Return to Jolk, and then kill the non-elite Shaman Gabacha to get the Shaman's Staff. Return to Jolk to collect your reward.
Dialogue[]
Initial Dialogue[]
- Dellalont
- "<Commander SuthranSuthran> thinks that we're reacting to whatever the Mau do, and that's a recipe for weakness.
- He's ordered us to seize the initiative--to attack them at their strongest point and force them to react to us for a change."
- "Our strength against theirs?"
- "Ideally we'd pit our strength against their weakness, [Player Name]--that's been our military doctrine, straight from Azphel himself, since the Cataclysm.
- But in this case a surprise attack should render their strength irrelevant.
- Their sentries will spot a mass attack long before it arrives. But a small group--or even a single Daeva--could catch them off guard."
- "I see where this is going."
- "Don't get ahead of yourself. Here's your mission: Approach the Black Claw Outpost and meet with Jolk nearby.
- He's our eyes and ears, and he'll know when the time is right for a surprise attack.
- And pay attention: Jolk has forgotten more about small-unit tactics than most Daevas will ever learn."
- "Blood for blood!"
Intermediate Dialogue[]
- Jolk
- "Approach quietly, Daeva--the Mau have keen ears.
- <Dellalont> said he would send a [Player Class] capable of a sneak attack on the Mau. I'm guessing that's you.
- If you're cautious and focused, you should be able to pick off the Mau one or two at a time. But get overeager or careless, and they'll overwhelm you."
- "I'll remember that."
- "Blood for blood, indeed.
- We're going to attempt a decapitating strike against the Black Claws. But first, a low-intensity probe should teach you about the local terrain and the opposition.
- Call it a field trip: test yourself by attacking the Brutal Black Claw Stalkers. As I said, caution and focus...they aren't run-of-the-mill Mau."
- "On my way!"
- (After killing the Brutal Black Claw Stalkers)
- "You defeated the Brutal Black Claw Stalkers so fast! Dellalont chose wisely when he ordered you to take this on.
- Got a sense of the topography and the enemy's movements, yet? You'll need to know the Black Claw Village like the back of your hand for the next mission...
- ...the real mission."
- "I am ready."
- "Go back to the Black Claw Village and take out High Spellshifter Abija. She is a shaman so powerful she essentially multiplies the Mau we face on the battlefield.
- If her spirit is too tough to break, then there is another way, my kin. She has a successor, Shaman Gabacha. One day he'll be as strong...or perhaps stronger than Abija, but for now his powers are still being nurtured. Kill him, and you'll do us all a great favor.
- I'm not asking you to kill both, [Player Name]. Pick one, take your allies and bury them, then return to me with one of their staves. Blood for blood."
- "They're as good as dead."
Reward Dialogue[]
- Jolk
- "Back so soon?
- I had my doubts that we'd actually succeed, but I figured a credible attempt would be disruptive to the Mau and thus advantageous for us, even if High Spellshifter Abija escaped.
- Give me the Shaman's Staff. I look forward to sending it back to Brigade
- "Here."
Failed Item Check[]
- "In order to seize the initiative from the Mau, we need to attack their leadership and decapitate it.
- Not that you need a reason to follow orders, but that's why your mission is to take out High Spellshifter Abija or Shaman Gabacha and bring the Shaman's Staff as evidence.
- Go and kill them. Now."
- "On my way."
Successful Item Check[]
- "On behalf of Dellalont, I congratulate you on your success. You showed Asmodae's strength today--you were bold, clever, and tenacious on the field of battle.
- This reward should help you complete further missions with the same tenacity you showed today."
Summary[]
Dellalont asked you to attack the Black Claw Tribe.
You received advice on the mission from a scout named Jolk. First you killed the Brutal Black Claw Stalkers, then you took out one of their Shamans.
