Unraveling the Mystery

You've already completed href="http://vanguard.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=826">the
first three quests inside Gulgrethor
Fortress. Your findings revealed that Deathlord Vilonis is somehow
animating the dead to fight in the Gulgrethor army. The next two quests
help get to the bottom of how Vilonis is working his magic and are the
last two "easy" quests before you start taking on some big challenges.
These quests are still appropriate for level 16.

Knowledge from the Grave asks you to commune with one of the Fragmented
Souls freed from the Cursed Soul shards you brought Agent Nuraga last
time. Got My Eye on Something requires you to collect the eye from a
Coil Reaper.

My Eye on Something

Agent Naraga wants you to find out exactly what happened to the souls
trapped int he forces commanded by Vilonis. She has pieced together the
6 Cursed Soul shards you brought her for the Remnants of the Soulless
quest. She orders you to href="http://vanguard.tentonhammer.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album74&id=PlacingShard&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php">place
the shard on a nearby shrine and speak to the href="http://vanguard.tentonhammer.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album74&id=FragmentedSoul&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php">Fragmented
Soul trapped within to get some answers. The Fragmented
Soul's text
appears in two columns below:

Essentially, Vilonis is preventing souls form passing to the next
plane, denying and angering Ghalnn while building his army. He had
hoped to lure in the army of Clan Martok to imprison their souls and
supply him with the strength of force needed for an expedition to
Thestra to find the legendary axe, Harvester. href="http://vanguard.tentonhammer.com/modules.php?set_albumName=album74&id=NuragaComplete&op=modload&name=Gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php">Nuraga
says the information you have gathered for her will help her
form
the next plan (and your next quest from her).



Meanwhile, Agent Zyrax explains that giant caldera on
which the
fortress is built serves as a kind of storage for the souls Vilonis
uses (so that explains the giant pit!). The souls are tended by the
Coil Seekers, level 16-18 3dot mobs that are little more than eyeballs
with bat wings. If you bring Zyrax an eye from one of the Coil Seekers,
he believes he can use it as a means of scrying into the plans Vilonis
makes.

The Mob and Item

The map below shows the general layout of
where you are going:

You're starting from the platform with the quest NPCs. Head right and
take the slope down toward the fortress walls. You'll encounter Shinak
death agents, Gulgrethor warriors and healers, and Torgazu Berserkers
on the way down. Enter through the door in the wall, and clear the room
of the several mobs, including a Raised Okami.The mobs you face will be
level 16-18
3dots, except for the Torgazu, which will be level 18 4dots. If you
recall from href="http://vanguard.tentonhammer.com/index.php?module=ContentExpress&func=display&ceid=823">the
overview, the Torgazu knock you to the right two paces,
so try to fight them with your right side against a wall. They can also
stun, as do the Gulgrethor melee and Shinak Agents. The Shinak can put
you in a serious stun lock if you let them get behind you. Of course,
Augurs are healers, so kill them first in an encounter with multiple
mobs. Then target the Shinak and Torgazu.



Turn left as soon as possible and kill some more orcs and goblins.
Watch out for a Torgazu Berserker roamer who might be coming from the
path behind you to the right (the way you went for the first 3 quests).
Turn the corner to the right and clear any mobs in your path. You
should now be able to crawl across the rubble and pull Coil Seekers.
They don't really do anything special. They may cast a spell or two,
but they die with minimal effort. Loot an eye and return to Agent Zryax.
