Walkthrough
When you come out into the Domain of Secrets, get close to Keeper Kauniss and he will begin a slow march around the Margonite temple in the area. He will stop in the middle of the temple and perform his quick incantation. At that point, a large group of Skiro'ken Assassins will appear in the middle of the temple. You no longer have to keep Keeper Kauniss alive after he does his incantation, but you do have to speak to him to get the reward. That means you will have to take out the newly appeared group of Skiro'ken Assassins.

However, it is strongly urged that you go and clear the path and the temple before going near Keeper Kauniss. Unlike many of the other quests where you accompany characters to a destination, the Keeper will not wait for your group on his route. The Keeper only pauses to fight, and will only wait and let you lead him just outside the middle of the temple. Obviously his method of slithering regardless of any hostiles in his path will cause disaster at some point. If you clear the path and the temple before going near and escorting Keeper Kauniss to the temple, then the mission becomes much easier. You still will have to deal with the last group of Skiro'ken Assassins that appear.
