Sergeant Akkator has been assigned to the last Outpost before the Eastern Deadlands, not to stop the Undead, but to provide an early warning in case of invasion. His command is woefully undermanned and he could use all the assistance he can get from the Gifted.

Quest text

Akkator tells you, Report! What do you mean you don't have a report? Wait, you aren't one of my soldiers. You are one of the Gifted! Well, well, Niatha's Fortune shines on me this day. <player>, would you have time to assist the Imperial Army in a time of dire need?

You have received 1 Akkator's Scout Map of the Region.

Akkator tells you, A patriot! Excellent, we could use more of you these days. Pardon my excitement, you surely want to get to business. You see, <player>, this outpost was established not as a defense against the undead to the east. No! It was established as an early warning post. We would be nothing more than a bump if the hordes began to invade once more.

Akkator tells you, Nevertheless, it is my duty to maintain this outpost and report on the movements of what lies to the east. *he gestures vaguely in an easterly direction* What you see about you is undermanned even for an outpost with a purpose such as this one. Budget cuts! The bane of every army! That is why I need you, <player>, to do some scouting for me. Would you do this?

Akkator tells you, Excellent! I knew one of the Gifted would not let me down. This will be relatively easy, <player>. Simply scout around the camp, I provided you with four points on this map here to look for. If you encounter resistance, dispatch them quickly before they report your position back to their masters. Go quickly and Niatha's Favor be with you.

You scout around the rock, but find nothing. All clear so far. Time to search the next mark on the map..

There are quite a few Grave Araneae in the area, but they do not appear to be a threat to the outpost. Something in the region, though, is causing the blight to bleed out of the Deadlands itself and into the area surrounding it. You should report this, as it is a cause for concern..

As you come close to the gate, the ghost of a slain adventurer calls out: "You there! Yes, you, come closer.".

---

Spirit tells you, Gifted, I saw a party of skeleton scouts go southwest towards the plateau above the Outpost.

There is a spy camp up here, with a full view of the outpost. You should kill some om before they can report back..

You should go back and tell Sergeant Akkator about the spies above the Outpost..

Akkator tells you, Report! Yes... Yes... Is that so? The undead are massing on top of the cliff here? Even after dispatching a score of them I fear it will not be enough! Let me consider our next move, <player>. Thank you for your service to the Imperial Army. *he salutes you*

Steps

• Talk to Sergeant Akkator
• Examining your map you see that the first point is just to the north of the outpost just past the ore refinery. It is marked as a large rock spire. That looks like as good a place as any to start.

• From here you need to head north and a bit east to scout the second location. It is actually marked on your map with a spider symbol, so you should use caution as you approach the area. You can see the spider's webs in the distance if you look closely.

• The next point on the map is down the road to the east of the outpost, back to the south and east of where you are now. The marker on the map indicates that you're to scout the very gates of the Deadlands themselves. This is where your adventurous nature will have to take over and you'll earn some bravery points for venturing this close to the Deadlands.

• Talk to the Spirit of Slain Adventurer
• The last point marked on your map is rather vague. It just is marked with a question mark on the map. You can tell that you should move west back toward the Outpost, and scout along the ridge that overlooks the Outpost itself, but there's nothing specific to be looking for
