Iksar crusader spawns at the bottom of the side ladder room next to lord qyzar. I found it easiest to invis and stand on the center of the bridge into Firiona Vie. You can see tracker azeal standing at the end of the bridge in front of the first structure. Azeal doesnt move until 8pm when he walks out of the fort and then runs east towards a rock. I followed him and when he stopped, he kneeled down. I handed him the coin given to me earlier. Hero Goxnok spawns. After a minute, he runs off north. Follow him. He will stop once for a minute, then run to the final destination. A spider spy will spawn there. Kill the spider, hail goxnok and kill him. Loot both the tome and the copy, then return to Cabilis and give Lord Qyzar the tome, copy and your kukri.
Log:
[Sat Oct 17 21:45:20 2020] You say, 'matter of betrayal'
[Sat Oct 17 21:45:20 2020] Lord Qyzar says, 'One of our agents, a hero by the name of Goxnok, has found evidence that the book entitled 'Charasis' has been taken from this temple and is to be delivered to an unknown foe in the Outlands. Go at once to the lower levels of the temple and greet Goxnok. Hurry, before he departs!'
[Sat Oct 17 21:46:50 2020] You say, 'Hail, *an Iksar crusader'
[Sat Oct 17 21:46:50 2020] *an Iksar crusader clicks his heels together at attention. 'Hail, follower of Pain.'
[Sat Oct 17 21:47:13 2020] You say, 'What of the charasis tome'
[Sat Oct 17 21:47:14 2020] *an Iksar crusader says, 'The Charasis Tome, the tome of the old city of Charasis. It was taken from this temple and must be returned. The one sent to [apprehend the traitor] who stole the tome must be [ready to depart] with me at once.'
[Sat Oct 17 21:47:29 2020] You say, 'apprehend the traitor'
[Sat Oct 17 21:47:29 2020] *an Iksar crusader spies the khukri sheath at your side. 'This cannot be. I was told a duke would attend the matter. Still, if the Lords have sent you, then you must be able to complete the task. The [traitor] most certainly must be stopped from delivering the [Charasis Tome]. The [recipients] appear quite formidable and I cannot handle such a deed, not single-handed.'
[Sat Oct 17 21:47:51 2020] You say, 'traitor'
[Sat Oct 17 21:47:51 2020] *an Iksar crusader says, 'I am afraid I do not know. The babble is that he is from Cabilis, but he could have been a disguised sarnak. Who knows? The tink is that at night within the Outland territory, near the old skinless outpost, they are to meet. We should depart at once. Go get outfitted and let me know when you are [ready to depart].'
[Sat Oct 17 21:48:10 2020] You say, 'recipients'
[Sat Oct 17 21:48:11 2020] *an Iksar crusader shows signs of fear and his face turns olive. 'I do not know. The [spider riders]! I have only heard tales of them from dying lizards. Evil skinless stubs. From the wounds inflicted on the lizards, I can tell they are vicious opponents. Bloated and frayed flesh, disembowelment. Their steeds must have also joined the fray, for some of the victims were covered in webs.'
[Sat Oct 17 21:48:30 2020] You say, 'spider riders'
[Sat Oct 17 21:48:30 2020] *an Iksar crusader says, 'As I have reported, the babble states they appear to be skinless stubs who ride giant spiders. Most encounters occur when the moon is high. Little is known about them and only in recent weeks have they begun to appear.'
[Sat Oct 17 21:48:43 2020] You say, 'ready to depart'
[Sat Oct 17 21:48:44 2020] *an Iksar crusader slings his pack on his back and locks his sheath. 'Very well. I shall follow shortly. You must depart on your own. Go to the plains of the old skinless outpost. Beware, they have returned and patrol the hillside. Keep an eye on the gates of the outpost. I will be disguised within their ranks, I shall kneel as a sign. Give me this coin as your token.'
@Firiona Vie:
[Sat Oct 17 22:52:06 2020] Tracker Azeal begins to pull his face off... it is a disguise! 'Aha! You have made it! I cannot see well in this disguise, but I thought I smelled you. I have [news of the Charasis tome].'
[Sat Oct 17 22:52:06 2020] You gain experience (with a bonus)!
[Sat Oct 17 22:52:27 2020] *Hero Goxnok says, 'The Charasis Tome has been scribed and now another copy exists. The traitor obviously wants to keep a copy for himself. I am told you will deliver both copies to Lord Qyzar along with your zealot khukri and you shall be awarded that of a crusader. Let us rest for a minute and then I shall show you the meeting place.'
Hero Goxnok says, 'Come along. If we get separated, look for the humanoid wolf camp and beyond the tunnel, you shall find the meeting place of the spider riders and the traitor.'
[Sat Oct 17 22:56:01 2020] Hero Goxnok looks over at you and sizes you up before continuing on. He says, 'We should continue, follow me.'
Confrontation:
[Sat Oct 17 22:56:57 2020] You say, 'Hail, a drachnid spy'
[Sat Oct 17 22:56:58 2020] A drachnid spy looks upon you with evil eyes and you hear a horrid chatter. Hairs rise from the spider's thorax. 'Greetings, creature. What a fine meal you would make!'
[Sat Oct 17 22:57:10 2020] You say, 'Hail, Hero Goxnok'
[Sat Oct 17 22:57:10 2020] Hero Goxnok sighs slowly, seeing the confusion on your face. He says, 'Yes, Yxunomei, I am the traitor. What I can gain by giving up this tome outweighs any patriotic obligations I may have once had. That city is dead, it is now time for us to grasp at our own destinies. I now give you two choices, Human. You can walk away and never speak of this to anyone...or you can die. What will it be?'
[Sat Oct 17 22:57:32 2020] A drachnid spy says, 'You shall not take the tome from me! I shall snack upon your blood-drained corpse.'
[Sat Oct 17 22:57:33 2020] Hero Goxnok says, 'Die by the power of Greenmist!'
[Sat Oct 17 22:57:48 2020] --You have looted a Charasis Tome from a drachnid spy's corpse.--
[Sat Oct 17 22:58:08 2020] Hero Goxnok's corpse says, 'You shall now be a wanted man... The Union of Vie shall punish you.'
[Sat Oct 17 22:58:08 2020] You have slain Hero Goxnok!
[Sat Oct 17 22:58:12 2020] --You have looted a Charasis Tome Copy from Hero Goxnok's corpse.--
Final turn in:
[Sat Oct 17 23:12:50 2020] Lord Qyzar says, 'You disappoint me. I must have the Charasis Tome and its copy along with your zealot khukri.'
[Sat Oct 17 23:12:50 2020] Lord Qyzar says, 'You disappoint me. I must have the Charasis Tome and its copy along with your zealot khukri.'
[Sat Oct 17 23:12:50 2020] Lord Qyzar says, 'Congratulations! You are now a true crusader, but there is no time for celebration. We have lost two of our operatives. Crusaders Golin and Fodcod were dispatched to seek out an ancient artifact, the [visceral dagger]. Where they have gone, I do not know. They have been gone far too long. Find them and return the dagger to me with your crusader khukri and you shall be a hero.'
[Sat Oct 17 23:12:50 2020] Your faction standing with Crusaders of Greenmist could not possibly get any better.
[Sat Oct 17 23:12:50 2020] Your faction standing with Legion of Cabilis could not possibly get any better.
[Sat Oct 17 23:12:50 2020] You gain experience (with a bonus)!
[Sat Oct 17 23:12:50 2020] You receive 1 platinum from Lord Qyzar.
