For anyone still working on this one for Know Your Role, here's what I just did:
- Pick up the quest.
- Head to the Deadtalker's Plateau, and kill away. Don't worry about taking damage at this point, and don't auto-loot the corpses.
- Find, but don't pick up the Ciphered Scroll.
- Abandon the quest, fly to Master Snowdrift at Shadow-Pan Garrison and pick the quest up again. Then fly back to the corpse with the Ciphered Scroll.
- Loot, turn in, get achievement credit.
I haven't seen this daily in AGES on my server, started to farm for the title a month ago after i got aware of it. Challenge mode wassn't as hard as expected, but now i'm stuck with RNG. Anyone has any ideas of an easier way or just any other way to get this daily done?

Description
We need to understand what went wrong with the Deadtalkers. For so many years, the Deadtalkers were simply responsible for maintaining the burial grounds and holding funerals for fallen warriors. From a recent raid, we've recovered a tablet from the grounds that is clearly written using a cipher, but it isn't one we've encountered before. If you can gather a ciphered scroll from one of the Deadtalkers, we can begin to put together the cypher and understand what's happened.
