Walkthrough
After accepting the quest from Rendu, leave the Kodash Bazaar through the northern portal into The Mirror of Lyss. Head northeast to find Kehanni outside of the western entrance to the Grand Court of Sebelkeh. Kehanni will suggest you go to Resplendent Makuun to speak with Prince Bokka. (Before proceeding further, consider entering the Grand Court for reasons explained in the Notes section, below.)
 * Alternatively, map travel directly to the Grand Court of Sebelkeh if you unlocked it previously then simply exit southwest (despite the quest marker suggesting you to use the south-east exit) and speak with Kehanni who is near the exit.

Follow the edge of the lake, south and then east, until you see a carpet bridge ahead. Turn south and follow the river bank until you can cross over the river using a small bridge. On an island in the river you will encounter a boss, Shezel Slowreaper, and a Buried Treasure near the tree. Continue on to the southeastern portal, passing through Honur Hill on your way into Resplendent Makuun.

Ahead is a shrine with a rock outcropping behind it; however, behind the rock, is Jishol Darksong and a group of cobalts, which can easily be avoided by passing around the left side of the rock. The palace lies ahead but is maze like; it is easy to get lost. From outside the palace, here are directions on how to reach the Prince:
 * Up the steps to enter the Palace
 * Turn left, go up the steps and through a doorway
 * Turn left and go up another set of steps
 * Head east, past a shrine, and through a doorway toward a fountain
 * Turn right (southwest) and go through another doorway (bypass the Bokka Amphitheatre, for now)
 * Follow the red carpet to the northwest to speak to the Prince

Talking to Prince Bokka, he suggests you watch a play with him in the Bokka Amphitheatre. Head through the portal you passed earlier to meet up with Prince Bokka, Vaughn the Venerable and his allies. Speaking to Vaughn will start the play. The play will come to an end when Ernald the Exact, one of the actors in the play, says "This is my favorite part." All of the actors are now revealed to be enemies - part of Varesh's forces - and will attack your party.

Once defeated Prince Bokka will say he's leaving and direct you to Royal Finance Minister Oluda, back in Honur Hill, for a refund. (Despite what he says, the Prince will not leave. Interacting with him further does nothing.) Oluda is located right next to the Resplendent Makuun portal inside Honur Hill, so you can just map in. Talking to him will provide the quest reward; talking to him again will provide the next quest, Warning Kehanni.

Initial dialogue
Royal Food Taster Rendu
 * "Ah, yes! ! Vaughn the Venerable, the unknown-until-now Kournan playwright has graciously rented out the Bokka Amphitheature from none other than the esteemed Bokka the Magnificent himself! He has a very special performance that he says will sweep Vabbi by storm. He specifically had invitations for you to a rehearsal for the upcoming performance. Will you attend?"

Intermediate dialogue
Kehanni
 * "Prince Bokka rented his theatre out to some Kournan upstart director? That just doesn't seem right. With Varesh's forces moving in under the guise of protecting the princes, there might be more to this than meets the eye. When it comes to picking performances for his venue, Prince Bokka is a persnickety one. It could be the perfect time to schmooze Bokka into helping the Istani fight Varesh."

Prince Bokka the Magnificent
 * "We will be safe under Varesh's guard. For the amount of platinum that this Venerable fellow paid me for the private use of my amphitheatre, I could use some extra protection! Too bad the Istani drained their coffers on that fool's errand of an attack. Anyone with two eyes could see that was bound to fail. Enough talk of business! Come; let us make haste to my amphitheatre. You are just in time to witness a very special advance performance. Introduce yourself to Vaughn!"

Vaughn the Venerable
 * "What is the story about? Well, I didn't want to write something about a hero overcoming any odds or any succeeding in the end. I guess you could say it is a traditional tragedy of epic proportions. It will take your... breath... away, if, er, when you get to the end."

