General Information

After completing Ban-Drir, you can receive this quest, but it will not appear under Adventures for this Location until you go on patrol with Memaro at the watchtower at least once.

Prerequisites

• Eavesdropping
• Unlocked Kyul-Thanor (see Lothren)
• The Missing Standing Stone Jewel
• Ban-Drir
• Go on patrol with Memaro's Scouts at least once

Walkthrough

The quest has many interconnecting sections, so the following tries to list each separate section in rough order instead of explicitly stating every possible branch:

• Stone Constructs
You fight the following if you help the militia:
• Stone Construct (9+ at MR 35-36 ^Approx, 45 SP)
• 2 Stone Constructs (9+ at MR 40-44 ^Variable, 60 SP)
You may try to bypass them if you choose to concentrate on Ironfist:
Attempt to move onto the bridge and attack Ironfist:
• 16 xp to Gating (1+) if used
• 0 xp to Illusion (1+) if used
• 16 xp to Thievery (1+) if used +8 (Moderately Difficult) Thievery Skill check
Attempt to destroy the section of the bridge that Ironfist is standing on:
• 16 xp to Destruction (30+) if used
Attempt to send the giant off the bridge:
• 16 xp to Elementalism (40+) if used
Or else fight them:
• 3 Stone Constructs (9+ at MR 44 ^Exact, 55 SP)
• Stone Boulder
• 16 xp to Telekinesis (30+)/Destruction (20+) if used
• 4 general xp for using Fortification (20+)
• Attempt to dive clear +0 (Standard) Agility Stat check
• Wounded Thanorian
• 16 xp to Restoration (30+) if used to heal him
(This option is only available if you choose to concentrate on Ironfist, then attempt to move onto the bridge, confront a group of 3 Stone Constructs, after whose defeat you'd opt to retreat to the foot of the bridge, then retreat once more, farther back, where you encounter a group of wounded militia, one of whom is in dire straits and in need of your restorative powers.)
• Ironfist
You may be forced to fight:
• Ironfist (9+ at MR 65-66 ^Approx, ~85 SP), Flees when his health is below 50%
But choosing to concentrate on Ironfist allows:
• 16 xp to Destruction (30+)/Elementalism (40+) if used to knock Ironfist off the bridge

Rewards

• 128 general xp for completion
• Up to 32 additional xp for various Powers usage (concentrate on Ironfist, attack the constructs or use Illusion, then retreat to the rear)
• No items. (Mostly, though if fought, one of the Stone Constructs occasionally drops one - weapon confirmed, armour maybe...)
