ok u guys beware of killing by the two guards if they con good to u. ojne was grey to me with my 51 sk i wantted to check it out. ok i pulled him then after about 1 min or so he was down to 30% health. there were 5 goons attacking me i fd then after a min got up the death came 1 more finished me off:(
Lol these little SK's made great kites for my dark elf necro, you can knock donw about 4 at a time just roaming in the canyon and into the temples...great exp because you kill multiple blues fast and non stop...only problem is now my big golem friend in ot wants to crush me into a fine paste, sigh wish i paid attention to my faction hits more.
As far as roleplaying goes, is this an example of one of the "experiments" the wierd sathir guy (or whoever) in the kunark manual story created? I noticed the same thing with drachnids (a dark elf and spider) and these things are ikkys mixed with a scorpion. I've never fought these guys so just wondering if anyone happens to know.
None of the scorpikis were able to see my invisible troll SK while I wandered around down there. And they were apprehensive when my invis dropped (same con as the Danak outpost). The only scorps that were KoS are the 2 named at the SW end up on top of the chasm wall (inbetween 4 columns).
There's around 15-25 in the chasm, and probably another 25-50 in the various temple tunnels. (There are 4 temples, EQAtlas only shows 3 of the location.) The higher level named were all inside the temples and I didn't seem them wander outside.
Since I'm on VS faction, I didn't go around killing any (besides, they were all red cons to my level 31 SK).
I a 41 Iksar warrior with FBSS, SSoY, LSoEE and not that good armor took one of these at half health. I think it was mostly because i never saw him cast a spell, i think they come in different classes. They dont have many Hp's and the max i think he hit me for was like 75. They are fairly easy to kill with grp also. Its sad i was doing the last part for my Trooper Scale helm and the fool came up and hit me. I started to run then figured I have sow so i will try and stick it out. I ended up kicking his **** and he started to run with about 35%hps left so...i think they are easy.

these things con blue to a lvl 35, nonetheless, if u fall in their pit, u run! they can harm touch for bout 300, and the named ones do moer and will just make u squeal!
Had my 32 wizzie try and pullone to my full group. he HT from the bottom of the pit for 341 almost killed me. needless to say we went back to the ledge hehee
Thinking these things were inspired by the guardians of the bridge to Utnatapishtim the Faraway from the Epic of Gilgamesh ... described something similar of a melding of a human with a scorpion ...
And I guess the Iksar thought it was a good idea or something :P

Level range is correct here, as far as cons go. Other sites may refer to the level that one should go after them, since these guys are ShadowKnights they are quite tough for their level, Personally I tried one once with my 35Druid, coned blue, In the end I had to run to avoid any unpleasantness.

My lvl 19 iksar monk has only taken one bad hit with venril sathir... killed one ogre raider cuz I was bored waiting for the bloated belly... even before that they were red/scowl... the named ones are amiable
i want ot more about these guys, were they made by the same guy who made the sarnaks? i wish they droppped lore books, or lore books that spawn on the ground or somting
These guys are allys with the Troopers of Cabilis (iksar warriors) and the Swiftails (iksar monks) they give out the trooper scale armor which is the iksar equivalent of crafted. The named ones anyway.
These guys ARE NOT allies. It's the two brothers at the top of the chasm, kicking back under a ruin/shelter that are allies. The Scorpiki in the chasm don't like me at all, but the brothers have helped me get a full set of Trooper Scale Armor.
Not so tough if your a Bard. Just charm one, get him to fight another one.. and watch them both waste their Harm Touches on each other. Try not to laugh at them too much.
Actually a yellow con is HIGHER than you. There for he would be at least level 30 to your lvl 29 Magician. I know one of the EQ manuals said that Yellow was lower, but I've been playing this game since the day it game out (Original EQ) and Yellow is highr, Black/white is even with you and blue is below you. Read what the con tells you and you will see that it will "mob the floor with you" when yellow.
