[edit] Quest information

[edit] Requirements

A Nightfall character

Tahlkora must be present.

[edit] Objectives

• Explore the Cliffs of Dohjok with Tahlkora.
• Kill the corsair captains to gain more pieces of the Cryptic Scroll.
• You have [1..6] of 6 pieces in your possession.
• Get the last piece of the Cryptic Scroll from Captain Mindhebeh on the Cliffs of Dohjok.
• See Savage Nunbe for your reward.

[edit] Reward

• 1,000 Experience
• 100 Gold
• 10 Sunspear Promotion Points

[edit] Walkthrough

Enter Cliffs of Dohjok with Tahlkora in your party. Walk to each marker and kill the corsair Bosses there, they will drop a Cryptic Scroll Piece if you do, after you do this 4 times walk to Captain Mindhebeh and he will teleport you to Blacktide Den. There Savage Nunbe will give you the last piece.

This quest can be pretty hard due to the bosses, a good strategy is to start from Beknur Harbor or Blacktide Den since that allows you to have a party of 8 instead of 4.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Jerek

By the Five, is that Vabbian girl still around? Kormir allows any wet-nosed puppy into the ranks, so I'm going to make her your problem. It looks like that Cryptic Scroll piece you found points in the direction of the Cliffs of Dohjok. If she's going to lead someone out on a wild drake chase it might as well be you. Now get out of here and let me get some real work done.

Accept: "Sir. Yes, sir. Getting out of here, sir!"

Decline: "Go order someone else around."

When asked about quest: That silly piece of paper points to the Cliffs of Dohjok, right? So get going, I have more important things to do than babysit Kormir's sun children.

[edit] Intermediate Dialogue

Tahlkora: Okay! It looks like these are directions to a meeting place. The captains must be gathering to assemble the Cryptic Map.

Tahlkora: Great! That means the captains are wandering around aimlessly looking for each other. If we can find them, we can steal their map fragments.

Tahlkora: It looks like the scroll pieces from some sort of map. I can make our a...swamp...or is that a bog? (after the first captain)

Tahlkora: One piece more and it's complete. Yes, it's a map, and it shows some location in Lahtenda Bog. (after the fourth captain)

Captain Mindhebeh

You seem to have five parts and I have the sixth. I don't suppose the other captains gave those to you willingly, eh? Hmm. Well, I may be a little more accommodating. What say we strike a bargain? I give you the sixth piece and, in return, you don't kill me.'

A bargain, huh? We're always interested in a bargain.

The bargain is quite simple. My right-hand mate, Savage Nunbe, will give you the last piece of the Cryptic Map, and you let this cowardly corsair live to see another day. Are you ready to make the trade?

We are ready. (sent to Blacktide Den (cinematic))

We are not ready yet.

[edit] Reward Dialogue

Savage Nunbe

Here's the map piece Captain Mindhebeh promised. He's instructed me to help you decipher the map. You must have really made an impression on him.

[edit] Notes

• Tahlkora does not need to survive to complete this quest.
