This task begins with Calisar in the Stoneroot Falls. He is located at 845, -1800, 8.

For your map file:
P 1800.0988, -845.6822, 5.3302, 0, 0, 0, 2, Calisar

You say, 'Hail, Calisar'

Calisar says 'Were you sent by the priests?' he glares suspiciously at you, 'I think not, but no matter. I have important work to do and you look like the sort of person I wouldn't feel bad about sacrif. . .having help in my [work].'

You say, 'What work?'

Calisar says 'Our priests have been developing a magical dampening stone designed to weaken the spells and enchantments used by the drachnids. Unfortunately these stones are currently only effective if they can be placed at the [source] of the drachnid magic.'

You say, 'Where is the source?'

Calisar says 'The stones that I have at the moment need to be placed in the summoning altars of the drachnids. Those altars are used to summon the throngs of expendable drachnids that are sent into battle as fodder. If we can weaken those forces enough, the drachnids may have to rethink their tactics. If you think you could [accomplish] this, I'll give you a few stones to plant.'

You say, 'I think I can accomplish this.'

Calisar says 'I can give you four dampening stones to start with. Make sure you get them placed correctly. If you lose any let me know and I'll see if I can find [more] for you.'

4 x A Dampening Stone appear on your cursor, and a task window appears:

Speak with Sintal nearby. He should have a bit more information for you regarding the summoning altars, and may be able to help you sneak into the Hive.

There are three versions of this task: Low-level (for those 67 and below), normal and hard. The only difference between them is the quality of loot and difficulty of mobs.



(Task steps needed.)

Speak with Sintal to enter the instance. He is found at location 750, -1650, 8.

For map file:
P 1650.3219, -749.9072, 8.2975, 0, 0, 0, 2, Sintal

You say, 'Hail, Sintal'

Sintal says 'Hmph, Calisar said he was sending help, but I didn't think he'd send one of your ilk. Very well then, let us get down to business. The summoning altars are rumored to be kept in the four sections of the hive buried in the cavern wall. You would do well to start your search there. I can help you [enter] the hive, but I must not be revealed to the drachnids.'

Your task 'Sabotage!' has been updated.

You say, 'Help us enter'

Sintal says 'I have been able to develop a teleportation spell that allows me to reach the bridges outside the cavern wall of the hive. I can take you each up there individually and help you return again once you've completed your work. Let me know when you are each [ready] and I will transport you.'

You say, 'We are ready'

Sintal says 'Keep your guard up when you arrive. You never know what could be waiting for you there.'

LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered The Hive.

Find Sintal inside The Hive.

You say, 'Hail, Sintal'

Sintal says 'Ready to run away, eh? Well I can't say that I'm surprised. I don't think anyone deserves to be captured by the drachnids so I can help you [leave] whenever you're ready.'

During the mission you will see the following emote every 2-3 minutes:

A low chanting can be heard for just a moment before suddenly going silent.

When this emote goes off, a summoned minion spawns on top of one of the four altars. Undead minions may also spawn, and see invisibility. Drachnid Ritualists guard each of the altars.

Place the four stones on the four altars (locations and descriptions needed) and find Sintal again..

You say, 'Hail, Sintal'

Sintal says 'All done are you? I must admit to being impressed. I had expected the drachnids to truss you up quickly and use you as breeding fodder. At any rate thank you for your help with this, there should be a drastic effect on the drachnid armies because of this. Here's payment for your services, take it and let me know when you're ready and I'll take you all [out of here].'

You say, 'Get us out of here'

Your task 'Sabotage!' has been updated.

Excellent work, I've already heard reports about the drachnid forces being less effective. Hopefully we can use this opportunity to begin rebuilding the Shiliskin Empire once again.

You gain experience!!

Dont worry about faction or the text. Tell Calisar "Accomplish". Then get yer 4 stones and tell Sintal "Ready". They will zone you in at dubious np.

If you are a sneaky class/race you can get to indifferent faction and work through the dialouge with him.
