You say, 'Hail, Vegalys Keldrane'
Vegalys Keldrane says 'Greetings to you, citizen. By order of the Council of Qeynos I have been given the duty of apprehending the individuals [responsible] for unleashing this terrible plague upon the people and the lands of Antonius Bayle. The more I look into this matter, the more I come to find that this will be no easy task.' You say, 'Who is responsible?' Vegalys Keldrane says 'The plague unleashed upon the Plains of Karana is the work of the followers of Bertoxxulous. Those responsible belong to group known as the Bloodsabers though there were others involved as well. Some time back, they launched a plot to overthrow Antonius Bayle and our ruling council. Their [plan] failed.' You say, 'What plan?' Vegalys Keldrane says 'Their plan was to unleash a plague so deadly and virulent that it would wipe out all life from here to Highpass Hold. They planned to brand themselves and their foul allies with a rune that would have rendered them immune to the effects of this plague. From that point they would have been able to simply walk in, easily defeat the weakened stragglers and declare themselves the rulers of this kingdom by default. But they were [careless].' You say, 'How they were careless?' Vegalys Keldrane says 'The sudden influx of scoundrels and loathsome individuals was our first tip off. They required a rather enormous number of supplies, materials and manpower to construct the ornate altars, craft and enchant their runed branding irons and supply their armies with the weapons needed for the cleanup work afterward. They needed to rely upon [outside help].' You say, 'What outside help?' Vegalys Keldrane says 'They mostly chose to hire bandits and brigands who are foolishly more concerned with immediate profits than the long-term effects of their actions. But once they knew we were on to them they even started hiring some of the more 'civil' gnolls, if there is such a thing. Gnolls tend to be easy to push around, stupid, and they work very cheaply. They knew their time was short and they were desperate. Choosing to work with untrustworthy, lazy scoundrels caused the whole thing to begin to [unravel], praise Rodcet!' You say, 'How did it unravel?' Vegalys Keldrane says 'Their workers were careless. Aside from noticing the unsavory element in our city, our citizens began to run across many of the strange items and materials that were being trafficked into our city en masse. It was at that point that the citizens began to [complain] quite loudly about all of this.' You say, 'Complain?' Vegalys Keldrane says 'Obviously, they questioned the meaning behind these events and rightfully so. They were frightened much as they are now. I admit, I was remiss in my duties for not noticing it sooner. One of the biggest complainers during this time was a man by the name of [Earron Huntlan], proprieter of the famed Lion's Mane tavern. Though he is just a simple merchant, he did us a great service.' You say, 'Who is Earron Huntlan?' Vegalys Keldrane says 'Earron is quite a character. He gets all kinds of travelers stopping by his inn for a drink or whatever other business. His patrons started telling stories of being mugged and harassed by these loathsome individuals in the very streets of our fair city. Of course, he was concerned. So he became a kind of advocate for this cause, ringing the [alarm] bell as it were. I admit, at first I did not believe the conspiracy. I simply could not believe it was all happening under our nose.' You say, 'What alarm?' Vegalys Keldrane says 'Well, he succeeded in whipping the populace into a frenzy. He even got the famous wizard Al'Kabor to help him out by determining the nature of the strange items many of our citizens were finding. Getting that man to do anything not directly related to his research is not an easy thing to accomplish either. Needless to say, at that point I saw the truth and the Prime Healer forgive me for not seeing it sooner. Were it not for the investigations and general outcry of [concerned citizens], we might not be standing here talking today.' You say, 'What concerned citizens?' Vegalys Keldrane says 'Yes, it was citizens like you that helped to save Qeynos that day. We uncovered their plot, captured the man who was in charge and put him to death. Of course, the Bloodsabers retaliated and using their incomplete research still managed to unleash the plague we face now. Though devastating in its own right, you must admit it is rather mild compared to what it might have been. I thank you for your interest. Perhaps you would be willing to [help] me?' You say, 'I am willing to help you' Vegalys Keldrane says 'Excellent! The more I learn from my investigators the more I find that these Bloodsabers have stretched their tendrils of influence all throughout our beloved city. Nevertheless, we are committed to exposing these fiends once and for all. Perhaps you would like to become an [investigator]?' You say, 'I would like to become an investigator' Vegalys Keldrane says 'Very well then, Durix. We will not allow just anyone to wear the official Investigator's Badge and please forgive me. . . But it is hard to tell where one's loyalties lie these days. If you are truly [serious] then there is a duty you must perform first to show you are on the side of Antonius Bayle, the council and the good people Qeynos.' You say, 'I am truly serious' Vegalys Keldrane says 'There is a guard by the name of Robbie Shilster that patrols the Northern Plains of Karana. He is allied with our enemies and completely corrupt. He is flagrant in his trafficking of contraband goods. His orders are to guard the great wooden bridge to stave off the insect swarms. But our investigators report that he simply stands to the side and watches as the swarm rolls through. You are to execute this man for his treason and bring me his helm. Then, we will talk.' Go North Karana and go north of the wooden bridge, near the wall. Find Guard Shilster and kill him. Loot a Cracked Corrupt Guard Helm. Run back to Qeynos and give his helm to Vegalys.

