Fearstone Spies

Commander Berengot in Kelethin has asked me to make contact with a spy in Fearstone that is disguised as an orc slave. To make contact, I first need to ask her if the ore is coming out blue. After that, I must say, 'The tree stirs in the Faydark'. After I get the report, I need to bring it back to Berengot.

Find Commander Berengot (Greater Faydark  at -702, 223, 77  • Kelethin, warriors' guildhall) .

You say, 'Hail, Commander Berengot'

Commander Berengot says, 'Hello, <Player Name>. I am Berengot, Commander of the Kelethin Protectors and the current defence from the Frilakh. Have you come to join the fight?'

You say, 'I have come to join the fight.'

Commander Berengot says, 'That is good to hear! We can always use a few extra <Player Class>. I actually was about to send someone to Fearstone to check in on one of our spies. Interested?'

You say, 'I am definitely interested.'

Commander Berengot says, 'Good! Kelethin's best spy is a Athicinian Enchanter that goes by the name 'Red Helen'. She is currently disguised as one of the orc captives working in the Fearstone mines. She is a professional, and will only respond if you say the correct passphrase. Talk to her, get her report, and come back to me. We have been noticing increased Frilakh activity near the lifts, and I need to know if it means something important.'

You say, 'I can collect the report. What is the passphrase?'

Commander Berengot says, 'There are two. First, ask her if the ore is coming out blue. She will respond like any other orc, but then say, 'The tree stirs in the Faydark.' That should let you establish communication. Bring me back her report. Good luck, <Player Name>.'

Find a bloodclaw captive (Fearstone Keep  at 110, 401, -13  • The mines.) .

You say, 'Is the ore coming out blue?'

The bloodclaw captive looks confused, he quietly barks out to you in a rough voice 'Where master?'

You say, 'The tree stirs in the Faydark.'

The features of the orc suddenly relax and look less savage. He whispers to you in a surprisingly soft feminine voice, 'We cannot talk here. Meet me behind the Iron Ore shop outside of here in two minutes. Do not be late and come alone.

Find Red Helen (Fearstone Keep  • Behind the bladeforger's building) .

You say, 'Hail, Red Helen'

Red Helen says, 'Hello, <Player Name>. You must be a new scout. Sorry for the run around, but I need to be sure before losing my disguise. You can call me Red. Why did you make contact?'

You say, 'Commander Berengot is asking for a report. Scouts are seeing a large increase in Frilakh activity near the Kelethin lifts.'

Red Helen says, 'Of course. It does not surprise me. Talk of driving the Wood Elves out has been increasing amongst the Frilakh. Worse, more and more Frilakh are becoming Fright Speakers and Shadow Seekers. Take this report back to the Commander. Did the commander say anything else?'

You receive Report for Berengot.

You say, 'No, but I might be back after he reads the report.'Red Helen says, 'Okay then. I am going to go back undercover and try to find out more in the interim. Good luck, <Player Name>.

Return to Commander Berengot and hand in the report.

You gain MISSING TEXT experience!

Berengot takes the report from <Player Name> and begins to read, 'This. This is not good. She says that more and more of the Frilakh are being magically imbued somehow. She thinks it has something to do with an artifact held by a Frilakh they call The Blackscale. We need to find out more. Return to Red and tell her that I clear you to be 'operative zeta.' She will explain further.

Return to the Fearstone mines.

You say, 'Hail, a bloodclaw captive'

The orc grunts, looking at you dumbly..

You say, 'I need a meeting.'

The orc nods once before whispering to you in a feminine voice, 'Same place as last time, <Player Name>. Do not talk here.

Go to Red Helen.

You say, 'Hail, Red Helen'

Red Helen says, 'What did the Commander say?'

You say, 'He was not happy, but not surprised. He told me to tell you that I have been cleared for 'Operation Zeta', whatever that means.'

Red Helen says, 'Operation Zeta? You are absolutely sure that is what he told you? You are cleared, or I am cleared?'

You say, 'I am sure. He said that *I* was cleared for Operation Zeta.'

Red Helen says, 'Well.' Red Helen looks at you in confusion, 'I wonder why he would want you to do it instead of me... Well, orders are orders. What did you need me for, then?'

You say, 'Wait! What is Operation Zeta?!'

Red Helen says, 'He told you that you were cleared but not what to do?' She sighs, 'Operation Zeta is the code word for taking my infiltration from being disguised as an orc, to being disguised as an actual Frilakh. Which, let me tell you, is a much harder disguise to pull off. You need to disguise as a Frilakh and figure out what sort of ceremonies the Frilakh are conducting to make themselves so powerful.'

You say, 'How do I do that?'

Red Helen says, 'You do not know how to work illusions like that?' Helen sighs again, 'I guess that means we are going to have to work together. I have been watching the Frilakh closely for months now, trying to see how they pick who gets to go through the ceremonies next. I have discovered that a specific Frilakh, a Scale Guard by the name of Frusp, has been picked to be the next Fear Speaker. You need to find Frusp, and make him 'disappear' where no other Frilakh can see. Water is always good to kill something in secret. After that, come back to me. I need to go before I am missed. Good luck, <Player Name>.'
