Worst mission ever! NO mission in EQ, ever, has given me as much grief as this mission. From bugs, to aggro, to mobs despawning, to the inability to zone back in once captain is engaged without insta aggro/death. Seriously, who designed this?

The Darkened Sea Info & Guides: Overview | Progression & Task List | Raiding | Visible Armor This group mission begins with Thubr Axebringer (click for map image) in the western wing of Degmar. As this takes place in an instanced zone, it is timed (six hours). Pre-Requisites for Requesting: - Completion of "A Rising Storm" (Tempest Temple) - Completion of "Gathering Clouds" (Tempest Temple) - Completion of "Clearer Skies" (Tempest Temple) - Completion of "The Edge of Balance" (Katta Castrum: Deluge) - Completion of "The Abscent Scholar" (Katta Castrum: Deluge) - Completion of "Just Recompense" (Brother Island) - Completion of "The Cover of Night" (Brother Island) - Completion of "Loyal is the Heart" (Caverns of Endless Song) - Completion of "Leave No Brother Behind" (Caverns of Endless Song) - Completion of "Two Sides of the Shield" (Caverns of Endless Song) - Completion of "The Sacred Profaned" (Degmar, the Lost Castle) - Completion of "Crying for the Dead" (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Say "memorial" to request the task and "go" to zone in. At the end of the previous task, you saw: NPC behaviour update (2015): an antendee - mez: yes, root: no a disgusted attendee: mez: yes, root: no a dolorous attendee: mez: no, root: yes an angry attendee: mez: yes, root: yes Thubr Axebringer says 'You'll see... now they'll come... We'll show 'em all at the [memorial]. We'll make 'em see. Ya can't forgive unless ya see...' You say, 'Hail, Thubr Axebringer' Thubr Axebringer turns restlessly on the stone pedestal. 'Ya cannot rest without forgiveness... ya can't forgive unless ya see... the [memorial]... we can rest...' You say, 'A memorial?' Thubr Axebringer says '[Go]! You come too, priestess! You must see!' You have been assigned the task 'Burden of the Past'. The time has come for Thubr to perform his ceremony. Will the dwarves of Degmar listen and understand? You say, 'Let's go...' Thubr Axebringer says 'Yes...' LOADING, PLEASE WAIT... Speak with Thubr in the Sanctuary 0/1 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) You say, 'Hail, Thubr Axebringer' Thubr Axebringer is breathing heavily, hands on his knees. 'They come. It's time for us all ta see... take 'em. You'll know when it's time ta lay down our sins.' Speak with Thubr and hear the commencement of the memorial 0/7 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Hail him until the task updates. You can be sure the dwarves in attendance will love it. Thubr Axebringer raises his raw voice. 'Come! The blood runs down our hands! Lay 'em before Brell! Let our tears wash 'em clean! Thubr Axebringer waves the The Sacred Rites of Forge and Forest. 'It be a great sin above our heads! In the book... dwarves and elves together, as it should be!' Thubr Axebringer opens the book but doesn't look at it. 'See what it says?! Brothers and sisters! But where are they?! Where are yer brothers and sisters?!' Thubr Axebringer shouts 'The pews... too empty... too many missing. Why're you here?! Because they're not!' Thubr Axebringer breathes heavily again, his words sticking in his mouth as he tries to read from the book. 'Brell and Tunare, hand-in-hand... walk the caves and copses...' Thubr Axebringer shouts 'QUIET!' Thubr slams shut the book as he hears a dwarf fidget in a pew. 'This is for you, for us! SHOW RESPECT!' Thubr Axebringer shouts 'Guilty, all o' you! Rage, weakness, unfaithfulness... You let go o' Tunare's hand! Then ya cut off her hand! And then her head!' Thubr throws the book to the ground. 'You are guilty of MURDER!' Walk near Thubr to lay down the corpse of the elf 0/1 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Now you have a dead elf on hand. Tell Thubr to continue 0/1 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) You say, 'Hail, Thubr Axebringer' Thubr Axebringer's cheeks glisten. His voice fades to reverence. 