Restoring Mark V (Part 1) Quest

The quest involves locating an anchor and a crystal shaft that Angharad, The Hediad offhandedly claim are missing and stolen years ago. He never actually hires you to find these, but then again, this isn't a regular quest where you can easily influence the spawning of tickets.

• Where are these items? Apparently they were highly praised and stolen by the powerful barbarians, the Mawrs, that reside high in the mountains and are not really accessible.
• To get them to descend, you do not have to do anything at all. They decide to come down and swarm the Pass every once in a while. When this happens a lot of horns blow and it's rather hard to miss. Just mind your own business and hopefully it will happen.
• A gazillion of ultra-rabid gnome berserkers led by the two powerful mawrs will swarm entire area. The fact they are gnomes is heavily outweighed by the fact they are lvl 85+ with bosses in the 100+ range, capable of toss-bashing you for the entire duration of your (very short) combat, before shooting you with guns through full ac, spells and racial armor-ancient for **DISMEM every single round.
• As it happens, you can probably try (and die) outmaneuvering them, and if by some blind luck you manage to kill the mawrs, return the missing items to the Hediad.
• You will receive a choice - chained or double weapon?

Chained weapon is Serpent's Tongue and double is the Lightning Strike. If you are taking this on a warrior or a bodyguard, remember that the skill Double Parry requires a double weapon, but the chain grants Disarm bonuses, while both benefit from Double Hit. Choice should reflect your play-style. For non-warlike classes any of these will do.

You can now continue with the optional Restoring Mark V (Part 2) Quest.
