Quest Log

 *  [Difficulty: Master] The Jade Brotherhood purchased the P.O.X. golem to use as a weapon in their war against the Am Fah. However, P.O.X.'s original programming could activate at any time, causing it to complete its ultimate objective: assassinate Emperor Kisu. According to Zinn, the accidental creator of this killer golem, the P.O.X. model has built-in boosters allowing him to reach the Imperial Sanctum in a matter of seconds! You must deactivate the golem before that program kicks in. Seek out a guardsmen in the Marketplace for help finding the Jade Brotherhood compound.

Acceptance Dialogue
Guardsman Makuruyo: Blessing of the emperor upon you, friend.


 * Accept: The Jade Brotherhood is up to something!
 * Reject: Thanks for the chat, but I have to run.

Guardsman Makuruyo: ''When is the Jade Brotherhood not up to something? Their war with the Am Fah has spilled onto every street corner lately. I spend more time cleaning up the bloody remains of their battles than anyone else. What sort of trouble are they up to now?''


 * Accept: They have a weapon. I need to infiltrate their ranks and disarm it.
 * Reject: Thanks for the chat, but I have to run.

Guardsman Makuruyo: ''We have heard rumors of some sort of weapon purchased from an outside source. Our own spies use spare Jade Brotherhood clothes collected from the corpses after their battles to get on the inside.''


 * Accept: Can we use some Jade Brotherhood outfits to sneak into their headquarters?
 * Reject: Thanks for the chat, but I have to run.

Guardsman Makuruyo: ''We certainly have enough outfits to spare. We mop up corpses from their battles every day. Must keep the streets clean, you know. Take as many as you need... anything to help disrupt this rampant gang activity. Be careful, though. Wajjun Bazaar is a war zone! While you wear those outfits, the Am Fah will attack you on sight. Good luck. You are awfully brave to walk into the middle of that mess.''


 * Accept: I'm ready to infiltrate the Jade Brotherhood.
 * Reject: Thanks for the chat, but I have to run.

Intermediate Dialogue
Jade Brotherhood Knight: ''Reinforcements! Thank goodness. Find an Am Fah skull and crack it!''

Am Fah Necromancer: ''the only broken skulls around here will be yours! ATTACK!''

Jade Brotherhood Knight: More Am Fah sewer rats coming from the west!

Jade Brotherhood Mesmer: ''Defend the headquarters! Am Fah are everywhere!''

Jade Brotherhood Ritualist: ''Non-humans in the Brotherhood? We take anyone in these days, it seems.''

Jade Brotherhood Knight: ''M'Lord, the Am Fah have swarmed the headquarters. They surround us!''

Jade Brotherhood Lord: ''I had hoped to save our new weapon for our ultimate attack on the Am Fah headquarters. Clearly we cannot wait.''

Activate the golem.

P.O.X.: *ALL SYS-TEMS NOR-MAL, P.O.X. AC-TIVE*

Jade Brotherhood Lord: ''P.O.X., destroy the Am Fah! Protect our headquarters!''

P.O.X.: *IN-VA-LID DIR-ECT-IVE, COM-MAND FAIL-ED*

Jade Brotherhood Knight: ''The golem has gone haywire. Run for it!''

''Am Fah spies come to destroy our golem... Get them!''

Reward Dialogue

 * P.O.X. appears fully deactivated. You reach out and open up his control panel. Inside lies the golem's power crystal. It emits a strange buzzing sound and vibrates erratically, almost as if something is trying to escape. This is the object Zinn requires. You only need to reach out and take it.

Walkthrough
P.O.X.'s mini-mission is accessed through The Marketplace. Speak to Guardsman Makuruyo to enter a special instance of Wajjun Bazaar. The player will be disguised as members of the Jade Brotherhood, and will face off against the Am Fah. Various Jade Brotherhood member will help you along the way, making for fairly easy fights. After reaching the far side of the streets and fighting through several waves of Am Fah (with increasing difficulty), the player will find P.O.X., who is initially friendly.

Two Jade Brotherhood members will talk a while before activating P.O.X. P.O.X. will turn on his "owners" and become hostile to the party. Once the player begins to attack the GOLEM, the Jade Brotherhood will become hostile, believing the party to be Am Fah spies. P.O.X. mostly uses potent melee attacks, but his deadliest attack is Reactor Blast which causes burning and high damage to all foes in the area of effect. This spell casts slowly, but is interrupt-resistant. Parties are advised to bring several interrupt skills. If no interrupt skills are handy, then just back off away from P.O.X. until the skill is done, and no one will take damage.

Have one of your monks bring a hex removal skill because of P.O.X.'s skill Target Acquisition, when it ends it will cause a condition stack on that player, unless it is removed. This can be troublesome since the bottom condition is dazed for spell casting players. But removing the hex before it ends, will nullify the effects.
