    This shared task (1-6 players) begins with Captain Hiran Tillin in Oceangreen Hills. You must have completed the task "Familiarity is the Key" in order to request it.

    You say, 'Hail, Captain Hiran Tillin'

    Captain Hiran Tillin grins at you mirthlessly. 'If Bronal sent you, he must have found that you could be of some use. You should be proud! Not many are able to meet his stringent expectations. I hear also that you have been of some assistance to our civilian friends Tabron and Garvin. While your goodwill is appreciated, there is a great deal more [work] to be done. Satisfy me and you may yet earn an [audience] with the man himself.'

    You say, 'Work?'

    Captain Hiran Tillin says 'The Bertoxxulous worshippers are becoming bolder and more dangerous. I have an important task for you, if you can scrounge up a few allies. This isn't something I can send you on alone. I won't send you on a suicide mission.'

    You have been assigned the task 'Stop the Contamination'.

    You must stop most of the invaders to prove to them that they can not succeed in the future. If too much of the village's supplies are poisoned, or any of the four Irregular guards or villagers are killed, your mission will fail.

    Cult of Bertoxxulous infiltrators found a way into Oceangreen Village past the guards. They have already successfully poisoned some of the villager's food, and they have very little to spare. Captain Tillin has asked you to stop them before the supplies are contaminated. Kill as many of them as you can to convince them that this current plan of theirs will not work.

    Unfortunately because of the trouble the day guards have been forced to stay on watch over night, fearing that some sort of attack may result during a shift change, either on the fortress or the village. So those folks are weary. They will intercept any enemies they see, but they will also shout for help.

    Such failure may just mean the end of Bayle's efforts here, not to mention the lives of the villagers.



    Speak with Acolyte Koel 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

    Hail Acolyte Koel (next to Hiran) to port into an instanced zone.

    You say, 'Hail, Acolyte Koel'

    Acolyte Koel says 'Good luck to you!'

    LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
    You have entered Oceangreen Village.

    You appear at the town "square" (as established in Tillin's first task). Speaking with Billik activates the sequence.

    Speak with Billik Broadwake 0/1 (Oceangreen Village)

    Billik is located near the instance zone-in.



    Keep the stores, villagers and supplies safe 0/1 (Oceangreen Village)

    You'll need to fend off several waves of mobs (about 12 waves) which come two at a time every 2-5 minutes or so. Having a tracker is a good idea for this, as you may need to seek out the mobs. Most spawns seem to be by the ocean while some were north and south of the village by bushes or rocks.

    If you don't find and kill the waves (or at least keep them distracted by training them around -- apparently you don't have to actually kill them), the mobs will attack the villagers. The villagers will fight back, but if too many die or you die, you lose. Note that the 'friendly' mobs can be healed with player spells.

    Mobs you'll encounter:
    a servant of Bertoxxulous (common spawn)
    a Bertoxxulian plaguebearer
    a Bertoxxulian Scablord (uncommon spawn)
    a bentwing plaguefly (rare loot-dropping named, drops Bentwing, Fetid Sash, Foulblood Sash, Tsetsian Leg)

    Soon after the final wave spawns, you'll see this:

    Arch Priest Cronkle shouts 'I grow weary of these games! You so-called Irregulars have become a thorn, and I shall pluck you! Prepare to bow your heads to me!'

    Arch Priest Cronkle shouts 'Enough skulking in the night! I am here, and I shall bring to you the gifts of plague! You shall know the power of disease like a lover's kiss, and within its passion you shall be consumed!'

    Scumlord Heyanti shouts 'Cronkle! Return to the temple immediately! Your careless behavior will not be tolerated!'

    Arch Priest Cronkle shouts 'I have work to do here. Work that you are too cowardly to pursue! When I'm done, I will return, but not before then!'

    Scumlord Heyanti shouts 'You will not put our plans at risk! You, of all people, know who I am and what I will do to you if you do not return immediately. You decide: the life of an Arch Priest or an eternity as a sacrifice. Make your decision in one minute, or I will make it for you.'

    Arch Priest Cronkle shouts 'I will return, fools. I shall bring a plague of death upon you and Bayle's Irregulars shall be nothing but a memory!'

    Your task 'Stop the Contamination' has been updated.

    This despawns any remaining mob waves that happen to be alive still.

    In the event you fail:

    Billik Broadwake shouts 'No! They've gotten to the supplies! It will all have to be burned. We may have to abandon this place and try to escape overland now.'

    Your shared task, 'Stop the Contamination', has ended.



    Speak with Billik Broadwake 0/1 (Oceangreen Village)

    You say, 'Hail, Billik Broadwake'

    Billik Broadwake says 'Thank you for your help. I can trigger the magic that will send you back to the [keep] when you're ready.'

    You say, 'Send me back to the keep'

    LOADING, PLEASE WAIT...
    You have entered Oceangreen Hills.



    Report to Captain Hiran Tillan 0/1 (Oceangreen Hills)

    Hail the Captain for task completion.

    Timeshear Purple Fragment Heda

    I am rather sceptical about this claim. Three level 70's and no tracker ? He doesn't even mention mercs.

    i just done it 2 boxed (1 level 80 SK and 1 level 81 Druid) they are right you don't have to kill anything. i used druid, to track first mob, then used SK to run em around. Druid even died 2 times and SK died once and still got it done first try! I am pretty quick at getting back to Oceangreen hills too (witch i am sure helped)OH and just FYI i got task with just 2 in group and 1 merc.

    I 6 boxed this mission today... had warrior on his fast horse circling the village... I just kept pressing E for targeting neared NPC and I would aggro both then just head back to zone in... Group would kill and then Id just rinse and repeat.

    I am not sure if the waves are timed... or just pop a little bit after the previous wave dies.

    The quest write up states the 2 named mobs are the final wave, yet i just tried to do task, and the names were not the final wave.

    i 3 boxed this with a 82 chanter, 85 cleric, 82 mage,
    merc cleric (82) and 2 merc wariiors (82/85).
    There is a spawn point in the water southwest
    of the inn. There is a spawn point near the
    apocathery. They track down the boardwalk to the
    inn from the north. I could not find a spawn
    point. The secret it appears without a tracker
    is to keep moving and agro any mobs and pull to
    group. I kept the 85 cleric moving continuously
    except when multiple mobs at the main fight site
    where he healed and helped with DPS. I had both
    named pop at the end which made it interesting
    for a bit.

    These appear to be like the Katta tasks for orum. The more they are done the less chrono's you get for the task. its 11-30-08 and the reward is 15 chrono's. First time I did this task I got 60 chrono's.
