I did this quest at lvl 6 thanks to some serious buffs from a high lvl friend. I was kinda disappointed in the reward though. The book doesn't do me any good right now, so it's just gonna sit in the bank and rot till I decide to use it...

Thadres Thyme may be found in McQuaid's Dark Stout at +105, -200. She's not on Find, but close to Donald McQuaid who's on Find. She's a Qeynos rogue on Circle of Unseen Hands, though negative faction with her doesn't seem to prevent talking to her and obtaining the quest.
You say, 'Hail, Thadres Thyme' Thadres Thyme says 'Hello, ______! It's hard to believe just how cold it gets here! It really has been wearing me down. Especially after the [journey] from Qeynos.' You say, 'What journey?' Thadres Thyme says 'I have been traveling the face of Norrath to unravel the mystery of why my beloved [brother] attacked a group of traveling bards. He didn't survive the fight. It's been so long, I can't really remember what he looked like! I miss him so much . . . Now all I have are his [diary] and some brewing recipes he sold before his death.' You say, 'Who was your brother?' Thadres Thyme says 'My brother was Delius Thyme. I think he was a great man. ______, have you ever lost someone close? I don't know if I can ever forgive myself for letting him travel on his own after his sanity began to fade. Oh, Delius, please forgive me!' You say, 'What about his diary?' Thadres Thyme says 'The diary? It's one of the two connections I still have to my brother. Sadly, [pages] are missing from it. I've been looking for them.' You say, 'What pages?' Thadres Thyme says 'I believe the pages contain the events that drove my brother to insanity. I have been searching for the remaining three missing pages. There is some hope; I found a couple of pages over in Everfrost Mountains.' Head to Everfrost Peaks and find and kill vengeful soloist, vengeful composer, and vengeful lyricist, all undead skeletons, all around level 10, and all wandering the newbie area. They are placeholders for each other, when one dies, another one (possibly the same one) spawns a few seconds later. Loot Delius Thyme's Diary Pg. 74-76. The pages are NO TRADE and TEMPORARY, so be sure to collect all 3 pages and turn them in before quitting the game. Alternatively, you can store Temporary items for as long as you want in your house if you have one. Page 74 reads: Oct 2
Page 75 reads: Oct 5
Page 76 reads: Oct 23
Turn in the three pages to Thadres Thyme. Thadres Thyme says 'Thank you very much. Now, please help me find all three missing pages.' Thadres Thyme says 'Thank you very much. Now, please help me find all three missing pages.' Thadres Thyme says 'Thank you, thank you. Let me read them. Oh! How could I want these brewing recipes after they made my brother insane? Where are they? I think this is all of them. Take them away from me! Delius can smile upon me now.' You gain experience!!

it just depends how lucky you are to find them. It took me 20 min. just to find 2 but the 3rd to me took along time to find him if you wait by the last gobling camp before getting to blackburrow you should atleast find 1 on the way there. And the other 2 should show up later
Anonymous
In the top where it says it takes 2 hours to complete is kinda incorrect. It took me about 15-20 minutes to kill all 3 of the skellies.

I'm walking though the peaks the other day with my level 12 ranger. I decide to mose on up to Halas to say hi to my GF (a barbarian warrior) and my best friend (ditto). Both are new and of low level (2 and 5).
As i'm moseing (cause thats what rangers do when we have dodge and 105 agility, we mose, we're just cool like that) up a whole ARMADA of low level people come runnin like the ******* from one side of the fork at the exit chasm from Halas and start bookin towards the city.
Behind them comes this skeleton just strutin along like he owns the place. So i decide what the hey, what ever this venegful guy is who cons black to me he can't be that tough, and my GF was amoung those running and my friend sent me a 'RUN' tell so i'm thinking this could be a fun scrap...
Boy was i right!!! I got a full blue bar of xp for killin him and he didn't even take down more then a red bar and a quarter if health. All i did was pummel him with kicks, velium long sword slashes, and flame lick.
So what happens? I look over and i swear to god 10 newbie's are all looking and cheering for me like i'm Karana himself come to smight the unholies.
Never felt so proud in my life. Plus i ended up with alot of people buying me ale's and short beer's. I love drinking.
And don't even get me into how a barbarian warrior girlfriend can show her appreciation later ;)

Gotta agree whole-heartedly with this post. I was heading back to BB with my lvl 12 Ranger when I happened upon the Lyricist (conned blue), and wiped him out in short order with hardly a scratch. Flame Lick seems to be particularly effective when kicking the re-animated crap out them. Not 2 mins later I run right into the Composer who was a little tougher but made the same pile of bones in the end.
Looks like the Pianist may be either a new addition or very rare since there is nothing on him/her (skeletons are quite androgenous). My money is on new since you only need the 3 sheets not 4.
These guys are no match for the Protectors of the Pine.

