Walk Through
- Speak to Roderick in Mite Maze, where Harlune the Misanthrope used to be (take the first right at Alfrega, the room with the apple tree). He will give you the Diplomatic Message from Harlune (speak twice if you get A Crabbed Note at first).
- Recall to Bur and then the Southern Catacombs. Use the "Rock" dungeon. The statue Roderick mentions is in the fourth room from the south in the east hallway. The statue will teleport you into the Falatacot Visitor's Alcove.
- In the first dungeon, head right at the T-junction. Use the second door you come across and follow through. Do NOT jump into any pits, you will not be able to get out. You go down once, then up twice. The second door going up, stop and clear the spawn if you can.
- Eventually reach a big, empty room. There is a floor lever just inside the room. Use this plate to spawn the statue and about 10 guards. After a few minutes you will receive a message that the statue's eyes have lit up and you can now use the statue to portal onto the next dungeon. You MUST hit that level to spawn the statue. Depending on where the guards spawn, you may be able to close the door and wait outside for the statue to charge up. If not, you can run around inside the room for a few minutes, dodging spells, until it is good.
- In the next dungeon go right and down at the junction and follow it through to the end. When you reach a door, behind that is the empty room and the statue. As you go in seven Blood Priestesses and an Elite Zharalim Agent will spawn -- retreat into the hallway and close the door until the statue charges, or run around the room dodging them.
- NOTE: The far wall behind the statues can be used to be avoided by the casters, and eventually even the melee types will get tired of you. If you die, you can run back quickly, and both statues might still be up.
- NOTE: You must have the Diplomatic Message on you to use the statues.
- Note: It is not necessary to use the corpse of the Elite Zharalim Agent (a yellow dot, NPC corpse) to use the statue.
- Get to the end of the last dungeon and talk to the Falatacot Herald. He will take your Note...IMMEDIATELY run up and around the platform behind him! Several very tough monsters* will spawn. Tip: If you are an archer or mage, perch from the platform above the mob. Be careful the Laisu Sclavus casts Poison Health (20% lower health for 5 minutes) and there is no shortcut back.
- Your job is to kill the Blood Priestesses. One of them holds the Trinket you need to give to Roderick. The Blood Priestesses are IMPERIL VULNERABLE to COLD. If you can Imperil them, they go down to cold weapons incredibly fast. If you are a mage, Yield them (Magic def is over 500), and do the normal fire undead slayer beat down.
- If soloing: talk to the Herald and quickly jump up to the platform and wait, after a period of time the spawned creatures will ignore you allowing you to vuln and pull the Priestesses over one by one.
- If running multiple characters: Only 1 character in 3 needs to give the message. Pick the one with Lockpick, so he can easily get his next time. Note that if you talk to Roderick before giving him the trinket, he will replace your message, even if you gave it already (he's assuming you died).
- One of the Blood Priestesses will drop three Falatacot Blood Prophetess Trinkets that you must return to Roderick for XP and the title "Expendable". (If your fellowship is more than 3, the Herald respawns very quickly).
- Recall Last Portal. If you went to Bur right from Roderick, this brings you back to the Mite Maze. Head back up to Roderick for your reward.
- If you speak to the NPC a 2nd time, he will give you a ride to Teth ;)
* Giving the note to the herald spawns a Thralled Guruk Reaper, Ancient Counselor, Falatacot Consort, Tortured Spirit, Infused Blood Golem, Laisu Sclavus and two Falatacot Blood Prophetesses.

Lore & Dialog
Town Crier tells you, "Rumor has it that Harlune has picked up and left the Mite Maze, though he still maintains a residence there. It might be worth finding out what's going on down there."
Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that Roderick, the bodyguard in the Mite Maze who's watching over Harlune's business, has some shady ties..."
Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, I really admire that Harlune fellow. I mean, he taught Celcynd everything he knows, right? And Celcynd spends all of his time in a bar drinking! Clearly, Harlune is wise."
Roderick tells you, "Hmm...Ya think ya might be interested in doin' a favor for Harlune? Ya look tough enough to survive what he has in mind."
Roderick gives you Diplomatic Message from Harlune.
Roderick tells you, "The Falatacot Matriarchs sent him a message, ya see, askin' if he'd like to ally. Well, of course he don't - the Falatacot can't be trusted one bit. So he wants to send a message back...but ya know how Harlune can be."
Roderick tells you, "Anyways, he asked me to find some volunteers to deliver the mission. He didn't tell me to mention it, but I'll be nice and mention it anyways - the Falatacot ain't gonna be happy when they read the message."
Roderick tells you, "Here, take this and bring it to Bur. One of the statues up there should lead to a new place where ya can go and deliver the message, and then ya better be ready for a fight. If ya win, bring something back to prove to me that ya won."
Roderick tells you, "Ya have the note - what are ya doin' here still? Go to Bur and find the way to deliver that note. Ya need to use a new statue to get in - it's in a place that us Isparians ain't never been to before now. Don't forget to bring back proof ya won."
This is the statue that Roderick told you about. You activate it and are teleported away to the Falatacot Visitor's Alcove.
The state [sic] looks as if it has been tampered with...its eyes are dull.
The statue's eyes light up suddenly - it can be used again, you would surmise.
The statue whispers in your head, "You bear a message for the matriarchs. You may pass."

The Falatacot Herald reads the message from Harlune. At first, his aged face is impassive, but as he continues reading a visage of sheer fury appears.
Falatacot Herald says, "You would dare mock our offer so?! You would dare present me with such insults?! Do you see that corpse in the corner? That is from the last messenger we had to deal with, dispatched from that Dericost worm Rytheran!"
Falatacot Hearlad says, "It is fortunate for you the Matriarchs themselves are indisposed - your deaths shall be quick, instead! Come, servants of the Blood, destroy these interlopers and drain their blood for out ends!"
Falatacot Blood Prophetess says, "You would dare such insolence? Fear our wrath!"
Falatacot Herald tells you, "Why do you bother me, human? If you have nothing for me, leave!"
Roderick tells you, "Ya lost the note? I got extra copies, but be careful with the thing! Bring me back proof ya won, when they attack."
Roderick gives you Diplomatic Message from Harlune.
Roderick tells you, "Ya have the note -- what are ya doin' here still? Go to Bur and find the way to deliver that note. Ya need to use a new statue to get in - it's in a place that us Isparians ain't never been to before now. Don't forget to bring back proof ya won."
