[edit] Walkthrough

Come out of Longeye's Ledge or Doomlore Shrine, then follow the arrow to find Anton. All that is required is that you walk near him - you do not have to actually talk to him. Go around the corner and down the beach, then towards the Charr camp. There will be 2 Charr, a Blademaster and an Axemaster walking back and forth between the entrance and the fire. There are some Grawl behind bars, but you can't interact with them in any way, so just ignore them, although Vael might appear right in front of them. You can try to kill the boss and his group, but it's extremely annoying without a team of nukers with Meteor Shower and/or Firestorm. Monks are also very nice. What's so hard about the boss's group is that not only is the boss a Paragon/Monk or Monk/Paragon, but he has a Charr Prophet in this mob. Therefore, you can kill the prophet and he will be Resurrected by Chaelse Flameshielder, or you can kill Chaelse Flameshielder and then he will get Resurrected by the Prophet. Either way, unless you have a better build than most people do, you cannot win. Personally, I think it's easier just to kill those guys and then massacre the group guarding Scout Winslow. If you kill Chaelse and his mob, then it's a simple cinch. Just beat the prophet near Winslow and it's practically over. Another way to gain a good nuke is to defeat and claim the Siege Devourer just north of the eastern end of the bridge outside of Doomlore Shrine. Devourer Siege should do enough damage that the charr can be easily overwhelmed by the rest of your team.

Alternative: An easier, but slightly longer, way to complete this quest is to repeat the Against the Charr quest. Once that mission is complete you will spawn back in the Charr camp. There will only be one small group of Charr with only one Prophet. Kill them and walk up to Winslow and the quest is complete.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Captain Langmar

"It is good to find you well, [Character Name]. I have a task for you."
"I have sent Scout Winslow on a sensitive reconnaissance mission, but he has failed to return. I sent Anton, one of my best soldiers, to find him. He has not returned either. I trust my men. I do not let trust blind me to reality. Something has happened, and I need you to investigate."
Accept: "Well, since you asked so nicely..."
Decline: "What makes you think I'll come back, either?"
When asked about quest: Both Anton and Scout Winslow were last seen heading east through Grothmar Wardowns.

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Anton:"Silence! You move with all the grace of a one-legged Moa. Do you want to give us away?"
Anton:"Ah, I see. Captain Langmar sent you... to bring back my body, no doubt. Her concern touches me like a dagger. But I am more than capable to handle this situation."
Anton:"However, you are here now. Tell me, do you know why Assassins wield two blades?"
Anton:"Because we have only two hands. I'll not turn away extra sets of hands no matter the source. Let us find Scout Winslow. But tread carefully."
Scout Winslow:"Thank you, thank you. I thought I was doomed. DOOMED!"
Anton:"Pull yourself together, man. Are you a soldier, or a mergoyle frolicking in high tide?"
Scout Winslow:"Sir...? Um, a soldier, sir. Yes, sir! A soldier."
Anton:"Then tell us what you learned, scout."
Scout Winslow:"Yes, sir. Your lead was solid, sir. Before I was captured, I heard one of the Charr mention Rend Ragemauler. It appears he has been recalled to counteract their recent losses."
Anton:"So he is here, finally...after all these years. Quickly, tell me about the Charr that spoke of Rend Ragemauler."
Scout Winslow:"That's all I know, sir. I was captured before I had a chance to get in closer."
Anton:"Useless! You would better serve the Vanguard as a pastry chef. Very well. I shall simply have to rip out the tongues of every Charr I find until one flaps loose with the information."
Anton:"You! <name>! Inform Captain Langmar that I am proceeding on ahead. I have...business...with Ragemauler."

[edit] Reward dialogue

Captain Langmar

"My men are alive and well? That is welcome news. We can ill afford to lose any men at this important juncture. Thank you for your report. You shall be justly compensated for your efforts. I am concerned, though, that Anton did not return with you. You say he mentioned Rend Ragemauler? He and I shall talk of this when he returns."

[edit] Notes

  • To minimize the amount of Charr at the camp, complete the primary quest Against the Charr. You should only encounter 2 mobs by completing this quest.
  • You only need to kill the group closest to Winslow, the other big group may survive.
  • For a clearer, direct path to Anton, head south from Doomlore Shrine.
  • Try to make use of the Siege Devourer in the north.
  • If the Plan A quest is available, then Vael can be triggered to temporarily empty most of the camp
