Be forewarned that this quest will lower your faction with the dark bargainers. In the Night Keep, talk to Hukulk. He mentions [Helm of Hukulk], and upon asking him about the helm, he refers to a Lynuga who broke his heart. Hukulk asks that you go to Neriak to see who Lynuga meets with, possibly kill them, and return the head of her lover and the Bracers of Love that he gave to her. In return, Hukulk will give you an extra Helm of Hukulk. I am told you need to give him both the bracers and the head (presumably of Lumpkin) to get the helm. Lynuga can be occasionally found floating in the water near the entrance to Guk. She won't mention anything about the [Happy Love Bracers] but if you ask her about them, she will tell you she gave the ugly things to her boyfriend, Guard Lumpin, in Neriak and that the relationship was over. Lumpkin will tell you that Ratraz now has the bracers.
Ratraz is a bouncer in the Maiden's Fury in Neriak. You have to kill Ratraz. If he runs while your fighting him, and you're a troll or ogre, be aware that you may have to duck while chasing him through some of the lower arches in Neriak, so you will have to reclick your autoattack. I haven't had anyone jump in on that battle yet and I've let him run pretty far before. From him you will get the happy love bracers (AC 1 bracers, I'd use them just for the name alone if they weren't so lousy), his head, and a warclub. Watch out! You do NOT want to give his head to Hukulk! Lumpkin was the one who stole Lyguna from Hulkulk, not Ratraz! Either put his head in a seperate container or destroy it. The warclub is a decent non-magic blunt weapon that you can sell for quite a few plat. Ratraz is about 19th level.
Now you need to get Lumpkin's head. This is more of a trick. He is found in the Foreign Quarter of Neriak. He runs around a couple of the back rooms. Attack him when he is as deep in these rooms as he gets! He is also about 19th and tries to run when hurt enough. If he gets far enough a high level shadow knight jumps in and you're basically doomed. From him you get his head and a rusty halberd.
Take his head and the Happy Love Bracer's back to Hululk to get your prize, the Helm of Hukulk AC5 +3 strength +3 agility, wearable by evil races only helmet and some money (even up to some plat!), experience, and Faction. Note about factions. If your standing is too low with shadowknights (or perhaps if you are not a troll shadowknight), you will get nothing for
turning in the quest items to Hulkulk.
