Council Junior Researcher - Brother Mine

Head to Sorcerer's Labyrinth and inspect a prototype, a gargoyle, located by Eerizar. Go just past Eerizar's, door down the corridor and up the stairs in the castle. To get to the castle you have to drop down to the pit and go through the maze or go up through the village area. The village way is more straight forward. The hardest mobs that you have to clear hit around 200 and some mana drain.

Upon hailing a prototype the inspection part of this quest is complete. Thereafter, you need to collect 3 x Record of Construction which drop from any mob in the castle area (most often from golems). Once you have them go back to a prototype and be ready for a hard fight. Hand the 3 Record of Construction to a prototype. It will give you back 3 x Record of Construction and agro your party, at which point you need to kill it. Loot Record of Existence from a prototype's corpse. Go back to Evinthas and hand him 3 x Record of Construction and Record of Existence to finish the quest.

The Prototype is not something to be careless with. as most of the castle mobs it manadrains and it switches between Whirlwind, Flurry, and Auto Riposte. i found out the hard way trying to duo it so hopefully this helps prevents another tragedy as such.

Find Councillor Evinthas (Thurgadin  at -106, 288, 2  •) .

You say, 'Hail, Councillor Evinthas'

Councillor Evinthas says, 'Ehhh...' Evinthas sighs, shivering in his robe. 'Greetings, <Player Name>. Welcome to the far north.'

You say, 'Is there any work for me to do?'

Councillor Evinthas says, 'Certainly.' Evinthas hands you a list. 'Which item would you like detail about?'

Branral Iceforge says, 'Tha's right, ye ain't got much to say now, do ye? Yer Council needs us fer protection here cause yer plans ain't worth tha ice thar chipped on! We're *cold* here, elf, and thar ain't enough sunshine and smiles to keep yer prissy like alive this far north, less'n they got cold steel to wear. Kindly shut yer trap while yer betters are talkin'. <Player Name> might be one of ye by name, but tha heart of a dwarf beats in thar. Ye need us to keep ye safe and ye knows it, so act like it.'

You say, 'What are we looking for from the labyrinth?'

Councillor Evinthas says, 'You may have heard, <Player Name>, that the Sorceror's labyrinth is now ruled by a unique golem named Eerizar. That statement is *mostly* correct, save only for one word: unique. One of the pages you brought back, near the end, records a brief mention of a protoype golem that the Sorceror made, but then deactivated. You must go to the labyrinth, deep in the heart of it, and find the golem. Study it. If possible, activate it. Learn what you can and bring what you find back to me.'

Find a prototype (Sorcerer's Labyrinth  at -23, 246, 25  •) .

You say, 'Hail, a prototype'

Without question, this is the prototype Evinthas was talking about. It hums quietly as you watch it, some magic still clinging to its body. However, you would need to know more about how the golem accepts commands before being able to activate it. You should search the fortress for records of its construction, at least three, then bring them back here and use them on the golem.

Gather and give three Record of Construction to a prototype to activate it.

Kill a prototype and loot Record of Existence from its corpse.

Give Record of Existence and the three Record of Constructions to Councillor Evinthas.

Evinthas leafs through the records of construction, then wordlessly reads the record of existence. When he is finished, he hands the book to his familiar. It begins to scribe a copy as Evinthas turns to you. 'You have done the Council--and perhaps Eerizar--a great service today, <Player Name>.' The familiar passes back the record of existence. 'We will take the copy. Keep the original: you've earned it.'