Absolute ROFLMAO post ! I just wanted to point out how role-playing and free-lance adventuring were both a part of this, as no one can Party like us Barbarians ! These skeles terrorize new players who haven't learned to Con all targets, and are frequently confused for the Decayed Skeles that wander the Newbie trail ! Again, GREAT Post ! =)

I must agree with you these things are soo easy. If your at full health and these things con yellow take them on very easy weak ac and weak hitting. The quest kinda sux cause the guidebook has like some riddles or something.

the vengefulls are nearly impossible at a low level!

I got smashed by them so many times as a newbie, it was GREAT to come back and wipe the snow with them, regardless of what the reward was.

if Halas had full brewing facilities. Regardless, after doing this with my shaman 4x from lvl 8 to 10, my lvl 7 ranger will be headed to Halas soon to offer his services in tracking vengefuls to anyone interested in great exp or brewing. By the time he gets a few books pulling calves for a half decent group should be a possibility.

The only good thing to this quest is the fact that you get to (finally) beat the undead stuffing out of the Vengefuls.
Even so, I wouldn't recommend it for anyone less than level 8 (10 if you're not as buff as most). The Brewing guides don't sell for much once you get them, the exp. hit for turning in the pages isn't all that high either, and you have to stick around and nail all three in one sitting! (they don't always spawn in order, so you end up with extra pages, usu. page 75 in my experience). I usually leave the extras on the ground, which means anyone scavenging after me has an easier time of it.
Upside: the Vengeful Musicians are tougher and meaner than the basic skels wandering around the tundra (not the decaying ones, those're only good for bone chips and basic weaponry). As such, they can give you a good shot to the experience bar when you drop them. Also, hanging around nailing the trio really makes the newbies happy.
Cheers!

They seem to spawn in front of BB, and there's a definite progression; the lyricist is really wussy to a 9th level warrior, and the soloist isn't much better.
Since they still con red to said 9th level warrior, they're great xp, but the reward...let's just say I knew coming in it wasn't that great, but darn, just a recipe book? Why? So we'll be encouraged to be brewers?
Sigh...

Once, when playing a necro that was about 6th level, one of them got trained on me while I was in the cave to Blackburrow. I was at about half health and mana and my pet was nearly dead BEFORE it got there and it conned red to me. I still won and got some nice experience for it. Now these guys are my favorite way of levelling from levels 6 to 9 or so because they are so easy and have so few hitpoints for their level. They are really great for low level clerics.

For the level of the monsters, this quest gives little satisfaction for all those newbie kills these 3 Skelly's rack up. One of my first depts of honor as a young Barbarian Warrior was to hunt the 3 undead bards, and avenge myself, and my brethren upon them. Once I had completed the task I was rewarded with a brewing recipe book. Oh boy!!!

The pages from the vengefuls are no-rent, meaning you have to do the entire quest in one shot. Not usually difficult if you are high enough to kill them anyway.

The vengefuls con very high. My lvl 9 Bard, while on a trip to Halas, took one out with only minimal help from a passing Barb.

The composer conned yellow to my level 6 Shaman, and using Frost Rift and taking damage, I defeated him three times. The Soloist wandered by me, and was very red, and I was nowhere near safety, and had to fight him. Luckily another shaman wandered by and healed me in battle. A Total of 75 points of healing me! Now, I had 141 points going in, but I think I would have died without his help. I have not faced the Lyricist yet, so don't know how he cons.
Level six to seven was spent at location #3 (www.eqatlas.com) and easily made level 7 with Goblin Scouts, and made great loot just whacking whatever else walked by.

The Composer conned Blue to my 9th Cleric. The Lyricist conned Yellow, and the Soloist conned Red. So I think the level info above is a little incorrect.
BTW, NOTHING beats a cleric for fighting skellies. :)

Well now someone never actually took the time to fight them, did they? They overcon seriously. A level 5 is a challenge for the lyricist.
I couldn't pass this up...as a Paladin, my Honor was besmirched BIG TIME. Now, clerics fight skellies well, but NOTHING EVER will beat a Paladin for undead crunching. Necro's come damn close tho!

I liked this quest for many reasons. The experience is excellent, the secret recipe book is very useful to brewers (normally the book you recieve for completeing the quest for the second time), and there is just something satisfying in whacking the banes of my newbie existance.

As a newbie, The Vengefuls suddenly appear & crunch you. If you're lucky, you run in time. Once you're old enough to handle them, you want something for the wait. No such luck!
