Ok, here is some info for you, that it doesn't say. When you hail the ghost, you have to show him your ring, he then goes on giving more info..and then Icefang comes out and starts running..as long as your not KoS to coldain, Icefang won't attack you (and who can do this quest being KoS to coldain). So blah blah, follow icefang, the ry`gorr that pop, including Pox whats his face really suck...our 57 necro couldn't pull him solo and ended up dying, i traned the rest to IC =p, mystics/oracles spawn too and sow themselves, so they can be a real pain in the ***... hum..what else..oh, the Emissary, keep him alive at all cost..we were doing the invasion thing for step 5, and in between chain spawming Scarbrow the emissary poped over by the CC zone out, Rotbone (our necro) made sure no one killed him and then rodrick spawmed, killed him. we hung around for a couple more minutes, i died in one spawing on Scarbrow and meanwhile rodrick had spawned again, so he kited him over to near the coldain camp and was just FD until i got rezed, then we killed him and i got the head too..very good luck. BTW, Hold onto teh dagger he drops if you wanna go past the 8th ring, oh, and Rodrick is VERY MR, Rot had to use his pet to kill him, only other thing that worked was Lifetap. All his other crap was resisted. Not a very hard fight though, for me (55 war). Well, thats about it...oh, and btw, it's been less than a week sence Xev went down, if any of you are interested on why/when teh Emissary spawned..so i dunno. Well, good hunting, maybe they could expand the text on this quest more, it says nothing about showing your ring to the ghost for example..and we for one thought there was a note we were missing when he ask for "proof". Alright, good luck with this.

Coldain Ring #6: Mithril Coldain Insignia Ring
| Quest Started By: | Description: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
At the end of the previous quest, Garadain mentioned a favor.
You say, 'What favor?' Garadain Glacierbane says 'For several seasons there has been an unsolved mystery in this land. Not far from here an elite team of Coldain and their trained wolves were gathered to make a strike at the Kromrif. No one knows just what became of our strike force. Bring me proof of their fate and proof that whoever was responsible for their loss is no more.' To find proof of their fate, your journey begins with Korrigain, located in the southwestern corner of the zone. He generally spawns around 9 PM gametime at the dwarven hut near Icefang, the named dire wolf. You say, 'Hail, Korrigain' Korrigain says 'Who dares disturb my rest? If ye be a friend of the mighty Coldain, then show me proof and I shall tell you of my plight. If not, then be on your way.' Give him your Obsidian Coldain Insignia Ring. Korrigain says 'Many seasons ago I stood here in life with my comrades, the best warriors Thurgadin had to offer. Along with our faithful wolven army we were poised to eliminate the Kromrif presence in the region. Somehow, the enemy was made aware of our plans and just before our attack, a group of Ry'Gorr oracles charmed our wolves, forcing them to tear down their own masters. We were caught by surprise and died a savage death.' During the conversation with Korrigain, Icefang comes out of his hut and stands next to Korrigain, who then proceeds to buff his loyal doggie sidekick. Korrigain says 'All that remains from that battle is my loyal Icefang. He will not rest until I am avenged. Follow and watch after him. He alone knows where our attackers lie and he cannot overcome them by himself. May Brell bless you with success, farewell.' Icefang then runs generally east to the orc hut near the bridge to Iceclad Ocean. His route is not direct and his speed is around Spirit of Wolf speed. Wandering orcs and giants will aggro on him, so you must keep him alive en route. When he gets to the orc hut, two to four of "An oracle of Ry`Gorr" spawn, along with Poxbreath Yellowfang, their leader. You have slain Poxbreath Yellowfang! Your faction standing with RyGorr Clan Snow Orcs got worse. Your faction standing with Citizens of Froststone got better. You gain experience!! --You have looted a Note from Kromrif.-- The note reads: Commander Yellowfang, Your handling of the Coldain elite guard was outstanding. It will take the stumpymen many years to recover from that slaughter. My superiors are well pleased. Your loyalty and service to the Kromrif have sealed an alliance between our peoples that we shall honor from this day forward. The bulk of this treasure is for you to distribute among your men as you see fit. We ask that you provide well for your coldain informant, Rodrick Kotrad, as your success would have been impossible without his cooperation. Surikka Squatnot The coldain traitor is really one Rodrick Tardok, who spawns in the small tower outside the northwest corner of the Ry`Gorr Keep. Every once in a while a Ry`Gorr Emissary will spawn there. Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'Where is that sniveling little worm?' Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'He was supposed to be here hours ago!' Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'I don't know why the chief tolerates this insolent fool. If he is discovered he'll betray us for sure.' Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'If he makes me wait another minute I'll gut him myself...' Ry`Gorr Emissary says 'Ahh, good to see you my little friend, I was beginning to think something had happened to you.' If you leave him alone for a few minutes, Rodrick will spawn inside the tower. You have slain Rodrick Tardok! Your faction standing with RyGorr Clan Snow Orcs got worse. Your faction standing with Citizens of Froststone got better. -- You have looted Rodrick's Head -- -- You have looted Dirk of the Traitor -- Keep the Dirk, as it is used in the 9th quest in this series. Turn Rodrick's Head, the Note from Kromrif, and your Obsidian Coldain Insignia Ring to Garadain. Garadain Glacierbane says 'Excuse me, ______, aren't you forgetting something?' Garadain Glacierbane says 'Excuse me, ______, aren't you forgetting something?' Garadain Glacierbane lowers his head and mutters, 'At least there will be some closure for their families, thanks to you. The Ry`gorr will pay for this with their lives! I will ask you to help us in the invasion of Ry`gorr keep, but first I have a delicate [mission] I was hoping you'd handle.' Your faction standing with Coldain could not possibly get any better. Your faction standing with Dain Frostreaver IV got better. Your faction standing with Kromzek got worse. Your faction standing with Kromrif could not possibly get any worse. You gain experience!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Guess it is my luck..... i got 3 rodick's head while i doing the quest along there... all within 6 hours...
Anonymous
I noticed 4 "rygorr avengers" spawn and run around a little before emissary spawn twice in about 2 hours time. I tried to kill an avenger, but they are totally mr/fr/cr and cant be charmed. Oh well, I finaly got everyone to leave emisary alone for 5 mins and got rod's head, so Im happy.
Anonymous
I posted the previous message.. When Emiss spawned, Oracle or Chief were not up.
Anonymous
hehe me again. To make the Rodrick/Emissary spawn, kill Chief Ry'gor outside the fort. From what I understand, this will make Avengers spawn. The avengers are *tough*. Totally MR/CR/FR. I'd let them despawn.
20 mins after the Avengers spawn, and despawn, Emisary will spawn.

