Shackle of Rock
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
After completing the quest for your Shackle of Stone, Master Raska mentioned that you need to see Master Niska, who may be found at 456, 32 in the Court of Pain.
You say, 'Hail, Master Niska' Master Niska bows with elegance and grace. You can see her arms rippling with muscles. 'Greetings. We are the Swifttails. We are the harnessers of the elements. We are the tails of discipline. To achieve rebirth into our caste is a great honor indeed. We can be identified by our adornments. You should display that which we have given you to adorn your arms with pride. You do have your bracer, correct?' You say, 'I want the Shackle of Rock.' Master Niska strikes within inches of your snout with amazing speed. 'The shackle of rock is your interest? Then learn well our ways and prepare yourself. If the stone embraces your wrist, you are ready indeed. To complete the second rung you must find for me the [Fists of Talon].' You say, 'What are the Fists of Talon?' Master Niska points to the Court Chronicler. 'All that is known of Talon has been chronicled. Should you obtain the fists then you shall hand them to me. This shall earn you the shackle of rock.' Purchase the book named "Talon Southpaw" (identifies as "Scribed by Rinmark") from the Court Chronicler nearby at 363, 48, across the courtyard from Master Niska. It reads: Talon Southpaw
Klok Poklon may be found at +910, -70, on the first floor of the house near the castle. You say, 'Hail, Klok Poklon' Klok Poklon says 'Greetings, thirsty traveler. Pull up a stool and lay yer copper down. It's time to drink and be merry. Just don't get too merry or I will have to call the troopers.' You say, 'Who was Talon Southpaw?' Klok Poklon feints with two quick left hooks!! 'Talon Southpaw. He had the fastest hands in the empire. I remember he once beat another lizard in an arm wrestling match. The amazing thing was, while he was gripping the croak's left hand, he left-hooked him without losing his hold!! That's quick!! I hear one of his treasured hands is in the possession of a monk called Master Rinmark.' You say, 'Where is Master Rinmark?' Master Bain resides in the Court of Pain at 293, -49. Master Bain says 'Seeking Master Rinmark? He has left the Court of Pain. Gone to focus his thoughts on the elements of wind and thunder. I believe he was headed toward the Overthere. That was the last I heard of his trek.' Find "an Iksar master" in the Timorous Deep at -5055, +2790. You say, 'Hail, an Iksar master' an Iksar master is humming and chanting softly. He seems oblivious to your presence. You say, 'Are you Master Rinmark?' an Iksar master squints one eye open, then returns to his meditation. You say, 'Who was Talon Southpaw?' an Iksar master waves his arms in the air. 'The great master. His soul is the wind. He speaks to us in words of thunder. He strikes Norrath with bolts of lightning. I seek to be as he is. I have traveled the globe in search of his fists. I have found only one. Another is said to be with [Gomoz]. I shall return it when I am finished with my seasons-long meditation or perhaps I shall find a monk to [return the hand to Cabilis].' You say, 'Who is Gomoz?' an Iksar master says 'Disciple Gomoz was once Talon Southpaw's pupil. It is rumored that he has only one hand. Unfortunately, a horde of ogre raiders swiped his bones, along with others, from their place in Kurn's Tower. What those simple oafs plan to do with them is a mystery. Only one who has studied the arcane sciences could use them. They most likely used them as soup bones.' You say, 'I will return the hand to Cabilis.' an Iksar master hands you an old tattered sack. 'This shall be your proof of allegiance. Prove that you are strong with an intact mandible of a skulking brutling and the claws of a burynai excavator. Prove that you are a monk of fist and tail with a sash of an exiled human monk and the sparring gloves of a goblin pit fighter. Combined, these items make the sack full. This will earn my trust and the hand.' You receive a Tattered Sack from Rinmark, a 4-slot container. Acquire Excavator Claws (identifies as "Burynai Excavator Claws," dropped by various burynai), Intact Brutling Choppers (dropped by a skulking brutling in Warsliks Wood), Torn Sash (identifies as "Exiled Monk Sash," dropped by a young ronin in South Ro), and Goblin Sparring Gloves (dropped by a goblin pit fighter in Warsliks Wood). Combine them to create a Full Sack for Master (identifies as "property of Rinmark"). Hand this in. an Iksar master bows before you and takes a wrinkled, mummified hand from a pouch at his side. 