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."

Walkthrough
Follow the quest markers to the stone singers then protect them.

''Note: This quest currently has a bug whereby when you get to a few markers (about three of them) you will find no one. Still, if you approach the marker, the quest will update and send you to the next point. So, do not worry about where the stone singer went, just update the quest and move on.''

When you get to the markers that do have stone singers, as soon as you come close, the stone singer will plead for his/her life and a few/several groups of Luxons will spawn nearby and rush towards the spot.

If there is only one stone singer, then make sure your party surround him/her. The Luxons will stop to engage the soft targets and will not get to the stone singer. If you have a ritualist in your party, have them set up spirits on the perimeter as that will preoccupy the Luxon attackers.

The one problematic situation is the group of three singers (point 5 above). Because the three are spread out it's hard to cover them from all angles, especially with henchmen (henchmen healers do not heal the stone singers). In this case, remember that you can lose 3 singers and still finish the quest. If it's hard to cover all three, then just camp around one.

''Tip: If you will be following the path put forth by the quest markers, it is best that you not have the quest Wardens On the March active in your Quest Log. Getting to the last marker will require you to go through the lumped up groups of Wardens from that quest who will be waiting on the stairs between points 1 and 2 above.''
