Talk:Lambs to the Slaughter

A guild? Skuld  13:07, 5 May 2006 (CDT)

Shadow Blades here is supposed to be a group of peeps, but the link in the article takes to the sword type called Shadow Blade. Not sure how to fix that.--Dirigible 21:30, 25 May 2006 (CDT)

Script Usage
Do you get the quest reward if you just trigger the script with Chan the Dragon's Blood? Take the southern entrance to the Undercity (Wajjun Bazaar) and then find Chan. Trigger his script, so he starts walking with his spawned Am Fah. His way will cross the point, where the Shadow Blades await you with the Obsidian Flame. I tried this today, but already had the Obsidian Flame in my team. Chan killed the Shadow Blades without any losses. So my question is, do the Shadow Blades spawn when you reach the Obsidian Flame or is the script usage with Chan possible? This would shorten this whole quest to a 15 min. run. --Nemren 07:33, 4 June 2006 (CDT)

Easier to start from Nahpui?
Personally, I found it quite difficult keeping even one of those Obsidian Flame assassins alive, through all the fights needed to get to the Shadow Blades. They drop like flies. Imho, it's much easier entering the Undercity from the entrance near Nahpui Quarter, working your way towards the OF assassins. You'll be doing very little killing that you don't need to do anyways, and this will make the trip with the OF assassins much easier.--Dirigible 02:32, 8 June 2006 (CDT)


 * I agree with this comment, it's how I do this quest and makes things much easier RossMM

The bug
The comment in the article that the bug occurs when you kill the leader too quickly is incorrect. I did the quest and it occured, which I assumed was because I had killed him too quickly as stated. I then re-started (zoned) and did it all again, but kept my distance whilst he gives his speech. He then turned red but none of the others did, so I waited to see what happened. He started attacking the other members, killing one, and then they all became enemies and I killed them to get the quest reward. RossMM 16:25, 26 June 2006 (BST)

 * Note: I ran into the glitch today (Jul 6, 2006) and waited around for about 10 minutes. All of the sudden the Shadow Blade turned red and I was able to kill them to finish the quest. &mdash;The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.32.154.76 (talk &bull; contribs).

Glitch fixed
I just did this quest and don't see any of the glitches or problems reported. I arrived, one of the Shadow Blade assassins started talking, he finished talking, and all of them turned red. --Ab.Er.Rant (msg Aberrant80) 12:29, 30 July 2006 (CDT)
 * I just did it and it's still bugged. - BeXoR 05:38, 4 August 2006 (CDT)
 * I lured some Am Fah over that pop out down the stairs from the shrine. We hid in the tunnel west of the area and the Am Fah killed the Shadow Blade Assassins one by one. When there were only two left the remaining ones turned red and we killed them and got the update. - BeXoR 05:45, 4 August 2006 (CDT)


 * Same here, just did this quest last night with a guildie and the glitch still occurs. In order to complete the quest, the Am Fah must be lured into range of the Shadow Blade (but make sure the Obsidian Flames do not enter into the fray, as they must survive until the battle between the Am Fah and Blade ends). It seemed once the two groups began fighting, the Blade turned hostile, but we didn't even need to fight as both groups ended up eliminating each other, and satisfying the requirements of the quest.

 * Just another status report. Did this quest 4 times yesterday (all different characters), and the bug occurred 3 out of the 4 times. Bleh. Thank goodness for the Am Fah! --Zampani 10:56, 23 October 2006 (CDT)

Titlte=Novel of Ronald Dahl
$$Insert formula here$$ The Title of the Quest, Lambs to the Slaughter could refer to a novel, Lamb to The Slaughter, written by Ronald Dahl. I do not see any simililarity between the quest and the novel but someone might find one.


 * Given some of the obscure references with skills it can't be ruled out, but it's also an expression used in English: http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/like+lambs+to+the+slaughter.html RossMM 10:47, 3 January 2007 (CST)

Even better it could reference to that Slaughter of the Lambs movie with that one guy that eats people. :) -- Shooting Arrows 21:17, January 26, 2007 (EST)
 * I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Silence of the Lambs, not Slaughter. Now hush, and pass the fava beans! --Zampani 15:12, 27 January 2007 (CST)
