the person in the cave is a monk. the oberlord is not that tough. and the bandits in the cave con rdy to attck for everyone every single race.why because they are bandits of course
He look really bored, maybe it is Gharg Overlybored... like this game can get sometimes... imagine sitting there ust waiting to get killed by someone, wouldn't that suck?
This guy is a wussy. I went in with my 46 sk and I cleared all that **** no problem. When I was lower level I tried to kill a servant and all of them came and raped me but at 46 they are all green(Gharg is light blue). I have no problem single pulling now. He drops "Syrthax Building Plans." I have no idea what they are for. Also the guy who said you get the Syrthax Sword is a liar because ive cleared that room many times and the jester has never droped anything. The jester says "You wish to hurt me?" or something like that when you attack him.
I was a 44 Shm when I went in to see this guy. Fully buffed and with buffed pet. Cleared the first room NP but when I tried to pull from the main room, Jester and all skellies aggroed me and kikced my ***. Tried again by going after Oberbord directly and same thing. All conned litght blue. Will try again in a few levels just for the fun of it.
I Have done this once and it did work.!! You have to kill Gharg, Then after kill all his servants but not the JEster yet!!! once all killed kill the jester. He will drop the book!!!!!!!! The book is then used in a quest you give back to gharg. He will give you Blade of sythrax 23/29 1hs all meleeing classes. 5 to all stats and saves. You can duel wield two I suggest you all check it out!!!!!!!
I don't know whether this is a true post or is just Xpert talkin out his backside because he thinks it is fun luring peeps to their death. However, if you plan on trying out his little scheme I recommend bringing some good back up.
I went in as a 54 barb shammy with pet to take a break from gathering bone chips (Cabilis faction is a drag!). Everything cons green and indifferent to me except for Gharg who was dubious. I had read about the nasty HT's etc. so decided to send my pet in to take the brunt of the attack. Everything in the room agroed my pet... it was actually pretty funny. I didn't stick around after that knowing I was next so again cannot confirm or deny Xpert's claim.
I plan on going back in the next day or two with a couple friends and doing it correctly... I will post what we find.
Here is my poor pets experience... Gharg does mention a book, so who knows?

I'm guessing FoB is in for a facelift like Innothule and Feerrott experienced.
Why?
Because of this Sythrax mystery.
Here are the facts: 1) Ober shouts about "Synthrax avenging his death" when he is killed 2) Skeletal jester says something along the lines of "Guess you're not in control, dummy" when troll dies 3) Why is the throne empty? Something tells me it isn't there for that stupid troll who is never sitting in it anyways 4) lesser spirits are starting to pop up everywhere in the zone when certain mobs are killed 5) ghost whispers on the beach that weren't there before
Something is setting up to happen in FoB. Something big.
I got a feeling the name Sythrax is going to be a name we're all going to dread real soon.

He does not walk anywhere near Cabilis, iksar need not worry unless they swim out too far :) . If you do run into him he would be an easy task for the Crusaders though...
If you give the troll something he says that he appriaciates it. As for the other skellies (including his pet) they just respond "they threw it in their other pile of junk. Hope it is usefulll.
The loc on the tunnel entry is actually underwater at the loc 2824, -462. This is quite close to the shore, and near the eastern end of the shoreline. There is a column sticking up out of the water that marks the entry to the tunnel that leads in to what seems to be a crypt. You might want to get enduring breath (or a similar spell) cast upon you before you try to enter. The underwater portion of the tunnel is fairly long.
The Troll Shadowknight, Gharg Oberbord, conned dubious (and, of course, green) to my 51 halfling druid which I thought was a little odd. I'm not used to seeing troll shadowknights who do not want to kill me on sight.
:)
He harm touched me for 311 hp when I rooted him and then he sent his pet after me. He went down quickly for me, (hardly surprising considering my level, of course) and he had less than 1384 hp, though I am not sure how much less than that he had. I used my 160 hp root spell followed by a pair of 612 hp fire-based DDs to drop him. All hit for full damage for me.
I received no faction hit for killing him.
His pet was about normal for a shadowknight pet given his apparent level.
He dropped nothing more than the plans when I killed him.
I also killed a skeletal jester in the same room because I was curious about what he would drop. He dropped nothing for me.
The skellies in the room were all indifferent to me, by the way, and none of them (other than his pet, of course) agroed on me when I attacked Gharg, not even the one next to him at what looked a bit like a throne.
I have heard that he drops a very nice necromancer only book that has right click charm undead, but the thingy is that is it HIM that drops it or a necromancer in Kurns tower (very rare as poopy spawn) they person who I read this from was not very clear.
I have heard mention of caves in the FoB, and thought they were talking about the other exits of Kurns. I am currently looking for those. I have found this cave and temple, is this the only can in FoB?
Hi, there are 3 other caves, a spider cave, and abandon cave (noting spawn here), and a bandit cave, which has some very high level stuff, I went in there with a 15 sk and only lasted about 7 sec, there are LOTS of rogues in there, the love backstabing, and there is a named MoB there but i forget his name
I think its the shadow knight faction "crusaders of greenmist". I am a shadow knight and i think he conned "indifferently". He has a pet and a blade weapon, so he IS a shadow knight.
Some of you have this all wrong. He doesnt attack you and neither do his jesters, servants, and his pet. He is definitely a shadow knight. I have tried giving him some books that i bought in warriors guild from a war historian, but he didnt seem to care about them. I gave him copper and he said something like "I need da book". No need to fear him, he wont attack. Does anybody know what book he wants?
