"I have all of the blood runes.""I must find all five blood runes. According to Sharhan I will find them on the Thexians located to the far east, past both rivers. He says the camp is directly north of the East Bear Cave.""It turns out that I was right about having to use force. The Thexian mage, Kixizor Z'Nast, wasn't very friendly. He attacked me, but fortunately I was able to retrieve a note from his dead body. Apparently, all I have to do is place the blood runes in each of the notched slots of an obelisk shaped monument and a portal pulls you directly to the lair.""I am not sure how the Thexians are using these runes to get to the lair. I did notice a dark elf roaming around the main camp of Thexians at the end of the path. He looked like a mage. I should go and see if I can learn anything from him. I will most likely have to use force to get any information out of him.""I have spoken with Sharhan and he explained that he saw what is probabally the link to the portal. He says the link is an obelisk shaped monument near the Thexian camp.""I have collected the blood runes, learned the location of the necromancer's lair, and discovered how to enter it. Now I should go speak with Sharhan again and let him know what I have learned."
