Your Location is -178.19, -395.94, 3.75

I did not get a say on screen from Raffel Minnmorn when I neared the Lion's Mane Inn, so I went directly to Gash (which I believe is the right order since the guard tells you to inform him immediately). He basically said go find and kill the assassin, but hinted by having the word FORTUNE in capitals when he was talking (Raffel has FORTUNE capitalized when you hail him). I used this page of Allah to find the assassin's name and found him on the north west edge of the inn (outside) against a wall. Location was "446.03, -34.64, 3.75." I got him to respond to "who is gash flockwalker" but could not get him to attack with "what special delivery." So I had to start the fight myself. I don't know if a passing guard would attack you for starting it or not but I did not have that happen. Here's each of the attack lines on my chat window during the fight, including all types of attacks I received (yes some occured a few times, but you don't need every single time):

>You feel your skin singe as the burst of fire hits you. You have taken 12 points of damage.
>Your feet have become entwined. You have taken 10 points of damage.
>You are slammed by an intense gust of wind. You have taken 10 points of damage. (This spell makes you jump back about 5 feet or so, but you are still rooted).
>You are surrounded by flickering flames.
>You have taken 3 damage from Flame Lick by Raffel Minnmorn. (repeats per spell tick)
>Raffel Minnmorn feels a little better. (He heals himself with a weak heal).

Those were all the spells I had cast on me during the fight. Drops were "a black wood chip" and "a rusty dagger." Not once was I hit from his dagger, but the fight only lasted about a minute (I was a lvl 10 druid using swarm dot spell and flickering flame dot, average hit on my part was 11-12 with a delay of 22).

Gash Flockwalker says "Hey... he dropped something. You should most likely take it to Gerael Woodone in Surefall Glade. Tell me what it is."

Then I went back to Gash (since he said "tell me what it is") and said "he dropped a black wood chip", to which he responded the same description of the black wood chip if you ask "what black wood chip" when talking to him initially. So off to Surefall Glade I went.

Gash Flockwalker's location is "368.85, -86.79, 3.75." If you go thru the main entrance of the inn, turn right, and then left when you see Sissy Huntlan, General Supply vendor. Take another immediate left turn before you enter the hallway and you'll run into the merchants front desk (Tasla Huntlan, general supply vendor). Take the hallway to your right until you see a wanted poster with a face on it, he is behind the door to the right of that poster (your right if your looking at the poster).

Gash's room in the Lion's Mane Inn is at /Loc 365.45 -86.70 3.13
Do a search for Sissy Huntlan and you will find it. Then go behind the counter and follow the hallways after the picture then the wanted sign you will find his room door. Don't go up the steps it's at the bottom of those.turn left and there you go.

Gerael Woodone is at /loc -184.94 -393.87 3.13
In the tree in Surefall.

As a Wood Elf druid I went to surefall as soon as I reached lvl 15 so that I had the surefall glades ring spell.....bound myself in the Queynos part where you give the ticket for the statue guy. then had karana Ring Spell loaded as well.

I believe the pop time for the assassin is 1 hour.....I only did this part 1 time......at the end of 1:30 I had done it twice.

I did this quest 3 times in 1:30 it was fun.....got a level and I was in good condition....teehee...

Seems like this might be broken. I gave the flask to Linuya but the diaglog didnt continue. the umkempt druid popped outside, but she never asked for help. While I tried to continue the diaglog line with the 'what note' question, the druid de-popped. I'd be curious to know if anyone had this problem? Or if the diaglog is just off, the killing the umkempt will keep the quest intact.

the faction hit on QRG Protected animals for killing Draze Slashyn is corrected when you hand in note to Gerael