At a tree south of the Lions Mane tavern you will meet an investigator in a yellow robe. Give him the book. an investigator says 'Very well, let's get to work. I assume you have read the briefing and committed it to memory. This is how you will be tested. I shall play the part of student and you shall play the master who directs me. I promise I won't make it easy on you either, we want only the best. We'll see how you do and then I'll decide if you are worthy to wear the badge or not.' You say, 'Where is the first suspect?' an investigator says 'The first suspect was last seen near the shop called Fireprides.' Fireprides is the armor store near the bank. At this point use /pet commands to get the investigator to listen to you. You say, 'Follow me.' an investigator says 'Right, let's get going.' Look for Riley Shplots. You say, 'Are you a member of the Bloodsabers?' Riley Shplots shakes visibly and says, 'Oh, no. I knew this would happen one day. Please don't hurt me! I had very little to do with this plague, though it is quite a nice one, you must admit. I was just a courier. I'll come quietly. I don't want any trouble. My small contribution to the glory of Bertoxxulous has already been given but I certainly don't want to go to meet him just yet!' You say, 'Give me a confession document' an investigator says 'Here you are.' You say, 'Summon a guard.' Guard Sylus says 'Come along, prisoner.' You say, 'Where is the second suspect?' an investigator says 'The second suspect was sighted below the Grounds of Fate.' Look for Willie Garrote. He may be found under the arena, near the cells. You say, 'Are you a member of the Bloodsabers?' Willie Garrote says 'A Bloodsaber? Of course I'm not, don't be ridiculous!' You say, 'Give me a confession document.' an investigator says 'Here you are.' You say, 'Summon a guard' Guard Sylus says 'Come along, fiend. We haven't far to go.' You say, 'Where is the third suspect?' an investigator says 'The last suspect has been known to hang around that low life known as Raz the Rat.' Look for Donally Stultz near the docks, on the shore. You say, 'Are you a Bloodsaber?' Donally Stultz says 'Of course I'm a Bloodsaber, you fool! I've just returned from the Plains of Karana where I was reveling in the glory of the Plaguebringer. Now then, since I see that this foolish investigator is with you, I suppose you want me to sign a confession document or something like that? Well, let's have it then!' You say, 'Give me a confession document' an investigator says 'Here you are.' Donally Stultz crumples the document into a ball, throws it to the ground and spits in your face, yelling, 'You are a fool if you really believe I would sign such a thing. Prepare to die!' Kill him and loot his head. Give the investigator the two confessions and the one head. an investigator says 'You have done our city a great service and helped to bring several criminals to justice this day!

I must first gather information on who these people are and exactly how far their influences stretch. However, once I begin to implement the next phase of this operation, you may be able to assist us once again if you prove to be talented enough. For now, simply continue to observe and report.' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

He's in N. Qeynos right above the gate that leads out to the newbie area.

How do you get up to where he is??
Anonymous
As you pass through the gate into Qeynos there will be a door on the left and a door on the right. The one on the right leads to a small office where Kane Bayle is (or a guard placeholder, I believe Kane works the night shift). The one on the left has a small area with a set of stairs up to the top of the gate where Vegalys is, as well as the bard for one of the bard reports quests and a guard for one version of the Cuburt dress quests.

Could a gnome necro do it if they were somehow able to get to him? I doubt it... this quest seems to be kinda anti-necro/SK. I have a mage that might do this, but could he use a pet while fighting the guy or does the investigator take up your petship thingie?
If someone really needed Qeynos faction, here's teh quest to do it I guess. I wonder if an iksar monk could keel and quest enough to build faction to walk into Qeynos?
Now they need to give you a reason to travel that far!

Guard Robbie Shilster is a level 17 shadowknight (based on that opening HT for 171 damage). Patrols between the wooden bridge and the north wall, not along the water but not very far inland either. Dropped 7 sp 6cp, a Rusty Long Sword, a Qeynos Kite Shield, and the Cracked Corrupt Guard Helm. Faction for killing him was -CorruptQeynosGuards (was dubious when I left and was still dubious after the kill), +GuardsofQeynos, -KaneBayle, -CircleOfUnseenHands, -BloodSabers
Donally Stultz conned yellow to my 24 druid putting him at either level 25 or 26. Unfortunately he depopped before the investigator could figure out his way from under the Grounds of Fate to the beach where Raz the Rat Misk hangs out. :( You have 2 minutes from the time Guard Sylus takes Willie Garrotte away before Donally Stultz shouts 'You aren't bringing me in alive and since I don't feel like dying today, I'm outta here!'

Uhhh.... when I killed him, it was with a different character, who nuked him down in 1 hit, so I didn't see whether he was a SK... but Factions were +CorruptQeynosGuards,+Circle,-QeynosGuards (not sure what the others were) but I WAS surprised it was that way round and not the other way round -- but he definitely did sell me BB stout, and drop the Corrupt Guard Helm. The net result of this quest for me was an actual INCREASE in Corrupt Guards faction... :-O

You might be confusing the faction from buying the BB Stout with the faction for killing the guard. I had my log file open when I made my post (which is how I knew the opening HT was 171 damage, the factions, all that he dropped, how long Donally was up, and what he shouts when he depops).
BTW, I'm very happy to hear about the other use for the guard. My Ranger is KOS to the Circle of Unseen Hands (turned in about 100 poacher heads) and I'm getting tired of killing every Karana Bandit I pass trying to get to dubious again.

I think these new multi-level quests, like the ring and shawl quests in Velious, are an awesome idea. Rather than just 'go kill someone and bring me something', with large quests like this there is a story and you can get really involved. Kudos on the awesome idea and I hope to see more like it!

You have the kill the last guy you hand the confession to. He hits like 30-50 at the most And is somewhere between level 15 and 30...Don't step back or he will attack the investigator and you will fail. the investigator is like level 10 or something and he won't help (by what I remember)
After I figured out what to do, the quest takes only a few minutes. Good luck!
