Walkthrough

Find Nomaria Doseniar located in the Qeynos Aqueducts at loc 347, -614 (Optional)

You say, 'Hail, Nomaria Doseniar' (even at Dubious she responded)

Nomaria Doseniar says 'Welcome! It is good to see our disciples can still outsmart the guards of Qeynos and make it to the Shrine of Bertoxxulous. Our ranks are best filled with disciples such as yourself. We have need of you. Do you [wish to serve] the Lord of Disease [or not]?'

You say, 'I wish to serve.'

Nomaria Doseniar says 'Aye! That is good. Of late, we have heard news of a message that will be sent to the Treefolk of the Jaggedpine. Antonius Bayle will send word to the Jaggedpine that certain requests will be met. We must intercept this message. That is all you need to know. Go and find Antonius Bayle's messenger, Gharin. He should have the message. Get it by any means necessary and return it to me. Go now!'

Find Gharin in South Qeynos hanging near the Bag n Barrel and sometimes wandering to his room on the third floor of the Lion's Mane Inn.

You say, 'Hail, Gharin'

Gharin says 'Good day! I see they have good stock for the future armies of Qeynos. I, myself, wish to be a soldier one day instead of doing this [job].'

You say, 'What job?'

Gharin says 'I am a [messenger] for Antonius Bayle. Not big enough to fight, but light enough to run all the way to the [Jaggedpine] tomorrow morning. I sort of wish I did not have to go. I'd rather be at the Lion's Mane.'

You say, 'What is Lion's Mane'

Gharin says 'Ahh. The Lion's Mane. If I were there, I would be enjoying a stein of Crow's [special brew]. They are expecting their first shipment of the brew. I believe if I had a few or more of those lagers, I would be very ill. I would probably have to have someone else deliver the note for me. Still, I wish I had one of those fine brews.'

Hand Gharin 4 Crows Special Brew to receive the letter.

Note: There are two kinds of Crow's Special Brew in the game. Crow's Special Brew with an ' Apostrophe in the name comes from Tattered Pouch quest will not be accepted by Gharin.
The correct kind Crows Special Brew is purchased from Crow himself, it comes in a red flask with black lines on it, and is drinkable via clicking like other booze. This is the only kind of Crow's Special brew that works. However, this is a limited supply item (20). Once he sells out, its all gone until a server restart or respawned by killing him but he's somewhat tough to solo and will give you negative faction hits

Gharin says 'Oohhh! My head. Stop the pub from spinning. I cannot make it to the Jaggedpine feeling like this. Please take this note to Te'Anara of the Treefolk. Here is a little silver for the favor. Thanks. Ooohhhh..'

You gain experience!!

You receive 1 - 2 silver
You receive A Sealed Letter

Return to Nomaria Doseniar and hand her the Sealed Letter

Nomaria Doseniar says 'Good work, child of the plague. Now take this forged note to Te'Anara of the Jaggedpine Treefolk. Be sure to watch your back, now. The guards of Qeynos surely know who you are by now. They will not stop to ask questions.'

You receive 8 silver
You receive: Sealed Letter [Note To Jaggedpine - fake] which reads: 

Te'Anara, I Regret to inform you that my city shall not impose the tax increase for bearskins as you requested.
 Furthermore, we shall not be arresting poachers for extradition to the Jaggedpine.
 Signed,
 Antonius Bayle

Go to Surefall Glade aka JaggedPine and find Te`Anara at loc -209, -441 to hand her the Sealed Letter

TeAnara says 'This is dreadful news. We have been nothing but kind neighbors to Qeynos. Now Antonius Bayle wishes to abuse our friendship. This will not sit well with the others. Begone, messenger!'

You gain experience!!

This leads into Plaguebringer Proof quest

This triggers Tovax Vmar to drop off his note. Tovax only spawns at night at 9PM in Qeynos Hills. He is pretty low level, and walks slowly. The real problem I had was him getting killed by Guards and other wandering NPC. This part of the quest should be considered more like an 'Escort'

Tovax walks to his spot, stands there for a while, drops the note, then runs off. Tovax is on Bloodsabers faction, so just follow him at a distance to make sure you don't interrupt his stroll.

Whether you give the "Real" or forged note (from Gharin's Note subquest), they both trigger Tovax.

At one of these locations he will drop the note.

  • 4761, 163, 7
  • 4439, 371, -2
  • 4845, 78, -7

If you don't pick up the note, it will despawn.

The note is called "A Sealed Letter" (identifies as "A Letter to Opal"). It reads: 

Opal-- Things are moving ahead on schedule. The sewer complex is complete and we have begun to gather forces.
We are concerned about the Lifers' interference. Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
--- S'ragg

Hand the Sealed Letter to Sragg_Bloodheart ? (need to confirm this)

Recommended Strategy
Here is the tricky part, which requires some teamwork and may be needed for both the good and evil branches of this quest. Have a friend create an evil newbie and take the fake note to Surefall (you'll be dubious to all, not KOS yet heh). Get your higher lvl main person in qeynos hills, at Tovax Vmar's spawnpoint. This is located at the wall behind the guard tower that is near the road to west karana, and down the wall a bit towards the qeynos zone. Once tovax has spawned, (the spawn time on the spawn point is 6min, and tovax only spawns at norrath night, between 8pm and 8am Norrath time. daytime spawns Scruffy the rat instead.) stick to him like glue, and make sure to Repeatedly (like once a min) ooc a message asking the other players not to kill tovax, as you are using him for a QUEST. Once you have done this, tell your newbie evil char friend to give the fake note to Te'Anara. She will KOS the newbie.

This event triggers Tovax. He will keep walking until he circles back around to his spawnpoint behind the guard tower. The second he touches his spawn point, he will immediately turn towards the ruins and begin a non-stop walk towards them. Once he finally gets to the ruins, assuming the Glowing Black Stone campers don't nuke him, he will stop, wait for 30 seconds or so, then drop a note (looks like a bag) and sprint off to his spawnpoint again. If you open the letter, its from S'ragg (SK guildleader in qeynos bertoxx shrine) to Opal Darkbriar (necro guildleader in freeport sewers innoruuk shrine, and good guy in disguise in caster shrine in FP). One option is giving this note to Roesager Thusten, Pally in the Temple of Life. If you do this, you get xp, but there seems to be no continuation of the quest (see the Plaguebringer Proof quest).

I am not sure who you deliver it for the evil side. Opal was tried with no success.

Need all dialogues, current faction hits, missing quest items, /loc of quest mobs, any other missing information.
