Queen Elysa in Danger

Walkthrough

 * 1) Talk to Lord Dargeth in Arwic 2nd floor of the south of the arcane agent's house on the east side of town. (33.42N, 56.90E)
 * 2) * Route: Town Network to Arwic. As all four of the towns visited on this quest are in the Aluvian section of the Town Network, and a Town Network portal is usually just a short run from the NPC to be visited, using the Town Network speeds the quest along nicely.
 * 3) Go to Glenden Wood and speak to Messenger for The Stranger located in the basement of the arcane agent's house (29.70N, 27.79E). He will give you an Ingot.
 * 4) Speak with Yuudai in Rithwic 2nd floor of the grocery store (10.2N, 58.5E). The Ingot will disappear from your inventory.
 * 5) Head to 24.6N, 46.9E outside of Cragstone the house across from the arcane agent's house, you will find the NPC Aleesa Stateler together with 3 New Aluvian Champions and 3 New Aluvian War Mage Champions. They will not attack you until you attack them first.  Not attacking is KEY for weaker toons, if you don't attack but merely stand around or next to Aleesa as a Mage kills her you can then loot the bow and walk out (buffs wouldn't even be necessary).
 * 6) Kill the high Aluvian guards and Aleesa Stateler. Loot Aleesa's Longbow from her corpse.  ONLY ONE PERSON PER QUESTING GROUP NEED THE BOW.  Actually the 6 flunkies do not have to be killed and they quickly respawn if you do kill them. Thus having a strong mage that only kills Aleesa and lets you loot is the quickest way to obtaining the bow.
 * 7) Take the Longbow back to Yuudai in Rithwic. An event will occur and Queen Elysa will appear behind you. Turn around and talk to her. (if doing this with a group the others can talk to Elysa)
 * 8) Return to Lord Dargeth in Arwic for your reward (level capped 150M reward is based on NOT wearing an XP augmentation trinket).

Lore & Dialog
Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "Disturbing news has come from a stranger who insists he remain unknown." Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "Normally I would not trust such a person but his information was detailed, and contained many truths." Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "I need you to make contact with this stranger right away, for there is no time to lose." Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "Search for him in the town of Glenden Wood, and do whatever he asks without question." Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "Go now, and may luck be on our side."

The Stranger tells you, "It is good to see Borelean has decided my prophetic information to be the truth." The Stranger tells you, "You are the one he chose for this mission? Well I hope you are ready." The Stranger tells you, "You must trust the directions I give you, and do as you're told. Any falter in your actions could have effects that last throughout time. And then your name would be remembered for entirely different reasons...." The Stranger tells you, "Take this information to the man hiding out in Rithwic. He will direct you from there." The Stranger tells you, "No matter how crazy his directions sound, or how uncomfortable they may make you, you must complete his orders without fail." The Stranger tells you, "Go now, before history takes the wrong course." The Stranger gives you Ingot.

Yuudai tells you, "You came with word on the task at hand?" You hand over all of your Ingots. Yuudai tells you, "Ahh, this information is most useful. The target has been located and has little guard." Yuudai tells you, "We must act quickly. Go find the lady in purple armor in the house just outside of Cragstone." Yuudai tells you, "Her Mistress says this substance I have applied to your weapon will sever her tie to the lifestone as it severs her flesh." Yuudai tells you, "It sounds like she only has a couple guards with her. Dispatch of her and bring me back her bow as proof of your work."

Yuudai tells you, "I've already told you what you need to do, now get moving before we miss our window."

Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "I would go kill that man myself if I didn't think he would run at the sight of me." Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "Do as he says, quickly, and let's find out as much information as we can."

The Stranger tells you, "You brought all the information to him as planned?" The Stranger tells you, "Quickly follow out his instructions and bring him back the proof of your efforts."

Aleesa Stateler tells you, "An assassin is on the way here and we have to be ready for him." Aleesa Stateler tells you, "You must leave this area, it is too dangerous for a civilian."

You give Yuudai Aleesa's Longbow. Yuudai says, "Ahh you have succeeded!" Yuudai says, "Mistress will be very pleased with this indeed." Yuudai says, "Mesalina, inform Her at once about our success here." Yuudai examines the bow closely Yuudai says, "Something about this bow seems off, not as deadly as I imagined...." Elysa appears behind you. Elysa Strathelar says, "No that is not my bow, and it was not I who was killed." Elysa Strathelar says, "But if you do not tell me who was behind this, you may be the one who ends up dead." Yuudai says, "I will not forget how you betrayed me to The Queen, your day will come..." Elysa Strathelar says, "He can run, but no place in Dereth will shelter him now."

Elysa Strathelar tells you, "I thank you for discovering the man behind the attempts on my life." Elysa Strathelar tells you, "Apologizes for the misdirection and deception involved in this mission, but even you could not be allowed to know the plot at hand. We could not take any chances." Elysa Strathelar tells you, "I must lead the hunt on tracking down this fugitive, please be so kind as to return to my son and let him know everything has gone as planned."

Elysa Strathelar tells you, "My son, Borelean, can be found in Arwic. Please go to him and report what happened here."

Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "The mission was a success then?" Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "The details of the mission had to be kept secret even from yourself until the very end. The asassination had to look convincing. Do not worry however for the stand in queen and bodyguards arrived safely back at the lifestone as planned." Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "I only wish we had gotten to learn the identity of the witch behind this plan." Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "Hopefully we will not need to call on your services again anytime soon, however this wedding seems to be bringing forth trouble from all fronts." You've earned 150,000,000 experience. You must wait 27d to complete this quest again.

Speaking with the NPCs after completing the quest:

Prince Borelean Strathelar tells you, "I thank you once again for aiding our family in avoiding this tragedy. To think what might of happened to this kingdom if The Queen had been murdered. My soliders are tracking down leads on what vile woman could be behind all of this, but I already have my suspicions....." You must wait 27d to complete this quest again.

The Stranger tells you, "So The Queen has been saved then?" The Stranger tells you, "The plan was a success.... the future should be interesting indeed....."

Yuudai tells you, "Get lost. I don't care to even have a conversation with a traitor like you."

Speaking with the NPCs prior to starting the quest:

The Stranger tells you, "If it is adventure you seek, then go meet with The Prince of this fine land." The Stranger tells you, "Should he decide you are both skilled and trustworthy, he will likely send you back my way."

Yuudai tells you, "I do not know you, and I do not trust you. Leave this place before I get rid of you myself."

Update History

 * If you're doing this with a group: Yuudai disappears with each turnin, and takes about four minutes to reappear. Be sure to talk to Elysa, or you might not get a reward.
