Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Captain Langmar

"I appreciate Gwen convincing you to rescue our forces, but let's not make a national holiday out of it.

"We're hoping to take advantage of the chaos you've sown in the Charr forces. If you find any Charr battle plans, tell me immediately. We can decode them to figure out their next moves."

I've decoded some Charr battle plans.

"Good work, <Character name>. You've uncovered vital information! I can't spare any troops right now. Do you think you can handle intercepting the Charr and disrupting their plans?"

I'll travel behind enemy lines and put a stop to their nefarious plans.

I'm not ready to deal with Charr forces right now.

Reward dialogue

SUCCESS: 1,000 Ebon Vanguard faction earned.

Notes

• To activate the mission, double-click on the decoder and drag and drop the associated Encrypted Charr Battle Plans into it. With the decoded plans still inside the decoder, talk to Captain Langmar, who will now have a dialogue option to enter the mission.
• When you accept this mission, Captain Langmar takes both your decoder and the battle plans that were inside it, so make sure your party is ready to go beforehand.
• The reward for this quest is received automatically after completing the objectives.
  • There is no reward in Normal mode if your Ebon Vanguard rank is 8 or higher.
  • If your party is defeated, you will need to acquire a new set of Encrypted Charr Battle Plans to restart it.

• Walking through the tar lakes will not cause the Tar environment effect.
• Capturing the Siege Devourer can make your task much easier.

Bug.The quest does not mention that the reward can depend on your rank and you will receive the success message even if you are ineligible to receive the reputation reward.
