• 24 57
• 9,200 XP

Progress

Are you willing to listen to my proposition?

Completion

My, my. Today certainly has been full of surprises!

Now, mortal, I'm curious what has brought you back to the Maw.

Notes

Loop clockwise to the northwest and head up the stairs to find Brethlun the Brand. Aggro him:

Brethlun the Brand says: You will fall, and I will claim another weapon for my collection.

Defeat him, loot the key, then return to Darion's cage and free him:

Highlord Darion Mograine says: My thanks, <name>. Now that I am free, I should soon regain my strength.

Highlord Darion Mograine says: How long have I been trapped in the Maw? A day? An eternity?

Highlord Darion Mograine says: Careful. The Jailer's eyes are everywhere.

Darion walks outside. Suddenly, a Mawsworn Myrmidon lands in front of him.

Mawsworn Myrmidon yells: You will never escape the Maw!

Moments later, Darion, the player, and the Myrmidon are stunned for a few seconds as a broker swoops in.

Ve'nari says: Ah, I was curious what the Mawsworn were searching for. You are that mortal who swept through and thwarted the Jailer's festivities.

The Myrmidon disintegrates. Darion and the player are freed.

Ve'nari says: I am Ve'nari, a humble broker trapped in this land of torment. I have a proposition for you. Come!

Ve'nari and Darion walk to the west.

Highlord Darion Mograine says: Why would you aid us, broker?

Ve'nari says: Your presence here draws attention. The sort of attention that's bad for my business dealings. No offense, of course.

Talk to Ve'nari to turn in.
