This is the updated quest for cataclysm. Instead of stitches attacking the town head on and allowing anyone to kill him, and without risk of him killing npc's, (s)he now simply spawns outside a phased version of the town hall in with the nightwatch attacking him. It is important to note that there is NO rush in fighting him, he will neither take damage or deal damage from and to the nightwatch npcs. This also means that he can't be "taken care of" by the npc's either :)

Abercrombie is also sitting on his shoulder in his full necromantic attire!

Description

You're not the first fool to be manipulated by Abercrombie! That doddering old man is known as The Embalmer to us. He's a vile necromancer and a blight upon this town. And now, sewn together and given life by the very materials you brought him, his horrible creation approaches! That hideous creature will be upon us in mere moments! If you have any heart, {name}, you'll help the Night Watch drive off the abomination and save our town!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Note to the MayorDuskwood · Level 10-30

    Take this note to Ello Ebonlocke, the Mayor of Darkshire. He and I are old friends...and when he reads it and discovers what you did for me...I'm sure he'll be just as happy as I am! Hahahaha!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Legend of StalvanDuskwood · Level 10-30

    I'm here because I received a letter from my brother Stalvan, who I haven't seen in years. On arriving here, I was told he was dead... The entire town refuses to offer any further explanation. Any mention of his name is met with terror and suspicion. As if I didn't have enough of that myself!
