Find Terror Lord Cadrak (Newport Sewers  at 355, -456  •) .

You say, 'Hail, Terror Lord Cadrak'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Perfect, you are back. You know what is next right?'

You say, 'No not really.. what is next?'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Well we already know the contact told them about the meeting that was to take place. The next step is simple. Find the contact and stop him from telling anything more!'

You say, 'OK, whats the best way to do that?'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'The Paladins are just about as predictable as they come, they wouldnt do anything that would tarnish thier pristine image with the locals. With that being said, any actions that would raise eyebrows would be conducted outside of the city.'

You say, 'If they arent in the city, they could be anywhere!'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'That is true but we have the element of surprise on our side now. By this time they should just be finding out that the imposter placed in the tavern is now dead and they know we will be out looking for the captured contact. If they take him out of the city in a hastely manner then surely they left a easy trail to follow.'

You say, 'Follow a trail? I am no ranger, how do you expect me to do that?'

Terror Lord Cadrak flashes red with anger!

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Do NOT forget who you are talking to <Player Name>! Watch your tounge before i take it from you!'

You say, 'Forgive me Sir, I am just eager to finish this for you.'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'I certainly hope that is the reason for your outbursts, <Player Name>. Now back to the task at hand. I will make arrangements for a skilled tracker to meet you and hopefully he can pick up the trail. On the outskirts of the city where the hills start their is a small shack next to the wall. I will have the tracker meet you there, do you understand?'

You say, 'Yes Sir, I will head there right now!'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'A few more things before i dismiss you. Nobody can witness this at all, if somebody happens to be there.. take care of them. I will tell the tracker to wait until the coast is clear to make contact with you. Also when you find the contact try to find out what secrets he told them.. after that, make sure he is unable to speak anymore.'

You say, 'Got it Sir, I will not let you down.'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'If you fail, dont bother coming back.'

Find and kill Meldin (Centaur Hills  at 349, -1099  • Hut along the southeast portion of the wall) .

As Meldin's body slumps to the ground you notice a dark figure step out from the shadows. This must be the person Cadrak set you up to meet.

You say, 'Hail, A Hired Tracker '

A Hired Tracker says, 'Hopefully nobody sees us together... I would prefer if others didnt know i was offering my services to a cultest lacky. '

You say, 'The only one here was that poor chump, i doubt he will be talking about this meeting anytime soon'

A Hired Tracker says, 'Very well, lets get this over with so i can get paid and be on my way.'

You say, 'My thoughts exactly.'

A Hired Tracker says, 'From what i understand, i am to track down a small group of people who left the city in a hurry. Your in luck, I am almost positive i picked up the trail just over this hill. Whoever left it was in quite a hurry and did nothing to cover thier tracks!'

You say, 'Well that makes your job a lot easier then does it not?'

A Hired Tracker says, 'Whoever your after is traveling in a small group and one of them seems to be dragged behind. The person being dragged is the one your probably after right?'

You say, 'You are being paid to track.. NOT ask questions.'

A Hired Tracker says, 'Ha! Fair enough, i will lead the fearless Lacky to <his/her> target!'

You say, 'Just start moving Wood Elf.'

A Hired Tracker says, 'Heh, Follow me..'

Bug!

Sometimes the tracker stops shortly after zoning into Western Badlands. Instead of leading you to the informant, he leaves too soon, without guiding you to the correct area. If this is the case you can follow the western edge of the zone south until you see the informant, confessor, and armsman near a large rock at the location listed below. Simply engage the two enemies and continue with the informant afterwards and the quest is still completable.

A Hired Tracker (Centaur Hills  at 475, -1035  • Near hut at southeastern wall) will begin moving north toward the mountain passage east of the guard tower.

A Hired Tracker says, 'Please try and keep up!'

A Hired Tracker says, 'OK, they seem to have gone through this passage here en route to the badlands.'

Follow A Hired Tracker into the Western Badlands

You see the Tracker run right past you! You should probably try to keep up!

A Hired Tracker says, 'They definately came this way. These tracks are too fresh to be anyone elses!'

Follow A Hired Tracker out of the mountain passage.

A Hired Tracker starts to search the ground for the tracks.

A Hired Tracker says, 'Looks like here they decided to turn south. We have to be very close!'

When he stops, approach A Hired Tracker (Western Badlands at -1340, -1700 • Beside the large rock on midwestern zone edge).

You say, 'Hail, A Hired Tracker '

A Hired Tracker begins to talk in a hushed voice.

A Hired Tracker says, 'OK, your own from here. Try not to lose your head!'

An Armsman Recruit says, "Hey! Did you just hear that?"

Confessor Aleric says, 'Hear what? Stop being so paranloid, nobody followed us out here. We need to get this job done before one of the locals.. or one of those pesky hill giants stumbles upon us!'

Confessor Aleric says, 'Now, where were we?'

A Tortured Informant screams out in pain as the mental energies assualt his mind. His breaths are becoming more labored as time goes on. Confessor Aleric sighs at the poor man on the ground.

Confessor Aleric says, 'You do realize your only making it worse on yourself? I am a Confessor, it is my job to get you to talk and im rather good at it friend. I can make all this pain go away.. but its up to you..'

Confessor Aleric shakes his head in disapointment.

Confessor Aleric says, 'You really have nothing to gain from this you know. Do you think the Cult is going to welcome you back after this is done? No, they will kill you and your family just to prove some point. All I want is one simple answer..'

Barely hanging onto consciousness, the Informant begins to utter a few simple words.

A Tortured Informant says, "go.. to.. hell.."

An Armsman Recruit says' "Aleric this is getting us nowhere! He is obviously not going to talk. Lets leave him here and let the local wildlife take care of him.. i did see some rather large hungry looking spiders earlier. Besides I still cant shake the fact i think we are being watched!"

Confessor Aleric flashes red with anger!

Confessor Aleric says, 'Will you just shut up! I will get my confession! If you think there is something watching us, go take a look... I still have work left to do on our friend here!'

An Armsman Recruit begins slowly walking in your direction

An Armsman Recruit says, 'Aleric come quick! It looks like we have company!'

Confessor Aleric says, 'Time to die Shadowknight!'

Kill An Armsman Recruit (Western Badlands  at -1435, -1700  • At midwestern edge of zone) .

Kill Confessor Aleric (Western Badlands  at -1435, -1700  • At midwestern edge of zone) .

Approach A Tortured Informant (Western Badlands  at -1435, -1700  • At midwestern edge of zone) .

You say, 'Hail, A Tortured Informant '

A Tortured Informant speaks in a very labored breath, barely holding onto consciousness.

A Tortured Informant says, 'Heh.. i dont know.. which is worse. Being with them.. or.. seeing.. you.'

You say, 'Well whos fault is that?'

A Tortured Informant says, 'Trust me.. I.. I knew my fate was sealed.. when.. I told them about.. the meeting..'

You say, 'Then why did you tell them?'

A Tortured Informant says, 'I.. I.. had no choice.. They said they would.. kill.. kill my family!'

A Tortured Informant begins to cough up small amounts of blood.

You say, 'That is a shame, but it is not my problem. Do you know what it is I need to do now?'

A Tortured Informant says, 'Y.. yes..

You say, 'And what is that, friend?'

A Tortured Informant says, '..kill me..'

You say, 'Exactly.'

Kill A Tortured Informant.

As the blood slowly seeps out of the dead informant, you decide to make sure this wretched dark elf never speaks again.. in this life and the afterlife. You have a feeling that Cadrak would like this.

You receive Contact's Severed Tongue from A Tortured Informant .

Return to Terror Lord Cadrak.

Give Contact's Severed Tongue to Terror Lord Cadrak.

Terror Lord Cadrak chuckles in amusement.

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'It looks like our friend got what was coming to him! Its a shame really, I kind of liked the guy. Anyways, back you <Player Name>. '

You say, 'Yes Sir?'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'You have done better than even I could have hoped for! You have really come a long way in your training. I shouldnt be surprised though considering who your teacher is. None the less, it is my honor to promote you to full Cultist status!

You say, 'It is an honor Sir!'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Indeed it is! My last gift to you is.. rather.. special. The shield you are about to receive has been etched with dark runes that when activated have the power to instantly return you to these very catacombs! Most of the recruits who have started the training failed by getting themselves killed or have been cast out, you though, are one of the few who have passed all the tests!'

You say, 'I feel the terror and hate in my veins Sir, I am ready to accept the title of Cultist!'

Terror Lord Cadrak says, 'Take this shield <Player Name> and go out and spread that Terror and Hate you hold inside of you. In time you will become Fear itself and the perfect tool of Lady Marlow. Do stop back often though, you never know when the Cult will need you for another mission!'

You receive Dark Shield of the Entropic Recruit from Terror Lord Cadrak.

You gain 10,000 experience!!

You say, 'YES SIR!'
