Tome-ward Bound

Speak with Kalecgos to open the portal, then use what he summons to take out the Brackenhide Putrifiers and then destroy the Twisted Ancient.

• Speak to Kalecgos
• Tome of Spellflinging ridden
• Brackenhide Putrifier (3)
• Twisted Ancient slain

We must stop that tree! With these ley crystals, I can finally help.

Speak with me when you are ready. I'll open a portal into the Azure Archives and try to bring out something useful.

Stand back, it may be rather unstable.

You will also receive:

• 9,800 XP
• +200 reputation with Iskaara Tuskarr

This should be interesting!

You did well, hero, thank you.

That tree was probably not their only pool of decay, but it was the riskiest one for the tuskarr and this ley line. With it gone, this area may be able to recover. It will take time, but it will heal.

I'm glad we were able to give the spirits of those tuskarr some peace.

Speak with Kalecgos again:

• Pardon me if I'm a little distracted. Have you ever tried to maintain so many mirror images at such distance?

• What a headache.

The Tome of Spellflinging pops out of the portal. Hop on:

• The book travels on its own a bit to the southeast, obliterating a few wayward gnolls.

Once Kalecgos gains control of the tome, so does the player, who has access to the following abilities:

Charge forward, obliterating gnolls by simply running over them normally, charging them (which transforms some of them into Polymorphed Sheep), or using the area of effect. Don't try to just run over the shaman, though:

Once the third shaman dies:

The book provides a new ability:
