Jokanur Diggings (mission)

Mission Objectives
Travel to the ancient Istani ruins. Kormir must survive.


 * ADDED Obtain the tablet from Darehk and place it on the stone pedestal.
 * ADDED Place the two tablets on the pedestals.
 * ADDED Guard Kahdash while he places the tablet on the pedestal.
 * ADDED Find and defeat the Apocrypha.
 * BONUS Do not harm any more Sunspear Ghosts.

Primary
The primary objective is to pick your way through Fahranur, The First City to discover what was unearthed in the excavations and has begun killing the diggers. You discover it to be, and are then required to kill, the Apocrypha which appears to be a living tablet inscribed with a glowing purple symbol that can split into multiple pieces and take the general form of an elemental.

On the mission map the starting location of the ghost Darehk (and the tablet he is carrying) is point 1. The locations of the second and third stone tablets required to continue are given by 2 and 3. The ghost Kahdash, who you must protect to reach the Apocrypha, is given by 4. The Apocrypha itself is at location 5.

The city has numerous traps. The crusher traps cause instant death, but do not cause death penalty, the dart traps inflict the Madness Dart hex, causing -1 health degeneration for 10 seconds and the flame jet traps inflict the Burning and Crippled conditions.

Bonus
The bonus is very simple, you just have to avoid (or run from if you are attacked by) the remaining Sunspear ghosts. This isn't difficult as there are only two to avoid and although they are near the remaining stone tablets they don't give chase so you can simply run away once you have the tablet. If the bonus is being attempted with high level heroes then passive mode is recommended when near them. Kormir has a tendency to strike the ghosts, but she can be pulled off of them easily as she follows closely behind the party, and as long as the ghosts do not die, you can complete the bonus.

*Note: You do need to complete the mission to get the bonus reward.
