He is found at location 350, 180, 5. You say, 'Hail, Higbin the Traveler' Higbin the Traveler says 'Traveler, one moment. Stop! I must speak with you! Qeynos is in grave [danger]!' You say, 'Danger?' Higbin the Traveler says 'I was passing through the hills on the way to Qeynos, and I made camp two nights ago in a rocky enclave near the road. In the early morning, my fire turned to ash. Cold, I awoke to the light of Luclin's gray gaze and the sound of [footfalls] on the road.' You say, 'Footfalls?' Higbin the Traveler says 'Chain mail clacking, metal sliding, blades glinting blue -- a line of shimmering armor floated past me. Their faces blended with the night. These were not [human] troops.' You say, 'What were they, if not human?' Higbin the Traveler says 'Dark elves! The Teir'Dal were on the march! I lay in silence while they passed. When I no longer could hear their boots on the road, I leaped up and ran straight for Qeynos, ignoring the road. Everyone in the city had to be [warned]!' You say, 'Warned!' Higbin the Traveler says 'I have convinced Corporal Lancot of the threat, and he is soon to evacuate citizens. I am sure he can use all the [help] he can get.' You say, 'I'll help' Higbin the Traveler says 'Thank you! [Go] to Corporal Lancot and see if you can be of assistance.' You say, 'Ready to go!' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... You have entered North Qeynos - Invasion of the Fearless. The following mobs can be mezzed, snared, and rooted: a TeirDal cleric a TeirDal warrior a TeirDal magician a TeirDal enchanter a TeirDal pillager a TeirDal raider a TeirDal marauder a TeirDal arsonist a TeirDal torch wielder a TeirDal firestarter Speak with Corporal Lancot 0/1 (North Qeynos) You say, 'Hail, Corporal Lancot' Corporal Lancot says 'Thank you for your assistance! We will need as much help as we can get. We did not receive the warning of the Teir'Dal threat until too late; now the invaders are already within our walls. Many of the guards are locked in combat. Hasten to their aid! Or, if you are too much of a coward to help us, you can [leave] this city...' TeirDal are about to attack Qeynos. Defend the city. Save the Qeynos guards that are pinned down by the enemy attack. 0/1 (North Qeynos) Approximately 14 warriors, clerics, enchanters, magicians to kill for update. Speak with Guard Erabb 0/1 (North Qeynos) You say, 'Hail, Guard Erabb' Guard Erabb says 'You have saved my life, and the lives of my fellow guards, but the threat is not over. When we heard of the coming of the Teir'Dal, we began evacuating citizens, but we could not finish the process in time. Several of them are trapped here, and the enemy is closing in. Do not let the citizens be killed!' Your task 'Invasion of the Fearless' has been updated. Defend the trapped citizens 0/1 (North Qeynos) Approximately 14 raiders, pillagers, marauders attack mobs called "a citizen." To get the update, some citizens must survive. Speak with Guard Aerryn 0/1 (North Qeynos) You say, 'Hail, Guard Aerryn' Guard Aerryn says 'Thanks to you, we were able to finish evacuating the citizens. But the threat is not over. I have seen torches flashing between buildings; it appears the Teir'Dal intend to burn Qeynos to the ground. Go, kill the fire starters and put out any fires they set. If we let the fires rage for more than 10 minutes, Qeynos is surely lost. Here, take these buckets. You can fill them in any pool of water. Pour out the water on any fires you see.' Kill the firestarters and put out the fires that have been set 0/1 (North Qeynos) Each party member receives an Empty Bucket which must be filled before attempting to put out any fire. (Do so by going into the water and right-clicking the Empty Bucket.) Every two minutes, a zonewide emote goes off indicating how many fires are left to be put out. There's no message for when they're all out, however you'll know you have them all once those zonewide emotes stop. If all fires are not out within 30 minutes, you fail. In that case, you can repeat this portion of the task as it resets after 10 minutes. In addition to the fires around the city, you also have to contend with numerous TeirDal firestarters and arsonists. All are mezzable. Once all fires are out and all adds are dead, you can move on. Speak with Corporal Gehnus 0/1 (North Qeynos) Hail Guard Gehnus who is now found by the front gate. You say, 'Hail, Guard Gehnus' Guard Gehnus says 'The invaders have been driven from within the city, but I can see the glint of swords in the fields. Any moment now, the Teir'Dal will make their assault on the city gates. Do what you can to stop them. We will try to deal with anyone that makes it to us. If one of the Teir'Dal manages this feat, distract them, and we will finish them off.' Keep the invaders from reaching the city gate 0/1 (North Qeynos) Stop mobs from entering city (20-25 mobs spawn randomly 2-3 at a time and walk towards city. You can kite them all and kill them one by one, or you can train them to the guards as they'll kill them pretty fast (although the guards can also be killed, so you'll want to keep the mobs' attention). Speak with Corporal Lancot 0/1 (North Qeynos) NOTE: The task locks once you hail Lancot. You say, 'Hail, Corporal Lancot' Corporal Lancot says 'Surely the commander of these forces is camped in the fields. We will hold the gate. Go to him and discover why the Teir'Dal have been so brash as to attack Qeynos.' This spawns a group of Dark Elves in the field outside the gate: Commander Dendrix, Captain Tek`al, Captain Mordek, Captain Boltayar, and two trash mobs. All are mezzable and pacifiable except for Dendrix. Speak with Commander Dendrix 0/1 (North Qeynos) You say, 'Hail, Commander Dendrix' Commander Dendrix says 'Do you aim to stop us? Days ago I dreamed of Antonius Bayle weeping over a heap of corpses and ash. I crept behind him and took his head. As his lifeless body fell, the pile of corpses disappeared, and in its place was Qeynos and Freeport, devoid of humans, teeming with my own kind. I knew I would bring this dream to reality. I have no fear of death or pain. And my dreams have foretold my victory!' Hailing him opens up the following steps: Kill 1 Captain Tek'al 0/1 (North Qeynos) Kill 1 Captain Mordek 0/1 (North Qeynos) Kill 1 Captain Boltayar 0/1 (North Qeynos) Kill 1 Commander Dendrix 0/1 (North Qeynos) Dendrix hits for a max ~5,500. Speak with Corporal Lancot 0/1 (North Qeynos) You say, 'Hail, Corporal Lancot' Corporal Lancot says 'Our foes are destroyed! Please, take this small reward as my thanks. Qeynos is saved! But why would the Teir'Dal choose to attack us now, and in such small numbers? Surely something strange is happening in Norrath. I know you've felt it and seen it: the newfound confidence as you hold high your weapon, the vermin that invade our homes in broad daylight. Fear is disappearing from the land. What is the cause of all this? If you must [leave] this place, do what you can to discover the nature of our troubles.' See what reward Corporal Lancot has given you 0/1 (North Qeynos) An ornate chest spawns with loot. Opening the chest completes the task. Rewards Everyone receives experience. In the chest are two items. Known loot: Cape of the Wailing Winds Crystallized Ooze Ring Drape of the Ape Fanciful Mask of Joyful Slaying Girdle of the Feartouched Arachnid Golden Band of the Traveler Isabeaux' Ring of Dark Tidings Necklace of the Drowned Trinket of the Fearful If this is the last of all your "Absence of Fear" achievements, you also receive a "Cloudy Orb of Dreams". | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
