Dialogue
 * ''I cannot tell you how happy I am that the plague is under control, but it has come at a price...the Luxons are growing even more bellicose. It's high time we healed the living stone and rebuilt the cathedral, but their raids are keeping all of my usual forces occupied. You look like a fair hand in a fight. I need someone to protect the Stone Singers while they complete the ritual songs that will heal the cathedral stone. The Luxons are sure to make it difficult, so you must be wary. Help us complete the rebuilding process, and the gods will surely smile upon you. And it that's not enough compensation, House zu Heltzer will make it worth your while.

Followup

Walkthrough
First of all, you have to start at Altrumm Ruins, theres no downward exit from Arborstone. Second of all, the quest markers seem to be a bit buggy.

If you follow this map you should be able to do this properly. You can clear all enemies with no worry about failing the quest. Most likely 1 of the singers will die, but I havent discovered how to overcome this. You have to only protect 5 of the 8. The first group of luxon invaders invades at the west-most "hook" part of the red trail. (by the bridge). Then you kill them, and some get away and you have to track them down, so go across the large bridge, across the small bridge, through a wooden doorway and down a long ramp. At the bottom of the ramp is some water. Clear out the kirins, and dragon moss, and keep following the red map trail EAST(in the map i sidetracked slightly at the bottom of the ramp). You'll have to go up some sort of hill or you'll be led off track if you follow the water. You will find yourself at 3 stone singers in a group. Kill any luxons you see quickly, and the quest will end. Some luxons spawned AFTER the quest ended for me which is weird. I only had to kill like 1 group at the 3 stone singers part.

Edit this if anything is wrong, as I'm writing it a day after I did it, but I had to fail this quest like 25 times in a row before discovering the proper way, so I thought I owed it to post at least SOMETHING on guildwiki -Morimoto Harimsa 5/18/2006
