Dialogue
 * "The Lionguard have uncovered information about an attack in North Kryta Province. The missive mentioned information about creatures that appear to be similar to the demons you said were plaguing Elona. You seem to be the expert in these things, so I'd like to call you in for help. Can you travel to North Kryta Province and help Olias with these disturbances?"
 * Accept: "You asked the right person. If demons have arrived in Kryta, I'll stop them."
 * Decline: "Kryta, you say?! Maybe when I have more vacation time built up..."
 * When asked about quest:

Intermediate Dialogue 1
 * Olias: "I don't care where you come from, demon. All serve Grenth in the end."
 * Olias: "I am the right hand of Grenth. Non shall escape me...not in this world, nor the next."

Intermediate Dialogue 2 (Olias) 
 * "Figo sent you? Good. A demon tried to drag me through one of their portals. I saw darkness beyond... and strange tentacles. I could hear a terrible weeping, as if a thousand chained souls suffered in agony. Then, a skeletal hand reached out to take mine, leading me from that place of torment."


 * "I can no longer deny the power of the Five Gods. Grenth lifted me to safety; I shall serve him the rest of my days."


 * "Please take this letter to Mantle Knight Karriya, my former commander. It is my resignation from the White Mantle. If I return, he will never allow me to leave, and I must do Grenth's work now."

Intermediate Dialogue 3 (Mantle Knight Karriya) 
 * "You have news from Olias? A letter of resignation? Let me see that!"


 * "By the gods, how horrible! I suppose I can understand his crisis of faith after such an awful experience. But I wish he had come to talk to me about it. I guess all I can do now is hope he sees the error in his decision... and pray for his lost soul."

Reward Dialogue
 * "Olias's experiences with those disturbances unnerves me. What kind of horrible monster do these demons serve?  I will pray for him.  Perhaps he will realize his error and come back to the White Mantle in time."

Walkthrough
This quick quest will unlock Olias as a hero for any character who completes the quest.

Exit Lion's Arch through the north gate, where you will find five Lionguard soldiers waiting for you outside. Take a left and cross the bridge until you meet Olias. The moment you get near him, five level 24 Margonites attack (one Cleric, four Sorcerers), and battle ensues.

As per standard procedure, kill the Cleric first, Sorcerers second. The sorcerers are aeromancers and deal out some hefty spike damage, so it's not an easy fight. After having killed them all, speak with Olias again. You will get a resignation letter that you must deliver to Mantle Knight Karriya, and then you must report to Figo. A short walk to D'Alessio Seaboard to deliver the letter, and a quick warp to Lion's Arch, and you are done.


 * A monk with Protective Spirit could help considerably here with absorbing some of the Sorcerer's spike damage.
 * It is recommended that you take either a team of human players with you or some higher level heroes, as the level 10 henchmen available from Lions Arch will die very quickly.
 * The AI for the NPC soldiers you take with you appears to be bugged. At present they often run towards the Margonites, then turn before reaching them and run back to you, only to start the whole process again - never actually causing the Margonites any real damage.
 * If you have not completed The Ascalon Settlement and are using a Prophecies character it is easy to start the quest outside Lions Arch and will provide additional reinforcements in the form of Devona, Mhenlo, Cynn and Aidan.