'Take the hand. Let it rest within Cabilis and be reunited with the left.' Your faction standing with Swift Tails has been adjusted by 5. Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis has been adjusted by 1. You gain experience!! You receive Iksar Right Hand '=|-' (identifies as "Right Hand of Talon Southpaw"). Find The Great Oowomp elsewhere in the Timorous Deep at +5725, +3120. You say, 'Hail, The Great Oowomp' The Great Oowomp gestures as if casting a powerful spell. 'Come forward, adventurer! Come and [see the dancing skeleton]. I shall cast a powerful spell and bring forth this operatic, clattering jumble of bones and he shall do a fine dance for you. From the nether regions and planes beyond, I call forth this bardic, magical, rhyming, tap-dancing hunk of undead!! I am Oowomp the Great!!' You say, 'I want to see the dancing skeleton.' The Great Oowomp says 'Oh!! You wish to see the great Oowomp perform his magic!! I have studied with the grand mages and wise [McMerin clan] of Norrath, as my speech implies. I can call forth the skeleton with but a twinkling of my power and five of your gold.' Give him 5g (or any equivalent money). The Great Oowomp flings the coins into the air and they all fall neatly into his oversized coin pouch. The Great Oowomp begins to cast a spell. A dancing skeleton's body pulses with energy. You say, 'Hail, a dancing skeleton' a dancing skeleton begins to dance with a loud clatter. A cloud of dust is created. Teedle dee. Teedle doo. a dancing skeleton says 'A dancing skeleton am I.' a dancing skeleton says 'Dancing for you and dancing for me.' You say, 'Are you Gomoz?' a dancing skeleton says 'Gomoz!! Why, that is me! I was heading off to be with the elements when I was captured by this smelly ogre. Actually, he is not as smelly as most.' a dancing skeleton says 'Dancing for the great Oowomp!! Wheee!!' You say, 'Who was Talon Southpaw?' a dancing skeleton says 'Master Talon Southpaw!! He was my master. Dead, he became. Off to the elements. I keep his special hand with me. Perhaps I should have it returned. Maybe I shall find a young adventurer to [return the hand to Cabilis].' You say, 'I will return the hand to Cabilis.' a dancing skeleton says 'Yes!! Return the hand. Here it is. Missing four it is. Within the tower of past pain and torture is where the four lie. Taken by bones similar to myself.' a dancing skeleton says 'Dancing and singing is my life!!' You receive a "hand with one only a thumb" [sic] (identifies as "Palm of Talon Southpaw"). Head to Kurn's Tower and keep killing the fingered skeleton until you have looted: A Withered 2.5 Inch Finger (identifies as "Finger 3 Of Talon's Hand") A Withered 3 Inch Finger (identifies as "Finger 2 Of Talon's Hand") A Withered 3.1 Inch Finger (identifies as "Finger 1 Of Talon's Hand") A Withered 4 Inch Finger (identifies as "Finger 4 Of Talon's Hand") Combine these in the hand container to craft an Iksar Left Hand '=|-' (identifies as "Left Hand of Talon Southpaw."). Finally, an Iksar Left Hand '=|-' (identifies as "an Iksar Left Hand") drops from a Sarnak courier in the Lake of Ill Omen. Hand in the three hands to Master Niska. Master Niska shakes her head. 'Tsk, tsk, tsk. There were more of Talon's Fists than this. Only by gathering all of his fists shall you earn the shackle of rock and bring you closer to the third rung.' Master Niska shakes her head. 'Tsk, tsk, tsk. There were more of Talon's Fists than this. Only by gathering all of his fists shall you earn the shackle of rock and bring you closer to the third rung.' Master Niska removes a crudely hewn shackle. 'This is yours. It is one of the keys to the third rung. I see that you are truly a great monk and have studied your disciplines well. I have need of one such as you. I have heard of [troubles with an outlander].' Your faction standing with Swift Tails got better. Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis got better. You gain experience!! You receive 1 gold from Master Niska. You receive the Shackle of Rock. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

