[edit] Quest information
[edit] Objectives
- Investigate the area plagued by graven monolith attacks.
- See Officer Lohru for your reward.
[edit] Reward
- 2,500 Experience
- 200 Gold
- 30 Lightbringer Points
[edit] Walkthrough
The place where you need to go to is in the southwestern corner. It can only be reached via the Junundu. The quest is complete once you near the quest marker and are able to see the Graven Monoliths inside the temple area. Take note of hidden Mandragor groups along the way, but since your party is inside Junundu, they will pose no threat. Once you arrive at the designated location, the quest is actually complete and you can map travel back for your reward; you are not required to clear the temple of monoliths (see the notes below on why you might want to).

[edit] Dialogue
[edit] Initial dialogue
Officer Lohru
- "You must be the unbound ones that my master has found useful. I oversee the reclamation of his domain. Most of my men have been sent to deal with Varesh. Recent patrols have reported a great increase in the number of graven monolith attacks in the southwest area of the Sulfurous Wastes. If my master has seen you fit enough to continue living, surely a few rocks wouldn't give you any problems, would they?"
- Accept: "I've seen worse. Bring it on."
- Decline: "Sticks and stones may break my bones...so I'll let you handle it."
- When asked about quest: "Have you anything to report on the graven monoliths in the Sulfurous Wastes?"
[edit] Reward dialogue
Officer Lohru
- "What? There is a temple of Abaddon? And Margonites are there? They must be using the temple to awaken more monoliths. This is grave news, indeed. With Palawa's troops otherwise engaged, we're wide open for an attack! I must report this news to my master at once. You have done well. I see why he spared your life."
[edit] Notes
- The quest Requiem for a Brain takes you to the same temple, so you may want to do both at the same time.
- Since there's a good number of monoliths inside the temple, it's a good place to try to get Inscribed Shards needed for the Sticks and Stones quest. Otherwise you may have great difficulty farming for the shards later.
- The three Margonite Clerics that spawn inside the temple while this quest is active are not allied to the monoliths; they will not heal the monoliths and they are in their own aggro group.
- There is a Treasure Chest inside the temple area.
