Prodigal Human Investigation

 * This event opened the portal to the Aerbax's Prodigal Human quest and was aimed at players level 150 and above.
 * 1) During this event, Tailen the Tracker was a dev controlled NPC, who led the server on a quest beginning at Rithwic in Martine's Retreat and ending in Stonehold outside the new Hidden Laboratory dungeon.
 * 2) Aerbax altered spawns would appear along the way. Outside the laboratory dungeon was a chest filled with tokens.
 * 3) The token could be given to Ryukai Hiro in Candeth Keep for a title and some xp (roughly 20% of your level).

The Town Criers announce, "Tairlen the Tracker has arrived in the town of Rithwic. To those adventurers of utmost skill, Tairlen the Tracker asks for your assistance in a matter of import to all Isparians! Queen Elysa herself has sent Tairlen to find the hidden Portal to a lab where Aerbax is believed to be creating a "Prodigal Isparian" in order to subjugate the peoples of Dereth!"

Tailen the Tracker says, "Greetings Everyone! Thank you for answering the call for aid!"

Tailen the Tracker says, "Queen Elysa has sent me to investigate suspicious activities, and we suspect attacks may occur."

Tailen the Tracker says, "To all here; the Queen has sent me to investigate the possible creation of a Prodigal Isparian."

Tailen the Tracker says, "If this acts like the other prodigal children it could be... very bad for us."

Tailen the Tracker says, "I have both the means to find this Portal, as well as a device that should remove any wards hiding the portal from us, but I need all of your help to find it."

Tailen the Tracker says, "We expect that Aerbax will send creatures under his control to stop me. We also expect that he knows about my gift for finding things that are magically hidden, so I will be considered a threat to his plans."

Tailen the Tracker says, "This is where you all come in! I need you to keep me alive while I track down this lab!"

Tailen the Tracker says, "We'll be starting our investigation in Martine's Retreat. In many ways, he was Aerbax's first "Prodigal Isparian", and I'm hoping to pick up the trail there. For all those who are coming, let's go!"

''The group moved out to the retreat. After everyone was there we gathered in the throne room.''

The Throne Room inside Martine's Retreat

Tailen the Tracker says, "Be wary..."

Monsters spawn. Monsters killed.

Tailen the Tracker says, "Well done"

Tailen the Tracker says, "Hmmm. There are magical eminations near here"

Monsters spawn. Monsters killed.

Tailen the Tracker says, "Someone is sending foes against us to foil our attempts."

Tailen the Tracker says, "Our attempts to track this prodigal Isparian"

Tailen the Tracker says, "Ahh, I sense something..."

Tailen the Tracker looks around the room slowly, eyes seemingly out of focus.

Tailen the Tracker says, "Yes, there are signs here. Aerbax has been here lately.  I can feel the fluxuations of great magic here."

Tailen the Tracker focuses on something for a moment, and then smiles.

Tailen the Tracker says, "Got it! I've found the trail!  Give me a moment while I summon a portal near to where we must go continue this pursuit."

Tailen the Tracker says, "Once the Portal is summoned, get through as quickly as you can! Summoned Gateways don't last forever.  I'll go last, to make sure everyone makes it through."

Portal summoned to Stonehold.

Players enter the portal leading to Stonehold

Following the trail in Stonehold

Tailen the Tracker says, "Hmmm. There is definitely remnants of the magical trail here..."

Tailen the Tracker says, "Ambush!"

Monsters spawn. Monsters killed.

Tailen the Tracker says, "Well done"

Tailen the Tracker says, "Hmmm. I am not sure where the trail will lead yet. Let us continue"

Tailen the Tracker says, "Something magical touched this location"

Monsters spawn. Monsters killed.

Tailen the Tracker says, "Well done"

Tailen the Tracker says, "Hmmm"

Tailen the Tracker says, "The trail is definitely leading us west"

Tailen the Tracker says, "I sense more magical emanation. Be wary"

Monsters spawn. Monsters killed.

Tailen the Tracker says, "From here I can get a better view of the land..."

Monsters spawn. Monsters killed.

Tailen the Tracker says, "You have done an excellent job dispatched these forces."

Tailen the Tracker says, "Hmmm"

Monsters spawn. Monsters killed.

Tailen the Tracker says, "We are close"

Tailen the Tracker says, "We are a bit too far north. Further on we will descend this ridge"

Tailen the Tracker says, "There are strong magical emanations from this location. I will attempt to break the veil hiding this place."

Tailen the Tracker says, "Protect me while I dispel the magical protections!"

Tailen the Tracker looks unfocused again, looking slowly about.

Tailen the Tracker says, "I think this is the place. At the very least, the Trail fades into a larger magical emination here, and doesn't leave the area."

Tailen the Tracker says, "It may take me a few minutes to pin down the place to use this device thew Arcanum gave me, so keep me alive! We're close now, and it'd be a bad time to fail!"

Tailen the Tracker says, "How are we holding up?"

Tailen the Tracker says, "Are casualties heavy?"

Tailen the Tracker says, "I believe if we can defeat this next wave we will succeed."

Tailen the Tracker says, "I have been well healed"

Monsters spawn. Monsters killed.

Tailen the Tracker says, "Well done!"

Tailen the Tracker says, "A Ha!"

Tailen the Tracker says, "This is what I needed! The Portal is warded from sight, but it's right here."

Tailen the Tracker says, "Thank you, everyone. Without you all, I doubt I would've survived to find this place."

Tailen the Tracker says, "Here, this chest is full of tokens I had made, so my colleague, Ryukai Hiro, would be able to identify and reward those who aided me."

Tailen the Tracker places a chest upon the ground.

Tailen the Tracker says, "Everybody take a token, with my thanks. You'll find Ryukai Hiro in Candeth Keep.  Bring him the token, and he'll reward you for it."

''A chest appeared on the ground. When used it gave you a token.'' You take a token from the chest. Chest of Tokens gives you Tracker Guardian Token. You consider taking another token, but decide that you've already taken one in the last hour, and should not take another so soon.

Reward from Ryukai Hiro of Candeth Keep You give Ryukai Hiro Tracker Guardian Token. Ryukai Hiro tells you, "Ahh, one of Tailra's tokens. You must be one of the ones who aided her in her mission.  You should be honored for your service to the peoples of Dereth." Ryukai Hiro grants to you the title, "Tracker Guardian", for what you have done to aid in the protection of Tailra the Tracker. You've earned 169,203,151 experience.
