Wait, wait... so all those pages, those scales, the phinny backbone, and setting up those Trak raids saves me from camping 3 giants in WL?
More than that at least, I killed the three giants heralds "a giant herald" handed in the heads, was asked to find out about a messenger. I killed "a giant messenger" before I even found the heralds and looted a note. So I handed it to him, now I have to find where the messenger was coming from. For what its worth the messenger and heralds were all in wakening lands all blue cons @ 66 and didn't summon. Easy chant kite on them all.
EDIT: Logs from the above for those without the epic
[Thu Sep 16 12:09:31 2004] Lantaric`Dar peers at the three heads for a moment. You might almost say he looks surprised. `You have done well Wood Elf. You have gained a portion of my trust today. I hope you continue to impress me.
[Thu Sep 16 12:09:31 2004] Lantaric`Dar raises his claw to your forehead. The sweat dripping into your eyes does not blur your vision enough to sedate the terror of having a dragon claw mere inches from your face. Lantaric`Dar makes a series of quick, precise motions and then lowers his claw. You feel a mystical energy shiver over your body. `You have been blessed with my mark. If you [continue to aid] me I may see fit to further increase its power.
[Thu Sep 16 12:09:50 2004] You say, 'I wish to continue to aid'
[Thu Sep 16 12:09:51 2004] Lantaric`Dar says 'Excellent Wood Elf. I have a matter that I believe you would be suited for. The children of Zek have been strangely silent over the last few days. While your attacks on the couriers certainly slowed them down, I suspect there is something else going on. If you can uncover what they're up to, I will be most pleased. The area around Kael Drakkel is most likely to yield information.'
[Thu Sep 16 12:10:26 2004] You are too far away from Lantaric`Dar to trade.
[Thu Sep 16 12:10:30 2004] Lantaric`Dar studies the orders for a few moments. `Well done Wood Elf. This explains much of the giants' movements of late. This list shows orders for creating equipment for creatures closer to your stature then a giant. The Kromzek must be recruiting more mercenaries. Find the troop this order was meant to supply Atchi. There must be a reason for Tormax's new interest in mortal conscripts.