ok, i spent lots of time doint this damn quest, after numerous hours spent cmaping the fingerbone, the skulking brutling and the young ronin and all of the deaths caused by failed sneaks i managed to get all three hands. after turning in the combined finger bag, the misc. bag and the courier hand nishka has the nerve to tell me that this is not enough, that she wants three hands. WTF is going on...where did i go wrong...i doubt i will be doing quest again but i would like to know the mistake i made.
Anonymous
From my research you turn in the misc bag to the master and he gives you one of the fists.
Anonymous
They are located near the Overthere zone, i ran into 2 of them very close to each other.

I have asked the dancing skeleton this and he just replies about being out in the elements and being captured by Oowamp but no keywords are in his text. I'm not sure what to try next.
Anonymous
A reply to my own message goes as follows, after giving Oowamp the 5 gp to get his skeleton to appear ask him "Are you Gomoz". Then ask him "Who is Talon Southpaw". That will bring up the next text with keywords and you should be able to figure it out from there. Good luck friends, it was a nightmare for me
Anonymous
You don't even have to say Gomoz. Just hail, then say Who is Talon southpaw, then I will return the hand to cabilis. I died 5 times listening to other people about asking about gomoz and all the rest of the crap because this gave the raider in the hut time to spawn. My suggestion is just to hot key the whole thing and just press the buttons as they are needed. Saves time and exp..:-)

I have found the goblin pit fighter two times, and neither time was he in the goblin fort. From my experience, he spawns in a ruined building near another ruined building with iksar manslayers that is close to the Field of Bone zone. If you're coming from Cabilis, take rights at all the forks to get there. If you take a left at the second fork, it leads to the goblin fort, and if you take a right, it leads to the beach with the iksar manslayer building. Right before you get to the iksar building, there will be a small ruined building with three static goblin spawns. I saw the pit fighter in the corner closest to the beach. There may be a placeholder there, and he may actually pop and de-pop from time to time. Anyway, be patient. He will eventually appear.

I've been hunting this guy for a week. Just this guy. I've gained two levels right there, near the windmill. Is there a trick for making him show up? Does he show in a consistant place? Is everything there a placeholder, or just specific things? Praying for him to show when I'm there, not ten minutes after, is getting old.. heck, I've managed to complete BOTH of the other fists, and I still can't get this guy. Can't even buy it from someone else, this whole thing's depressing. I'm close to getting the scavenger hunt for the shackle two quests from now finished, it feels like.
Couriers roam between the Sarnak Fortress and the Goblin Tower. I've seen 6 or 8 of these guys in just a few days. I have NEVER seen one anywhere near the windmill.

I found the Sarnak Courier (by accident). I was fighting near the mountains, and came on a courier that I quickly dispatched and got the fist. I thought I was damn lucky, till another one in the same area (later) appeared. I do not think this is coincidence. If you are near where the river empties into the lake, find the ruins (goblins) south, and near the lake shore. Go due NE from there to near the mountain and that is where we found 2 couriers without looking for them.

There is a RARE spawn in Ill Omen called the Goblin BRAWLER after he is dead wait for like an hour and thenthe courier SHOULD spawn near ruins.
Anonymous
I haven't seen it in the bestiary. I haven't seen it anywhere in the zone. Every time I ask about it, people go 'huh?'.
Where is this elusive critter? If I just sit on a set of static spawns and wipe the floor with them, will it eventually show up, or can it only spawn in one place?

Ok the pitfighter spawns in the ruins as you headning to Field of Bone. There is a Iksar manslayer ruins right next to it and the ocean beyond it. There are 4 goblin spawns. You will need a group or a nice person to clear the spawns. The Soothsayers and the warriors are the worst of the lot. Good Luck.
Now I'm off to find the elusive skulking brutling and sarnak courier.

Where I found mine:
From cabilis, go out and down the road. Turn left. You'll find a stream right before the giant fort. This isn't the one you want to follow. Straight through the fort and out the other side is a second stream (feel free to go around the fort if going through isn't your dish). Facing the stream, fort at your back, turn left (upstream). If you go far enough, you'll hit a lake with bandits/brigands/marauders, etc. Just before that waterfall, if you go left, you'll find a set of static goblin spawns. The skulking bruteling (and the skulking runtlings that seem to be their placeholders) will wander more or less parallel to the stream through here. Every time I've seen him, he's been heading downstream and walked past me.
Mind the goblins. They get underfoot.