'See what we did... corpse o' the elves... corpse o' their memories... corpse of our dignity...' an attendee shouts 'The long-ear deserved it!' a disgusted attendee shouts 'What about my family?! They deserve an apology from the long-ears!' Four of the dwarves in attendance attack Thubr Axebringer. Defeat the angry dwarves 0/4 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Kill the four dwarves for the update. Thubr Axebringer will tank them, so you can pull them one by one if needed instead of taking all four on at once. They are of average difficulty for Degmar, are mezzable and rootable/snareable. A few of them may have a lot of hitpoints. NOTE: These mobs (and all mobs in this task) are leashed to the Sanctuary. Defeat the next group of angry dwarves 0/5 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Same as above, only five this time. Tell Thubr to continue 0/2 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Hail him until the task updates. Thubr Axebringer shouts 'See what ya bring without forgiveness?! More death!' Thubr Axebringer pounds the floor. 'Yer all hollow as an empty mug! Who will make amends?! Remember when we was once full...' an angry attendee shouts 'Remember when me father was alive?! Remember how his screams turned ta gurgles when the long-ears slit his throat?! I'm proud o' the number I killed!' Defeat another group of angry dwarves 0/4 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Repeat as above. Tell Thubr to continue 0/3 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Hail him until the task updates. Thubr Axebringer shouts 'Brothers, stop! Don't throw yer lives away! Just confess!' Thubr covers his mouth as through holding something back. 'Just... confess...' Priestess Glihelin yells at Thubr, the concern visible on her face. 'End this madness before everyone is killed! What is done cannot be changed! There are some things for which you cannot atone!' Thubr Axebringer coughs as though trying to dislodge something from the back of his throat. 'Why won't they listen? Why won't they confess? Let Tunare see the truth...' Walk in front of Thubr to place the statue of Tunare 0/1 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Tell Thubr to continue 0/15 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Hail him until the task updates. Thubr Axebringer shouts 'You broke the statue and the covenant! Now look again! Look at Tunare's face!' Thubr points with his whole hand at the statue of Tunare. 'Who will confess?! Who will REPENT?!'' Thubr Axebringer does not say a word. The temple is silent except for Thubr's anxious breathing. Thubr Axebringer opens his eyes. 'No one?' he says to the floor. Priestess Glihelin calls out gently but with a quaver in her voice. 'Thubr, what do you want to confess? What do you want to tell Tunare?' Thubr Axebringer's breaths begin to sound more like sobs. 'I told 'er, though she weren't there... we said goodbye ta Firiona... I touched 'er gravestone and made a promise: I'll protect her people.' Thubr Axebringer shouts 'But I was a LIAR! Drunk that night, and the next, and the next! Nobody needed me axe; nobody needed me protection! Nobody needed a drunk!' Thubr Axebringer shouts 'The name was 'Alebringer' in Kaladim! Oh, there's Alebringer begging for coppers in the streets, how sad! Spare another pint for pity! 'Twas always pity or laughter!' Thubr Axebringer's eyes swell as the tears roll. 'They laughed; I drank -- drank 'til the laughter was faraway thunder. The night was so dark. Not enough lamps. I stumbled.' Thubr Axebringer finally looks upon the face of the dead elf. 'Couldn't see his face; couldn't see his hands. Just a shadow of a cloud caught in the streetlamp... then a glint... a flash of lightning ta strike me down? Thubr Axebringer sobs. 'I used ta be Axebringer... and I brought it. The cloud vanished. The silver pieces rained on the cobblestones.' Thubr Axebringer touches the chest of the skeleton. 'That elf... no one else ever tried ta give me silver.' Thubr Axebringer says 'Thubr traces a line down the elf's skull from forehead to jaw. 'A valley full of dark rain... Nobody saw. Not enough lamps. He rests under the North Kaladim road, with his pack and silvers. Tunare never saw. Firiona never saw...'' Thubr Axebringer cries as he strokes the dead elf's face. 'I'm sorry... now ya know... Tunare knows... Firiona, I'm sorry... I didn't know. I didn't know... forgive me...' Thubr Axebringer leans over suddenly and retches. Breathing heavily, he lies down and closes his eyes. Priestess Glihelin looks nervously at the door of the room. 