Rilohn Refuge (mission)

Objectives
Destroy the Drought.


 * ADDED Protect Dehjah until she opens the entrance to the Mahnkelon Waterworks.
 * ADDED Make your way to the central reservoir.
 * ADDED Weaken the drought by shutting off the water pumps. X of 5 remain active.
 * BONUS Defeat the Drought without shutting down water pumps.

Primary
The party will be affected by the environmental effect Thirst of the Drought throughout this mission, which increases all received Earth damage by 50%. Use of the Ranger spirit Winter will negate this effect by turning all Earth damage to Cold damage.

When the mission starts, Dehjah will lead you through a few groups of Steelfang Drakes and Kournan troops to the entrance of the waterworks. She will run ahead of the party, heedless of whether you follow or not, and can easily die if she gets too far ahead. It is possible to avoid her at the start by running wide to the right, clear out the area up to the waterworks, then return and fetch her in safety.

Inside the waterworks, there are five water pumps that you can turn off to weaken the Thirst of the Drought. Each pump shut down will provide a 2% Morale Boost and decrease the effect by 10%; shutting down all five will eliminate the effect altogether.

The gate in the center of the second wall is guarded by a neutral Agent of Whispers, who will open it as you approach. There is another Agent at the center of the third wall, who will lead you to the northwest where he opens a gate into The Drought's chamber.

The Drought is surrounded by Droughtlings, most of which can be killed off without aggroing the Drought. The Drought's spells, especially Sandstorm, inflict extremely high AoE damage. Skills such as Broadhead Arrow, Concussion Shot, Spinal Shivers, and Maelstrom are very useful at interrupting the Drought's spells, while skills such as Union can be used to negate the damage.
