Eliot is hiding just south of the ruins. Three groups of 3 Rangers each are located to the east, centre, and west of the main ruins. Dialog shown is typical. Actual dialog will vary with the ebb and flow of battle. Defend the direction when it is announced. Entering the announced zone will trigger the wave and the Rangers enter combat mode. Take down the foes while keeping an eye at each Ranger's health and help if anybody needs. There are many waves but is not too hard. Soloing the waves had 3 elite mobs each.

Quest Text

'A simple quest to recover ancient Dúnedain relics from the hands of the grave-robbers who stole them has gone terribly awry. The thieves will not allow the Rangers and their allies to take their treasures from them so easily....' Background The Rangers have come to Rantost to cast out the tomb-robbers and reclaim the stolen relics. Objective 1 Speak to Eliot Bencroft Rangers must not be defeated (0/3) Rangers have taken up position at three camps on the island of Rantost. Defend the Rangers from attacks by tomb-robbers and their allies. Eliot Bencroft: 'I do not yet wish to reveal myself to the tomb-robbers as being the spy! Do not think less of me for remaining here, in hiding! You should hasten to help the Rangers around the island. I believe they have set up camps around the three sites at which you found the stockpiled relics. 'Once stockpile is right here, one is in the centre of the ruins, and one is on the west side of the ruins. The tomb-robbers will likely assault the Rangers at all three sites!' Defend Rangers at three locations Eliot Bencroft says, "I'll just hide here until you've defeated the robbers." Eliot Bencroft says, "You should help out the Rangers around the ruins here." Ranger Defender says, "We need defenders here!" The East Encampment is under assault! The Centre encampment is under assault! The West Encampment is under assault! Scouting Tomb-robber says, "Ah!" Cunning Tomb-robber says, "Argh!" Successful Tomb-robber says, "Fool deserved to die." Ranger Defender says, "Death claims another foe." Successful Tomb-robber says, "Ah!" Veteran Tomb-robber says, "I never liked him anyway." Veteran Tomb-robber says, "Argh!" Ranger Defender says, "Another foe has fallen." Ranger Defender says, "Strike home!" Ranger Defender says, "Lend your aid to my kinsmen at the centre of the encampment!" Ranger Defender says, "Fight, Rangers!" Ranger Defender says, "We fight for our heritage!" Ranger Defender says, "Foes!" Ranger Defender says, "We are attacked!" Elusive Tomb-robber says, "Idiot." Ranger Defender says, "Take that!" Elusive Tomb-robber says, "Curse you!" Ranger Defender says, "I have suffered several wounds." Elusive Tomb-robber says, "Argh!" Ranger Defender says, "Have we held the day here?" Ranger Defender says, "How do my people at the western encampment fare?" Ranger Defender says, "Our foes fall before us!" Ranger Defender says, "Have we held the day here?" The tomb-robbers have been defeated Talk to Eliot Bencroft on Rantost Eliot Bencroft: 'Are you ready to meet back up at our camp? Speak to me when you are prepared to leave.'
