Walkthrough
Go into Regent Valley to look for Paulus. If you're having trouble finding the path to the portal, follow the creek bed in the direction of Ascalon City a short distance until you can climb a hill on your right. Once through the portal it's a fairly straight path; just follow the quest arrow.

You'll find that you are too late to save him. You'll need to click on his body to obtain his holy symbol to take back to Grazden. Beware, though. Party members will become poisoned by the spot. Return the symbol to Grazden.

A member of our order, named Paulus, was sent to Regent Valley to investigate a strange poisonous area.  He is overdue to return, and I grow worried about him, as he is somewhat prone to rash action.


 * Will you go to Regent Valley and find Paulus?"

Reward dialogue

 * "Paulus is dead? This is grim news indeed.  I fear that we may be fighting a losing battle here.  Our numbers dwindle while the enemy's keep on increasing&hellip;  I keep telling myself not to give in to despair, but it is getting more difficult with every death that I couldn't prevent."