In-game dialogue
 * Stefan the Sonorous: "Our story begins in the far-off land of Tyria in the grand city of Ascalon many years ago. We find our hero desperately scouring the countryside in search of a gift to give his beautiful fiance...."
 * Stefan the Sonorous: "But all was not well in the land of Ascalon. Evil had turned its eye to Tyria and sought to sow dissent. A sequence of events was set in motion that would lead to the fall of this great metropolis."
 * Stefan the Sonorous: "Events most dire had struck Ascalon and left it reeling. But the prince knew what he must do and was not afraid."
 * Vaughn the Venerable: "Let's cross the mountains and go to Kryta! They don't have Charr there!"
 * Freya the Firm: "Like, roarrrrrr!"
 * Vaughn the Vernerable: "Have at ye, scoundrel!"
 * Freya the Firm: ""Like, ouch."
 * Vaughn the Vernerable: "Quickly, my fellow Ascalons! We must depart while we still have our legs!"
 * Merkle the Muscular: "My son. Merkle displeased. You no longer prince of Ascalon. You no longer Merkle son!"
 * Vaughn the Venerable: "As a boy I spent much time in these lands. Look at them now. Just look at them!"
 * Prince Bokka the Magnificent: "How predictable."
 * Stefan the Sonorous: "So, striking off in search of his destiny and a new home for his people, the prince traveled across the Shiverpeak mountains and headed toward Kryta. The journey was difficult, long, and somewhat boring, but they persevered. Until..."
 * Ernald the Exact: "The stone summit [sic] will not yield the Frost Gate quietly."
 * Ernald the Exact: "Your punishment for trespassing is death! Death I say!"
 * Vaughn the Venerable: "Um...line?"
 * Stefan the Sonorous: "It's 'You cannot save me.'"
 * Stefan the Sonorous: "And so, the prince valiantly laid down his life for his people...."
 * Vaughn the Venerable: "I don't remember that being in my copy of the script...., Stop improvising, you troll!"
 * Prince Bokka the Magnificent: "This play is utter tripe!"
 * Vaughn the Venerable: "Ernald! Time for plan B!"
 * Merkle the Muscular: "Merkle like plan B. Merkle like smash! SMASH!"
 * Stefan the Sonorous: "And then the valiant Kournans smote the Istani interlopers with a righteous fury!"
 * Prince Bokka the Magnificent: "Wait, what?"
 * Ernald the Exact: "This is my favorite part."
 * Prince Bokka the Magnificent: "Oh dear!"
 * Prince Bokka the Magnificent: "Oh my, this is not good... not good at all! Varesh must have changed her mind! I must hurry to safety in Ahdashim!"
 * Prince Bokka the Magnificent: "I am quite sorry about this! I must leave right away! Please speak with Royal Finance Minister Oluda for a refund."

Cinematic dialogue

 * Norgu: "So what are we doing here?"
 * Goren: "We're delivering a message for Prince Bokka."
 * Norgu: "I mean, why us?"
 * Goren: "Bokka asked us to?"
 * Norgu: "Exactly my point! Why us? It's beneath us! I'm an actor! You're . . . you. Why didn't he get some heroes?"
 * Goren: "I dunno. He didn't have any heroes around?"
 * Norgu: "And you know why that is? He drives them away! He's so sure that Warmarshal will protect him!"
 * Goren: "You think he's wrong?"
 * Norgu: "Why would Warmarshal Varesh send troops up here? Just to catch a couple of Sunspears? Please. There's not a Kournan within fifty miles of here!"
 * Goren: "Norgu?"
 * Norgu: "Yeah, Goren?"
 * Goren: "Do we run now?"
 * Norgu: "You bet. We run!"
 * Together "Ayeeeeee!"

Reward dialogue
Royal Finance Minister Oluda
 * "How embarassing! The esteemed Prince Bokka sends his apologies. He has since made haste to safer grounds but left this with me to give to you."

Trivia

 * The quest name could be derived from the Shakespeare play All's Well That Ends Well.
 * The cinematic dialogue is a parody of the play Waiting For Godot.
