Request phrase: sign
Entry phrase: go
When you request the mission you will get a Wand of Metacrystalline Teleportation. If you lose it you can say 'sign' to Gweddon to get a replacement.
Gweddon wants you to investigate what the mephits are up to with the faithful of Brell. First up find Fiddy Stavepockets (marked 1) surrounded by autarchians minions and Norket the Disgruntled, kill them all. The minions seem to all be wizards and while they hit around 7k they spend a lot of time casting. Norket is an enchanter and hits up to 7500ish.
With the 10 minions and Norket dead, use the wand on Fiddy who then respawns near Gweddon. Gweddon then sends you to rescue Duerg Rockpiker (marked 2) who is trapped by some zealous lava golems. Head west to the next chamber and kill off the golems (and any mephits in the way). Golems hit around 7500. Once the path is clear click the wand on Duerg and he too will respawn next to Gweddon.
After another chat he asks you to rescue a 3rd adherent, Neerda Stoneguard (marked 3). To reach them invis up and move through the cliknar area and then south to the cliff. You'll need to kill all 6 executioners and Zwurek. The executioners hit up to 7500 while Zwurek hits nearly 8k and casts Zwurek's Sputum a small 6500 dd AE. Both executioners and Zwurek are rogues which can backstab for 20k+, be careful when pulling. When dead loot the ceremonial blades and use the wand on Neerda who joins Gweddon.
Go back to Gweddon, hail him, give him the looted blades, the wand, and then hail again. He'll hand you a warning to deliver to Tronten in Pellucid. Follow the dialog and he will port you to Pellucid to hand it in, then follow the dialog with Tronten to get ported to Gweddon (in static zone) to turn in the orb. Finally hail him to complete the mission.