Ok, I've been splitting the Emissary/Rodric spot with 3 other people over the last 8 RL days. Neither has spawned ONCE!
What do you have to do?
We've tried protecting the Messenger till he finishes his run, that didn't work. Checking shows that most of the time the Chief is up, along with the others in the temple. And yes, we've repeatedly given the 5th ring to Korrigan.
Obviously there is a trigger, if he were on an 8+day spawn timer, the uber guilds on our server wouldn't have hundreds with the 8th ring.

Rodrick is extremely magic/cold/fire resistant... but he's not savage dire wolf resistant. :)
If you can charm up a savage dire wolf he'll make short work of the moody little dorf.

Wasn't one of them the ones who dropped the oracle shield?
Now its just him and whatever orcs are there = /

wish i could make him talk maby if i give the ghost the kinf from the trator
No, you hand him your coldain insignia ring from the 5th quest and he will tell you the story and the wolf will respawn and go to the ry'gorr camp. He immediately gives it back to you after you give it to him, then starts to talk.
Anonymous
yah, handing him the ring workss, BUT make damned sure that you have a free inventory slot if you do that (or you won't get your ring back)

We watched the EMissary for about an hour and Rodrik never spawned.
Rodrick will spawn in the little shed and stand there for a while, then despawn. He is VERY magic resistant, and my 447 point calefaction spell (fire based) was resisted except for a couple of times and even then was practically no damage to speak of. Swarm and Immolate line totally resisted. I ended up zoning when I tried to solo the little bugger as a 47th level druid.
The only way we killed him was to get a tank involved. We cast damage sheilds and Chloro on him, then kept him alive while he beat Rodrick down to a pulp. He does try to run when he gets low on health, but you can't snare so make the best of it and take him down as fast as you can.

How do you get the emissary to spawn? My best theory is the messenger is the emissaries PH, can anyone confirm that?
Anonymous
I cant confirm this 100% but I've found that Korrigan spawns at midnight.. if you give him the ring to trigger the icefang/poxbreath part of the quest then the emmisarry will show up at noon the next day. I have done this twice to get Rodrick to spawn and it has worked both times, so im allmost definate.

I don't think you're right. I triggered the Icefang-part twice last night without any signs of emissary or Rodrick the next day.

do you give your obsidian ring as proof ?
Anonymous
Give a Obsidian Coldain Insignia Ring to Korrigain as proof.
Korrigain begins to talk and Obsidian Ring is returned.

What proof does Korrigan want in order to start talking?
Anonymous
Ghost wont respond to anything i can think of and I dont remember if i was given any special things to say to him .
Anonymous
What is the proof you need to get him to start talking?
Icefang, the named Coldain wolf, is in one of two huts between the entrance down into Kael and the southern cliff along the shore. From Kael, if you head south-southeast, you should see a large open area where the Ulthork walrus roam. Near this field, to the east, is where Icefang is usually found inside one of the small buildings.
