Dialogue
 * "I've been trying to tell your frieds here how to get to the Ascalon Settlement, but the rude woman keeps interrupting me. The Settlement is northwest of here.  You should be able to follow the signs and get there safely.  Perhaps you could lead your friends there, ? (sic.) I would take you myself, but there are rumors that the Shining Blade has been seen in the area. Will you lead your friends to the Ascalon Settlement?

Walkthrough
Note: For Damaris to give the quest to you, you first have to wait until she finishes her conversation with the heroes, which will take half a minute or so.

This is a fairly straightforward quest, designed to lead you up to the settlement where a couple of other quests kick off and a skill trainer reside. Note: the settlement isn't actually an outpost, so you will not be able to "save" yourself there. Head almost due north along the road, and follow the signposts. It is nearly impossible to miss.

It's very near the coast, looking at the map there's a large beach curving away from the sea directly North of Lion's Arch and it's a little to the left of that.

Tip: If you need help doing quests in this area, it may actually be a good idea to take on this quest (which will mean the four heroes of Ascalon will follow you) and then do other quests in North Kryta Province like the Orrian Excavation.

Note
Some players have had a problem finishing this quest. Captain Greywind appeared at the quest's end, but he didn't have the option to talk about the quest so players had to do the quest again. This occurs when one of the four heroes of Ascalon (Devona, Mhenlo, Aidan and Cynn) fails to reach Captain Greywind. This could mean one of them is stuck somewhere, or dead. Instead of a message informing you of this fact, Captain Greywind does not have a dialog option involving the quest at all, leading to confusion by some players.
