Dialogue
 * "Good day, stranger. I am Curator Ruras of the Ascalon Athenaeum in Rin. I'm on an expedition to bring back valuables antiquities and artifacts from Elona, but alas, the guide I hired, a man by the name of Kane, ran off the other day and hasn't returned. If you are looking for work, I will pay you to find him for me."


 * Accept: "I'll find him."
 * Reject: "You hired a guide who got himself lost? Ha!"

Intermediate Dialogue 1
 * Curator Ruras: "If you do not find my guide, you can forget about the money."
 * Chessa: "Are you kidding me? if we go out there we'll never come back either!"
 * Larano: "Yeah, what he said!"
 * Curator Ruras: "When we get back to Rin, I am going to make sure the two of you never find decent work again!"
 * Chessa: "What are you going to do? Write me a bad reference? Ha! That's rich!"

Intermediate Dialogue 2
 * Margonite Cleric: "Puny human, tell me where the others are and I'll grant your soul a quick release. Deny me that knowledge and your soul will know a whole new dimension of pain!"
 * Kane: "I told you, I don't know what you're talking about. Let me go!"
 * Margonite Cleric: "Let me reiterate: tell me where the ghosts of the other humans are located, or your soul will be devoured."
 * Kane: "Arrrgh! I haven't seen who you're looking for. I'm not a ghost, and I don't know any ghost! Get away from me!"

Intermediate Dialogue 3
 * Kane: "Thank you for freeing me! Can you lead me back to safety? I have no idea where I am."

Reward Dialogue
 * "He was delayed by Margonites, you say? I'm sorry, but it is a proven fact that they are a myth! Nice try. At any rate, thank you for bringing back that lazy excuse for a guide. I suppose you can have his pay for today since he obviously did not earn it."

Walkthrough


This quest is very straightforward. Find Curator Ruras just outside of Lair of the Forgotten, then just get to the quest marker on your minimap to find Kane - he's located near the collector Chinwe. Kill the Margonites (1 Margonite Cleric and 5 Random Margonites), and return to Curator Ruras. The fight takes place on rock, so you can't kill them with the wurms.
 * Note: Kane will not appear if anyone in your party has completed this quest previously. Also, every party member must have the Wayward guide quest for him to spawn atop the hill.
