Centurion {@LinkCreature:203#1007} sent you? Good.<BR><BR>One of our scouts, {@LinkCreature:203#1033}, is in place outside the bastion. He'll point out the entrance. Once you're inside, find {@LinkCreature:487#1111}.<BR><BR>Let's take the fight to the Scions! Hold it right there!<NEXTPAGEBUTTON>"I'm on your side."</NEXTPAGEBUTTON> Sorry, <PCCLASS:lcase>. I'm in a lot of pain, but my eyes are still sharp.<BR><BR>The entrance is over to the right from here. Take the path on my left to the cave entrance.
