Dialogue
 * "By the Five, is that Vabbian girl still around? Kormir allows any wet-nosed puppy into the ranks, so I'm going to make her your problem. It looks like that Cryptic Scroll piece you found points in the direction of the Cliffs of Dohjok. If she's going to lead someone out on a wild drake chase it might as well be you. Now get out of here and let me get some real work done."
 * Accept: "Sir. Yes, sir. Getting out of here, sir!"
 * Decline: "Go order someone else around."

Intermediate Dialogue (Tahlkora)
 * "Okay! It looks like these are directions to a meeting place. The captains must be gathering to assemble the Cryptic Map. "


 * "Great! That means the captains are wandering around aimlessly looking for each other. If we can find them, we can steal their map fragments."'


 * "It looks like the scroll pieces from some sort of map. I can make our a...swamp...or is that a bog?"

Intermediate Dialogue (Captain Mindhebeh)
 * "You seem to have five parts and I have the sixth. I don't suppose the other captains gave those to you willingly, eh? Hmm. Well, I may be a littlr more accommodating. What say we strike a bargain? I give you the sixth piece and, in return, you don't kill me."'
 * Response: "A bargain, huh? We're always interested in a bargain."


 * "The bargain is quite simple. My right-hand mate, Savage Nunbe, will give you the last piece of the Cryptic Map, and you let this cowardly corsair live to see another day. Are you ready to make the trade?"

Reward Dialogue
 * "Here's the map piece Captain Mindhebehh promised. He's instructed me to help you decipher the map. You must have really made an impression on him."

Followup
 * Blacktide Den (Mission)

Walkthrough
Enter the Cliffs of Dohjok from Champion's Dawn. Follow the quest markers to find groups of corsair in the Cliffs of Dohjok. Each group has a leader, a corsair boss, but the group can usually be pulled separately to make the battles easier. Each leader carries a Cryptic Scroll Piece. Once you have all but the last of them, talk with Captain Mindhebeh for the last piece. As soon as you take the last piece from Captain Mindhebeh, you will be teleported to a cut scene, then to Blacktide Den outpost.

This quest can sometimes be difficult if you are around level 10 and going from Champion's Dawn. If this is the case, it's a wise idea to go from Beknur Harbor and pick up four extra henchmen at level 12. Using this method you will breeze through this quest in a matter of minutes.