'Thubr, Tunare hears you... but we need to leave. The residents of Degmar do not share your heart. They do not feel the guilt you do. Let us leave before they add my blood to that which has already been spilled!' Captain Gurshock and five guards appear (non-aggro at this time). Speak with Captain Gurshock 0/1 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) TASK LOCKS HERE Upon hailing, the guards rush off to attack Priestess Glihelin while Captain Gurshock stays and fights. (The guards may attack you, instead, due to assist range if the Captain aggros you right away.) You say, 'Hail, Captain Gurshock' Captain Gurshock Still alive and incitin' a riot, Priestess?! I'll do to ya what we shoulda done a long time ago, even before yer kind went crazy! You tried ta kill us! Ya even got Degmar, but ya can't get all of us! We'll get ya first! Defeat Captain Gurshock and her guards 0/6 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Some of them AE rampage. Captain Gurshock hits for a max ~19,000 and casts "Double Axe" (proc for 32,500 dmg mitigated). If any guards are still alive while she's under attack, she summons them to her aid: Captain Gurshock says 'Defend your captain!' The Captain has line-of-sight aggro; the guards are of standard aggro. Guards are mezzable, but immune to root/snare. The Captain is immune to all crowd control. All of them see through all forms of invisibility and most have a lot of hitpoints. All of them 'corpse camp' (meaning they remain wherever they are pulled). Like all mobs in this task, they are leashed to the room in which they spawn (if a mob is leashed, it drops all aggro and warps back to its spawn point). NOTE: Due to the Captain's line-of-sight aggro, if you fail the fight and have to zone back in, and she's within sight of the zone-in point, you will have her immediate attention upon zoning back in. Speak with Priestess Glihelin 0/1 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) You say, 'Hail, Priestess Glihelin' Priestess Glihelin says 'Aventurers, we should leave. Let Thubr alone. He has caused enough trouble already...' Speak with Thubr 0/8 (Degmar, the Lost Castle) Hail him until the task completes. A chest with loot also spawns at this time. The task is repeatable with a 6-hour lockout timer from the time of request. Thubr Axebringer sits up, holding his head in his hands. 'Fine job, Alebringer... Priestess, I'm sorry. I just want ta make things right...' Priestess Glihelin sighs. 'Then stop heaping your mistakes on top of each other. You have told your truth, but we are not the ones who need to hear it. Go with Firiona; she needs you.' Thubr Axebringer says, 'But what about you? What about the dwarves? And Neckchi wanted help with his dome... and...' Priestess Glihelin says, 'I told you: The dwarves do not share your heart. Look at the dead! No, there will be no workers for Katta Castrum; there will be nothing left of Degmar after insanity runs its course.' Priestess Glihelin says, 'But I will remain here. It was my home, and it will likely be my grave. As I said, there are some things for which you cannot atone. Some things cannot be undone or made right.' Priestess Glihelin says, 'You are not without hope. You are not of this place. Go where you were meant to go, and say what you were meant to say. Your life is not over, even though you ended one. Go.' Thubr Axebringer wipes his mouth and nose on his sleeve. 'I'll go with Firiona... after one more sleep. Adventurers, speak with Quigley on Brother Island, and find Lyirae and Galeth. They took the ghost ship from the island... Priestess, I will come back for you...' Priestess Glihelin says, 'Don't forget the last time you made a promise to an elf.' Priestess Glihelin is visibly shivering. 'I shouldn't be here... We should [leave]... The dwarves are numerous, and I'm defenseless. Thubr is still drunk. He dragged me out of the temple, saying I had to see this, that this was a memorial for my people. I do not want it to become my actual memorial...'

Task locks between these steps:
Speak with Captain Gurshock 0/1 (Degmar, the Lost Castle)
Defeat Captain Gurshock and her guards 0/6 (Degmar, the Lost Castle)
Speak with Captain Gurshock 0/1 (Degmar, the Lost Castle)
Defeat Captain Gurshock and her guards 0/6 (Degmar, the Lost Castle)
On kill Captain and guards step, killed captain and all but 1 guard. Last guard is nowhere to be found. No tracker, so I can't use that, they nerfed xtar, so I can't use that to check if the mob is even in the zone anymore. Not seeing a way to complete this short of starting all over again.

Don't know if bugged or not, or fixed by patch (didn't see it in the notes).
Task says Kill Captain and her guards 0/6.
i.e Captain and 5 guards, NOT 6 guards.
Completed toady and all worked "as intended" :)

Captain Gurshock leashes, has around 9million hit points, so you can set up east side and pull the guards first

Good point ~!
Captain does indeed have line of sight agro. If you set up in the northeast corner prior to Captain going active, you can avoid her eyes and pull the guards off the priestess one by one without Captain involvement. Once guards dead, then you've got a single Captain.
