The Sentinel's Pawn (Alliance)

Description

We very nearly had this statue stolen from us by one of Bloodwatcher's Reliquary stooges. We managed to catch him in the act, and we've retrieved the statue, but it hasn't really paid off.

It appears to be a key of some sort, but I can't find the lock anywhere inside those ruins. You feel like giving it a try?

Basically, when you click on the first statue (A) it sends a beam out that connects to another statue (statue b). When you click on the next statue (b), if the beam doesn't redirect to another statue, click on it again. If it never clicks on another statue, that particular statue is invalid, so in that case you need to go back to statue A and find a new statue b. ( I believe that only statue A points to a wrong statue b.) Keep doing this (statue b to statue c, statue c to statue d, etc.) until you connect with the final statue to the left side of the room. Since there is no fighting here, I advise do a quick check on where the final statue is so as to know what you are doing.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Warden's PawnBadlands · Level 15-30

    Once those Reliquary honks got here, we panicked, and we all just started looting indiscriminately. A lot of bad archaeology happened that day. Luckily, Olga happened upon this small jade statue. We thought it to be a key of some sort, but can't figure out what it opens.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Warden's GameBadlands · Level 15-30

    You see the statue split into two, then four, then eight identical statues in a square formation. You hear a voice, not through your ears, but in the back of your mind: "A true warden does not face OUTWARD, searching for signs of danger.
