Recover Lydon's Cage Key.

•  [Lydon's Cage Key]

Description

This place is no farm! Stillwater has been experimenting on the humans of Hillsbrad. These monstrosities here are all his creations.

That's not the worst of it, <class>. The aberrations that have the key to my cage are former Forsaken. Stillwater's experiments have the side effect of turning Forsaken into mindless zombies. Why do you think he's so afraid of letting this out? He knows that such a crime is punishable by true death.

Get me out of here! The infected sludge guards outside have the key!

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

	[Monstrous Shield]			[Aberrant Vest]
	[Sludge Guard Mail Vest]

You will also receive:

• 1,000 XP
• +250 reputation with Undercity

Progress

Get the key!

Completion

<Lydon takes the key from you.>

I'll let myself out, thanks.

I have never been so angry! Stillwater won't get away with this. I will present his head to the Banshee Queen myself.

You and I will work together, <name>.

I don't know about this one over here, but I'd prefer he stayed behind.

Notes

Upon completion

Lydon and Johnny accompany the player.

Johnny Awesome says: You're not leaving me to rot in this place! Take me with you!
