Unfriendly Eyes in Ost Forod

General Quest

Robin tells you that, due to desperation, some of the residents of Ost Forod have taken to stealing relics and dealing with tomb-robbers. He wants you to bring these to the Rangers of Tinnudir.

STEPS:

1) Collect Chest of Relics. Avoid being seen by unfriendly men. Robin tells you: "You can find a chest full of stolen artifacts among the tents on the highest level of Ost Forod, north of here." He continues:

"Carry the chest to the Ranger Astiul in Tinnudir, to the southwest, and avoid the unfriendly men of Ost Forod!"

After the quest begins, take the stairs to the north, and then another set of stairs to the northwest. Once at the top of Ost Forod, take a left through a archway. Continue to the south, and you'll see the Chest of Relics near the edge (7.5s, 64.5w). After you double-click the chest to pick it up, you'll begin carrying it and your timer (which is quite long, very sufficient unless things go horribly wrong) will start.

I suggest going to the south edge of the building you're on, and jumping down. If you plan it well, you'll land on top of an awning and not get gimped out from a bad fall. From there, be wary of the unfriendly men (eyeball icons on your radar).

Many of them wander, so you can time your escape appropriately. Brasse and I ran from the awning to where Robin is, and then we took a right to get out of town. There was an unfriendly man near the main entrance, so we ran out through a gap in the wall on the right. After that, there were only aggro mobs to worry about on the journey back to Astiul. Good luck!

2) Talk to Astiul. He sends you back to give Robin his thanks. Select "Continue Quest" to go to the next step.

3) Talk to Robin Dunkley.

4) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, and you will now be able to take the next quest, Ran Afoul of the Bears.
