Dialogue
 * "With the threat of plague subsiding, it seems the Kurzicks have grown bolder. Bold enough to draw the Guild of 1,000 Daggers into our ongoing conflict. The 1,000 Daggers have not meddled in Luxon affairs for almost two hundred years, and it seems that they need a reminder as to why. They are Canthans, and do not value what we value. They prize but two things: gold and blood. Gold is in short supply, but blood is always available. If you are willing, I would have you aid in the removal and replacement of their guild leader, one Lord Senkai. While you are there, slay the Kurzick War Captain as well. Speak to Captain Rion of the Halcyon, who will take Senkai's place. He will fill you in on the rest."


 * Accept: "You had me at "gold and blood.""
 * Reject: "Politics nauseate me. Forget it."

Intermediate Dialogue (Rion)
 * "They call that violence? I'll show 'em violence. Khim! Show 'em the violence!"

Reward Dialogue
 * "So Senkai is out of the way? Excellent. You have earned the favor of Elora, as well as this."

Followup
 * Protect the Halcyon

Walkthrough
From Zos Shivros Channel, take the north exit. Talk to Captain Rion, and continue north-north-east until you see a small bridge. The entrance to the bridge is on the west end, past a hostile appearing Canthan Peasant and Canthan Noble. Each time you come in range of a hostile looking Peasant or Noble, he will turn friendly, begging for mercy, but a group of 3-4 Luxon assassins will pop up nearby and attack you. Go across the bridge and work your way through the village and the assassin ambushes until you reach Lord Senkai.

Killing Lord Senkai will cause any remaining Luxon forces to come out and attack, as well as a considerable Kurzick force led by War Captain Womack. Kill War Captain Womack to complete the quest - you can map travel back to Cavalon for the reward, without having to kill the remaining enemies.

Hints

 * Carefully flush all the Luxon assassin ambushes before engaging Lord Senkai. When all are cleared, a group of Luxons will run in to engage you, and another group of assassins will appear. Once these are killed, some new, friendly looking, Luxon assassins will pop up, begging for mercy. These will neither help nor hinder you in your fights, but they do indicate no further Luxon forces will threaten you.
 * After you killed Lord Senkai you could stay in the back and move left or right and stay there. War Captain Womack runs into the building but the rest stays outside, so you can lure and kill War Captain Womack easily.
 * If you still have problems killing Lord Senkai and War Captain Womack, you may want to clear the area first (see first hint) before talking to Captain Rion, and only then engage Lord Senkai. Rion's small force tends to die easily, but can make a difference in the final fight.

Trivia

 * The name of this quest is probably a reference to either "The Train Job" - one of the Firefly TV series episodes, or the movie, The Italian Job.
 * The word Halcyon could also be a reference to a drug well known in the 1960s and 1970s in the United Kingdom as Halcion.
