The Will of Kyrtoxxulous

=====================================

Take the dagger over the fireplace inside the East Freeport inn ( -238, -56, -4 )  and then examine it (in your inventory).

    * Go to the Coldwind Shores Cemetery in western Thundering Steppes and find Shortshank's grave ( 1362, -1, -70 ) .

    * Read the confession found at the grave. 


2. "I should look into what exactly happened at Everling Village. Perhaps I could find more by visiting Lord Everling's former home."

    * Locate the Journal of Samantha Rageshree in the library of Nektropos Castle ( -19, 14, 52 ) , it appears as a glowing book on the center shelves.

    * Speak with Abelard Raleigh inside the Lion's Mane Inn and Tavern within South Qeynos ( 516, -9, 132 ) . He will refuse to give up the tome and attack as a level 80^, teach him a lesson and take it from him.

    * Inspect the grave of Yasinia Simond in Nektulos Forest behind Nektropos Castle ( -1627, 117, -1852 ) .

    * Defeat the guardian apparition that attacks you (level 81^), then loot and read the journal entry that is found in the chest it leaves behind.

    * Speak with Tahd Feek at Stealth and Skullduggery inside Teren's Grasp within Kylong Plains ( 1734, 487, -1042 ) .

    * Some people have reported not being able to get him to respond. Possibly need enough faction with Residents of Teren's Grasp. 


7. "Tahd Feek has given me an extensive list of items I will need so that he can create the poison known as Siv'ajauhar's Kiss."
    * Collect 80 skorpikis venom sacks (Durus decapitators, Durus scar guardians, etc).

    * Collect 6 Mantrap roots (needs to be harvested from roots or shrubs).

    * Head back to Yasmina Simond's grave behind Nektropos Castle in Nektulos Forest ( -1627, 117, -1852 ) .

    * Examine the gravestone, look closer, and pour the bottle down the cylinder hole. 


10. "I opened a secret compartment revealing a second journal entry and a strange idol. I should try to find out more about Kyrtoxxulous and this idol. Perhaps I could find a book on this matter."

    * Locate the makeshift shrine a little west of where you land in the water, and click the pole ( -1687, -401, 1103 ) . 


12. "I need to follow the footsteps and find who created the shrine."

    * Head to Kunzar Jungle and locate a pox-ridden reet slave in the trakaraptor valley north of Outer Sebilis, ( -634, -68, 483 ) 

    * Make sure you are able to speak and understand the Froak language (starts with A Mysterious Green Tome).

    * Hail the frog and listen to his story.

Reward: Death's Grip (Fabled)


=====================================

Kyrtoxxulous' Challenge

2. To unlock the full potential of Death's Grip I will need to find the meaning of:

          o The Leviathan in Chamber of Destiny 

     * "Mayong Alga Dyed Nil! -- ???

          o Tairiza the Widow Mistress in Tomb of Thuuga