Yes! there are only goblins!! no skulking bruting.....2 hours just see 3 ruting pass by...

ARe you feigned when you talk to him? If not, try asking him if he is Gomoz? "Are you Gomoz?"

I have just copmpleted this quest. The Skulking Brutlings spawn (from my exp) in the area around bandit lake. I had to kill about 4 of em to get "intact brute choppers". I killed everything that moved in the area and saw 4 of em in an hour or 2. Good Luck!
Anonymous
Got the left fist from the fingerbones, but when I went to get the fist from Rinmark, I put in my 4 items, and hit combine. and got the "Those items do not combine in those quantities" error. ARGH! It must have been the wrong brutling jaw. It was intact, but perhaps it was skulking brute choppers. Damn it. Now I've got to go and collect the sash, gloves, and correct choppers again!
Then find that courier who seems to hide when I zone into the Lake of Ill Omen...

I have been all through the WW and can't seem to locate the Skulking Brutling. Anyone knows where it hangs out? or what loc is best to search? Please help!!!

I *think* that the 2 Pygmy Runtlings are plavce holders for the Pygmy Brutelings. They follow the same pathing and I see 2 Runtlings or a Runtling and a Bruteling. Never 2 Runtling and 1 Bruteling

You're saying that its to much but you gotta do it? the real dissapointment is this: look at the shackle of scale quest, it has nothing to do with the other quests! you dont need previous shackles or anything! and you gotta kill Venril Sathir, lol!
Anonymous
and the courier spawns on the lake right near the windmill, just wait for him, and check every sarnak, youll see him eventually
Anonymous
i meant does it spawn in the pit below the basement in kurns
Anonymous
I just spent 6 hours straight looking for the Courier, and about 15 hours overall. Where dies he spawn no one in the zone has ever seen him an loc would be nice of where I should hunt. Also the finger bone skeleton is in Kurns tower not the pit, read above.
Anonymous
Just to comment on your Post. He is there I have seen him, and he conned blue to me at 16. I saw him in Lake by the ruins in front of the windmill. Only problem is Goblin battlemaster killed him before I could get to him

Anonymous
He spawn's quiet often you just need to kill everything around to get him to spawn!

Finger skel spawns in the stables area in the basement of kurn's. Not in the caves under the basement. He spawns in the corner of a room with 3 stables on one side that have a different wood texture than the rest, and a wall on the other. He is quite common...for a rare. I killed him about 7 times and got all the fingers, but I think the finger length drops are just random.

Hmm, the reward shown seems to be the same as the Shackle of Stone

The bracer after Shackle of Rock isnt that good but shackle of bronze is ac6 +5 magic resist wt 0.2 not bad

I can confirm that the Young Ronin spawns in place of a derv at the camp near the southwest corner of the lake at Oasis.
Getting near Oowomp to give him the 5gp to make the Dancing Skeleton appear was quite an ordeal. I died once and had to run for my life about 20 times. I finally used Sneak and came at him from the area behind the house he is near. Oowomp is indifferent, it's the evil ogre in the house who attacks. I finally got the dancing skeleton alone, but he wouldn't talk to me at all. Any suggestions for making him give me the fist container?

they COULd at least give us a LITTLE bit of extra stats, some more agi and dex would be nice, but i wouldn't mind having only +1 charisma, its better than what we have now. Verant needs to hold a seminar in common sense.

The 4 fingers are Lore but can be traded. They are 2.5", 3", 3.1" and 4" long.

I have searched and searched and still cannot find skulking brutlings. Can anyone give a general are of where these can be found? I have found skulking brute, pygmy skulking brute, skulking runtlings

This is a tough quest that took me probably 30 hours play time. But it was fun too. I'm 25 and I started this quest at around 19. At least the next quest doesn't sound too hard. Just need to get the head of some NPC and turn it in with both the Shackles of Rock and Stone.
