[edit] Walkthrough

The first objective of this quest is easily approached from either the Gate of Torment or the Gate of the Nightfallen Lands. Follow the quest pointer to meet the missing patrol, who will be under attack from 2 torment mobs. Defeat the attacking groups and talk to Captain Yithlis.

Captain Yithlis has befriended a margonite rebel, called The Lost, and Abaddon isn't happy. Three waves of torment creatures will attack your position, so be prepared for battle! If you can defeat them, Captain Yithlis will reward you well.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Commander Thurnis

"Demons assault us daily. Abaddon moves ever closer to freeing himself. Now one of my patrols has gone missing. This particular patrol, we call them the Oddbodies, is of questionable merit and ability, but I need every being who is willing to fight. Still, it would be foolish of me to throw more guards away in a failed rescue attempt when the lost scouts may already be dead."
"Perhaps you can find Captain Yithlis and his patrol? If you accept this task, speak to Archivist Zisthus: he may have some information that you will find valuable."
Accept: "Captain Yithlis deserves the same loyalty as any other soldier. I'll find him and his patrol."
Decline: "They're probably dead. Not much of a loss, though."
When asked about quest: "Dialogue the quest giver provides when asked about the quest while it is active."

[edit] After meeting Captain Yithlis

Garfaz Steelfur: "This is as good a place as any to make a stand, Captain. Our new human allies are welcome to join us in the desperate fight. Yes, this is a good way to die."
Thenemi: "I'm not going to die here! Stop talking that way, Garfaz. How much gold do you have, stranger? Perhaps we can buy off these Margonites...."
The Lost: "I know my people. They will try to destroy us. We must not let them."
Igraine: "In other words, Thenemi, the demons might kill you. If one of my spells goes wrong, I might, too. Why not just fight?"
Captain Yithlis: "Quiet, my friends. This is a good place to make a stand. Yes, even you, Thenemi. Igraine, ready ice spells. Garfaz, front and center. You will be our wall. It is time."
Scout Ahktum: "On, no! They're coming! Run for your...I mean...fight for victory!"

[edit] Personal Dialogue

The Lost

"The Margonites are a dead race. We do not have children. We do not change from the old ways. My people are as stagnant as a fetid pond. My only consolation is the thought that soon there will be no Margonites left to plague the world."
"We were wrong to devote ourselves to Abaddon."

Captain Yithlis

"Containing Abaddon has cost us countless lives, but so long as one of my people remains, we will fulfill our sacred duty."

Thenemi

"I don't trust you, stranger, but then I don't trust anyone. Present company included."

Scout Ahktum

"I was a devout man who followed the Five True Gods. I did my best to serve Elona. I went into Fahranur, the First City, on Kormir's orders. Look at what my devotion and my service won me...an eternity of torment!"

Garfaz Steelfur

"Greetings, human! Have no fear! If we encounter demons you can hide behind me. They won't lay a claw on you!"

Igraine

"Oh, hello. Do you know where we are? It's all so very strange. I'm not certain how I got here. If I have to spend all of eternity keeping Abaddon at bay, then...well...at least it's a worthy cause."

[edit] Reward dialogue

Captain Yithlis

"Hurrah! We wouldn't have survived without you, my friend. For what it's worth, you have the gratitude of the Oddbodies."

[edit] Notes

  • Before speaking to Captain Yithlis, it's probably a good idea to clear the area of any Margonite mobs nearby, to avoid any accidental aggro during the main battle. If working with a combined hero/henchman party, it may also be prudent to plant a party flag by Captain Yithlis's group to ensure the party doesn't run too far out while fighting.
  • This quest and its immediate follow-on, combine well with Breaking the Broken master quest, although if you pursue them in this fashion, it's best to take Breaking the Broken, then leave Gate of the Nightfallen Lands to do The Missing Patrol first.
