands)
Selkith Wyndvale says 'The presence of the Murkwater camp means that Lanys T'Vyl means to use them in the battle for Kithicor Forest. We must strike them first and prevent them from reaching Kithicor. My plan is simple, to treat them to their own medicine as a way of discouraging their tactics. Take these vials of S'tauna poison and use them on their victuals chests, which will be in their camp.'
Kill 5 Murkwater Assassins 0/5 (Old Commonlands)
Insert each of your S'tauna Poison Vials into a Victuals Chest found in the supply huts 0/6 (Old Commonlands)
Hunt down and kill Aithoris Nightstalker 0/1 (Old Commonlands)
The Murkwater Regiment sentries are wary and dangerous. Aithoris Nightstalker, the dark elf master of assassins, is in charge of guarding the Murkwater camp. The poison mixes best with solid food, not liquids, so poison the food in the chests in the Murkwater Regiment camp with the S'tauna poison.
The assassins, chests, and named for the above three steps can all be found in one camp. Their approximate location is (195, -355, 23) -- the central area of the Commonlands, west-northwest of the tunnel exit. They are on par with the spiders you previously had to kill in terms of difficulty.
The Murkwater assassins cast the spells "Chains of Binding" and "Poison Dart":
Chains of Binding: Targeted AE 45', Unresistable (0)
2: Decrease Movement by 45%
3: Decrease Attack Speed by 45%
Poison Dart: Single Target, (-450)
1: Decrease Hitpoints by 1000 per tick
2: Decrease Attack Speed by 50%
3: Decrease Mana by 500 per tick
4: Stun(0.00 sec)
5: Decrease Movement by 30%
6: Increase Poison Counter by 16

Blinding Smog: Targeted AE 150', Unresistable (0)
1: Blindness(1)

Aithoris Nightstalker has been slain by _____!
Aithoris Nightstalker's corpse falls to the ground.
Speak with Selkith Wyndvale 0/1 (Old Commonlands)
You say, 'Hail, Selkith Wyndvale'
Selkith Wyndvale says 'Well done, it seems the plan has been put in motion. You've done your job, no doubt the Murkwater assassins who can still stand after they've had breakfast will soon be on sick call with a terrible illness. Do not feel ill at ease at being the instrument of this form of justice; it is proper and fitting that those who slay with poison shall themselves perish by the poison. However, do not tell Firiona Vie. She would be most shocked by the method I have chosen.'
The survivors of the Murkwater Regiment, if there are any after their next meal, will learn what it means to be poisoned, just as they have been poisoning others for so many years.
