Dialogue
 * "As you've no doubt heard, there have been a number of recent disappearances among the townsfolk. Thus far we've assumed they fell victim to the Stone Summit or the local menaces. The truth, Grenth forgive us, is something much worse. One of our Order, a promising Necromancer named Verata, has been experimenting with new ways to enhance and maintain summoned minions. Normally this would be a good thing, however, in his lust for power Verata has been kidnapping Ascalon citizen for use in his experiments! He was also spotted waylaying travelers coming up into the mountains from Ascalon. We must stop him, quickly and discreetly, before anyone can link the disappearances with our Order."

Walkthrough
Verata is found near the Ascalon Foothills. You have to fight a few bone fiends to get to him. When you see him, he will raise a Bone Fiend and walk away. Return to Yak's Bend to get your reward.

This quest can be done easily at the same time as Shiverpeak Stragglers or Oswalt's Epitaph. For shiverpeak stragglers, youy simply go a bit to the east, and can easily lead them back along the path you cleared. For Oswalt's epitaph, simply go to the ascalon foothills where he is.

=Notes= If you are a combination of Necromancer and Warrior, do this quest at the same time as Securing the Vale. Both will lead you to the area with Verata.
