    Nastel Greygore may be found at 385, -625.

    You say, 'Hail, Nastel Greygore'

    Nastel Greygore babbles to himself absentmindedly, 'Nastel has never seen anything like them. Their attraction to decay and their inherent strengths are most decidedly linked but more [proof] is needed before Nastel can present his theories and findings to the guild. They'll never believe us.'

    You say, 'What proof?'

    Nastel Greygore says 'By Bertoxxulous' burning britches! Where did you come from? If it weren't for Reaver Lebanezer, Nastel would smite you right here, on the spot, and bury you in a shallow grave. Or skip the smiting and bury you alive. Or feed you to the dark [Sporali]!'

    You say, 'Sporali?'

    Nastel Greygore says 'Keen ears you have, ______. The Sporali to the far southeast are more deadly than Nastel has ever encountered. The soil there is rich with decay. The earth is nearly black, chernozemic. They thrive on it. It makes them stronger. They feed on the remains of ancient settlers. They feed on fools that trespass into their domain. Nastel needs to know more about these Sporali and their environment. Nastel thinks you might be [fool] enough to try.'

    You say, 'Fool?'

    Nastel Greygore says 'How fortuitous for us both: the fool and Nastel! Scout out the many sinkholes where the Sporali make their home. Slay several of their kind. If you are strong enough to manage this task, return to Nastel with what you learn and what you see. We must know more about them.'

    Neat. My bard was being turned down for this quest with dubious faction. The turnin where he became apprehensive he was granted the quest. My sk who had been xping with duhbard had Jorun Grimblewimbus and Nastel Greygore con dubious still, certainly it was a "high" dubious. Dra Sen was able to get the task with dubious faction to my surprise and delight.

    . . . locate the remains
    # Dec 07 2007 at 8:31 AM Rating: Default
    To locate the remains, go to the Southeast corner of Hills of Shade (to the right along the wall from zone in). You will find 3 tunnels there filled with mobs, mostly Sporalis. Make certain you are Invisible to get there. Most, if not all, of the mobs around and in the first rooms of the tunnels don't see invis. Enter each tunnel and head in until you are in the first room and it will update one of the 3 locates at each tunnel.

    Once that is done, the kill 15 Deathspore Sporalis and kill 15 Rotcap Sporalis patrs of the quest will appear.
