Gandalf Zu'l Zoran of SC reports finding a corpse at 1.5N , 88.0E on Aphus Lassel.

You search the corpse...
You examine the ramains closely, and find that this poor soul had nothing of value...
...except for a dirty scrap of paper.
You take the note and think to yourself, "What was he doing on the shore, this far north?"

You give Brighteyes, the Tailor Dirty scrap of paper.
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "Where did you find this?"
You point to the west, towards the place where you found the body.
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "Along the shore you say? Let me examine this note a little more closely."
Brighteyes studies the scrap of paper given to him.
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "You are lucky I have learned about their strange methods of communication, otherwise I don't think there'd be an Isparian alive who could translate this."
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "It seems this particular fellow was taken "below" and given...uh...great power."
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "And somehow it...ah...opened his mind -- see here, it is indicated with the symbol they use for light."
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "And here, the symbol for...fighting or war, I think. It is repeated over and over - I am not sure why."
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "I'm afraid I can't figure out much else -- however I am quite concerned with this "enlightened" sycophant. A revolution among the enslaved masses of these islands would be my dream come true!"
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "It would seem as though he was escaping from somewhere "below," on the large island to the west."
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "Possibly the Tusker Assault lair? I have heard that subterranean complex is teeming with the beasts and their thralls."

Lucifer's Hand of TD reports: "Just wanted to give ya some info on the new quest on Aphus Lassel. First you need to find a Sychophant corpse on the western part of Bobo's Island (Same island Kleeoh is on). Loot the corpse for a piece of paper, then take it to Brighteyes the Tailor in town. He will then instruct you to head to the Tusker Assault dungeon. Once in, you will encounter Deranged Psychophants, Obsidian Chitticks, Assault Guards, and Enraged Female and Male Tuskers. When you get to the end of the dungeon, you will find a new tusker called The Painbringer. Kill him then loot the Head off of the corpse. Take the head back to Brighteyes and he will give you the Staff of the Painbringer." Thanks also to Revenants Soul of LC!

Dungeon: Tusker Assault - 3.9S, 84.2E
Level: 85+

You give Brighteyes, the Tailor The Painbringer's Head.
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "The head of the Painbringer -- I have never heard of such a beast before!"
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "You say you found this vile creature within the Assault lair?"
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "I wonder...is it possible that blasted tusker king has His paw in this new evil? More powerful minions is not the kind of revolution I had in mind!"
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "Well it isn't much, but...here, take this --"
Brighteyes, the Tailor gives you Staff of the Painbringer.
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "'Tis a bit crude -- but what would you expect?"
Brighteyes leans towards you and whispers, "Dammit Gandalf Zu'l Zoran! I'm a tailor, not a weaponsmith!"
Brighteyes, the Tailor tells you, "This should show everyone who the real champion of Aphus Lassel is!"

Brighteyes, the Tailor says, "Ooo...ooo...eee...aaa...aaa."
Brighteyes l! ooks around nervously.
Brighteyes, the Tailor says, "I have to keep up appearances that I'm just like the other humans here or else they'll cage and collar me."

A report from Killz al-Evil of TD: "I discovered a new NPC named Jonas at the bottom of the dungeon (behind the alter in the final room is a false wall with an extremely long corridor). I gave him the keys found within the dungeon (worn, rusty keys I think they were called) and he rewarded me with 3million xp. I then proceeded to give him a SIK and he rewarded me with an Nanner Island Portal gem. He also gave other items like mastermage faran robes and nanners." (The portal gem drops you off at 1.3N, 88.2E, right by the dead sycophant guy you loot the note from to begin the painbringer quest.)

The Assault Guards drop a Rusted Brass Key which can be given to Jonas for 3 million xp!

Jonas tells you, "Can...you...help?"

You give Jonas Rusted Brass Key.
Jonas struggles with the lock intensely for a moment, then manages to release the mechanism. You wonder if he is more intelligent than he appears.
You've earned 3,000,000 experience.
Jonas tells you, "No chain! Jonas free!"
Jonas tells you, "You have shiny for Jonas?"

You give Jonas Sturdy Iron Key.
Jonas tells you, "A shiny! A shiny gift for Jonas!"
Jonas tells you, "Jonas have gift for you!"
Jonas gives you Nanner Island Portal Gem.
Jonas tells you, "Tusker friend...you!"

Hi Maggie,

Here's an update on the Staff of the Painbringer quest: I found the guy behind the secret wall and I gave him a bunch of SIKs. I got a wide variety of items back from him, including 3 uncarved sings, 5 nanners, 2 nanner island recall gems, 3 faran item master robes, 10 monty's high stakes tokens (gives you 10 at once), 3 pyreal peas, and about 50% of the time he gives you either 25k, 50k, or 100k XP. There's probably more items but I ran out of SIKs. Looks like we have a nice SIK dump in the game now!
