    This task follows the Skylance: The Oubliette task.

    Since you have recovered the Egg of Tallongast, Ao has learned more about the scrykin prototype. The reason Tallongast was never hatched is because he bears an advanced version of the weakness common to all scrykin. He will absorb power from the plane of magic like a lightning rod and this power will drive him insane far faster than a normal scrykin. Within Tallongast's first few seconds of life, he will become a monster. Within a few moments more he will become unstoppable and completely out of control. This is why the Egg of Tallongast was never hatched...

    Go to the laboratory of Skylance and follow these instructions to hatch the egg of Tallongast. You know what you must do from there to recover the Chime of Ayonae Ro. Make it quick.

    The person who gets this task is given The Incubated Egg of Tallongast.

    Spirit of Ao th Forth Born says "Good luck, ____. Once you find your way into Skylance Tower, speak with my student, Arkahn. He is waiting for you there."

    Head into Skylance. This is an instance.

    You have entered Skylance.

    You say, Hail, Arkahn'

    Arkahn says "Greetings, ____. I am Arkahn the Gatekeeper of Skylance. Ao has instructed me to wait here for your arrival. I cannot help you overtly, but I will serve as your guide while you remain in this tower. Tell me, where are you headed? The [oubliette]? The [library]? The [laboratory]? Or perhaps [Daosheen's study]? I can direct you to all these chambers.

    You say, 'How about the Laboratory?'

    Arkahn says "The laboratory lies beyond the second portal up the ramp. Follow my familiar to the gate. Mind the equipment. Many skrykin artificers have created guardians to protect their workspace."



    Head into the lab. Go to the center table and place the egg on your cursor. Hit your 'use' key to spawn the egg on the table. Three lab attendants spawn, coinciding with an emote in red text.

    This text can be directed to its own chat window by specifying Filter -> Other. If it is in the same window as combat spam you risk missing it - or having it scroll off the log before you have finished killing the lab attendants.


    Every time you successfully answer the emote's directions, a single level 70-72 lab attendant will spawn. These mobs are KOS and wander the upper area where the equipment controls are.

    Every time you fail....

    The machines in the lab, hiss violently and spit steam. You're pretty sure that was the wrong switch.

    ...and a zombie spawns and attacks. You will then have to start from the beginning.

    There are eight emotes, and all eight need to be done correctly and in order. The emotes and their translations are as follows:

    Remove the necrotic portions of the tissue.

    On the north platform, click the table with tools on it (farther from the center of the zone).

    Use the Trans-Injector to infuse the essence of magic into the egg.

    On the north platform, click the pedestal (closer to the center of the zone).

    From the ether, call out to the spirits willing to aid you in this experiment.

    On the east platform, click the pillar with the dome on it (farther from the center of the zone).

    A good dose of ethereal goo needs to be applied next.

    On the east platform, click the pedestal (closer to the center of the zone).

    The Dispenser has the next critical component.

    On the south platform, click the device that looks like a gumball machine (farther from the center of the zone).

    Switch on the Hyper-Manipulator to align the proteins into their proper sequence.

    On the south platform, click the pedestal (closer to the center of the zone).

    Distill the magical spirits into their purest form.

    On the west platform, click the still (farther from the center of the zone).

    The Gaze-O-Rama should be used to confer the egg with greater sight.

    On the west platform, click the pedestal (closer to the center of the zone).

    Once the 8th emote is handled, Tallongast the Discarded will spawn. It hits for upwards of 2000
    .

    Tallongast the Discarded has been slain by ____.

    Your task `Skylance: The Laboratory' has been updated.

    Amongst the sludge of the scrykin's contorted body, you find a small metal chime caked in tar. It will need to be cleaned by Ao the Fourth Born before it can be properly used.

    Your faction with Fledgling Scrykin got better.
    You have been given: Tarnished Chime.

    Among the loot it may drop:

    Gem of Scrykin Magus
    Pendant of the Overspirit
    Scrykin Caster Blade

    On handing the Tarnished Chime to Ao the Forth Born..

    Ao the Forth Born cleans the chime that you received from Talongast (sic) the Protytype. `There,' he says. `This should be much more useful for you now.'

    You receive Harmonic Chime.

    Can anyone tell us what this chest is called? Does all the loot drop from the chest, or some from the chest and some from Tallongast?

    There is no chest, Tallongast has the loot on him. One of 3 items, 2 augs or caster prim/secondary.

    Got this from Druids Grove-really helps.
    Directions are same on compass, N,E,S,W. I = Inner, O = Outer

    NI = Use the trans-injector to infuse the essence of magic into the egg
    NO = Remove the necrotic portion of the tissue
    EI = A good dose of ethereal goo needs to be applied next
    EO = From the ether, call out the spirits willing to aid you in this experiment
    SI = Switch on the hyper-manipulator to align the proteins into their proper sequence
    SO = The dispenser has the next critical component
    WI = The gaze-O-rama should be used to confer the egg with greater sight
    WO = Distill the magical spirits into their purest form

    This mission was not fun to figure out, due to the time it takes and the relative annoyance and dificulty of chain ae casting mobs and their warping.

    Each corner of the compass has 2 clickies.
    Front (close to center of room) clickies control the stuff on the ceiling.
    Back (farest from center of room) clickies are their own thingy with some sort a graphic, like a distillery (eq devs are lushes, esp. Prathun!) or a table of tools.

    "The Gaze-O-Rama should be used to confer the egg with greater sight."
    Touch the front panal that sits below the large thingy with the small eyeball at the end.

    "Switch on the Hyper-Manipulator to align the proteins into their proper sequence."
    The front panel under the large thingy that looks like a big metal claw.

    "Use the Trans-Injector to infuse the essence of magic into the egg."
    The front panel under the giant syringe.

    "A good dose of ethereal goo needs to be applied next."
    Front panel with the big lava machine thingy.

    "From the ether, call out to the spirits willing to aid you in this experiment."
    Back panel that looks like a flat blue table with a white orb in the middle.

    "Distill the magical spirits into their purest form."
    Back panel that looks like two containers connected by a curly blue tube.

    "Remove the necrotic portions of the tissue."
    Back tray with the assorted tools.

    "The Dispenser has the next critical component."
    Back clay pot with brown spout, back panel.

    ------------------

    Adds walk around the outside of the room. Have a bard do the clicks, or an FD class that can take a few rounds from 1.5k hitters.
