3.5-4 Story continues:
(2 days later)
Lemark sprinted down the alleyway, an endeavor likely to leave one examining refuse closer than generally preferable, but this wasn’t his first time. He slowed for a moment to glance behind him, merchants still chasing with guards closely behind them. He was surprised they hadn’t given up, they must be very sensitive about their heritage here, the item itself was a bit too everyday to inspire this kind of rage. “Two more blocks”, he thought to himself, double-checking the sealed, cylindrical case he carried. His attempted thievery had failed, for today, but he wasn’t going to lose what he had to the muddy waters of the bay.

Muddy waters of the bay, which suggests it’s bordering the ocean. Lion’s Arch is probably what’s meant, but hmm.

Worth noting the case in question was not what he was working to steal but seems to suggest a map or scroll case. And is important enough to make sure he didn’t drop it. It might be what was purchased the first time . . .

And “sensitive about their heritage” seems strange if it’s Lion’s Arch – there’s not a singular heritage to that place these days.

A little to . . . everyday? Spoons, huh? Or is it more exotic and is a FORK?

Well if it is Lion’s Arch, he could be running from the Tengu that are near the Shuttered Gate.

Could be Divinity Reach, its bordered by water on every side except that which we have access to, and is much more particular about its heritage.

EDIT: Wait, what about the Wizard’s Fief?

Every single “BAY”
——
Steamspur Bay is east of the Steamspur Mountains.
Sawtooth Bay in Southsun with Privateer’s Moorage POI
The Janthir Bay is the sea to the far north of Kryta and the Maguuma Jungle.
Ventry Bay is an area within Caledon Forest.
Quetzal Bay is main body of water in Caledon Forest
Slade’s Bay POI at Brigantine Isles.
Terzetto Bay in the Straits of Devastation.
Mirror Bay at the Cathedral of Eternal Radiance
Whisper Bay at Malchor’s Leap
Sanguine Bay in Bloodtide Coast.
Bay Haven POI at Sandycove Beach. In Caledon Forest.
Necrolith Bay in Caledon Forest.
Sorrow’s Bay in Lion’s Arch. With Eastern Pyramid POI.
Ehmry Bay “somewhere” in Tyria.


Now it can’t be any of the Caledon areas, aka Sylvari homelands because they’re a new race. I am unsure of Orr but I highly doubt it as well, that it would be an area that has lost histories about it. Therefore it has to be any of the “Lionguard” posts/areas, as the free people of Lion’s Arch would be “sensitive about their heritage.” Thinking caps on~.

OK, so the second item is a “scroll” of some kind. And it sounds like it’s located in a town that’s near a bay. (The mud suggests that it’s an actual bay too, not just a name.)

Eastern Pyramid is a point of interest within Sorrow’s Bay.
NOTE:
Only accessible during The Battle of Claw Island and Retribution.
This POI is outside the instance and is awarded upon entering the instance.

But in the wiki it says that Sorrow’s Bay is an area where ships come and go from LA. Perhaps then it’s near this area, start looking through allies and slums haha

Sorry guys, yeah, wrong thread, two tabs open at once, my feeble mind got confused. Try checking which bays have the Order of Whispers stationed nearby. A scroll and heritage (Someone assumed it could be Elonian, which also matches) definitely screams Whispers, especially if they seem to get easily outraged over something most would think was small. The “an endeavor likely to leave one examining refuse closer than generally preferable,” quote is likely a reference to him slipping in a gutter, not much more. We should probably focus on the usage of “alleyway” as well, seeing as that’s not something awfully common in the cities of Tyria. My best bet is Garrenhoff. It has an Arcane Eye base, was involved in the whispers campaign, encompasses a small harbor/bay, and is loomed over by a ridiculously sketchy Wizard’s Tower.

“He was surprised they hadn’t given up, they must be very sensitive about their heritage here, the item itself was a bit too everyday to inspire this kind of rage.”

This seems to imply that the item is both somewhat generic and perhaps named in some special way pertaining to the culture in question and its heritage.

Hmm..there’s a Mysterious Fog down in the sewers under LA. When you talk to it/him/her, you say (as an Asura, anyway) ‘What happened to you?’ It isn’t you that says this, but the Fog, as it turns out.

Then the Mysterious Fog disappears, and you can ‘Interact’, and do the picking up animation, but my character didn’t seem to pick anything up. Strange….

Edit: After Mysterious Fog passes a particular place, a ‘Suspicious Area’ (or Suspicious something) appears, and that is what you can interact with, and subsequently do the ‘picking up’ animation. Still picked up nothing that I can see…

More edits: The ‘Mysterious Fog’ says different things if you follow it/him/her…one of which is ‘Wanna play?’, giving the impression it is a child.

When I followed the mysterious fog it led me to samson, he was part of the scavenger hunt in 2012 for the mad memoires. When interacting with him he even gave me his piece. Maybe we can get the mad memoires again this year? Or maybe it’s just a bug/remnant from 2012?

So I went to Samson and talked to him. Who says these events happened currently. And wasn’t it the Mad King who left him behind? What if they were in it together? I talked to Samson and it says: The Fog is thick around him, something isn’t right, speak to the Durmond Priory about it.

Notice the Ghostly Doubloon reads:
“This used to be cursed but the Durmand Priory removed it.”
— Professor Maciver

Next is Durmand’s Priory, of course the answer was on the doubloon all along!

Speaking to the Priory Agent Huntsley:

Before the attack on Lion’s Arch
Isn’t it amazing? We’re directly over the ruins of Lion’s Arch Keep.
The ruling families of Kryta once held court in these dilapidated walls.
? What’s the Durmand Priory doing in the ruins?
Queen Jennah asked us to recover drowned keepsakes from her family’s lineage.
? Have you discovered anything useful?
Just bits and pieces about the Keep, like its relationship to the Lionguard, and how Durmand himself was viewed by the monarchy.
? Interesting. Good luck with your excavation.

I dunno, just some tidbits on a loose end? Feel free to look.~

Sensitive word somehow reminded me of Tengu race. They are all protective and having guards on gates all the times. Like someone already mentioned it could be that tengu spoon.
Another interesting possibility, there is tengu skill point near caledon forest bay. So even though it don’t drop scroll of knowledge it does give skill points. I might be way off here, but could it be scroll of knowledge.

So I went back to the place where I started, having bought the ghostly doubloon. The priory woman says: they removed the curse by bathing the cursed artifacts in dawn’s first light. Maybe…now I could be thinking too much, the ghostly doubloon says it was removed. Could it be this recipe uses the gift of light? —- or…dawn, something from Dwayna? I don’t know, maybe I am over thinking it but I’ve also purchased the “ancient Krytan Amulet”.

I don’t think you have to have done anything previously—or if you do, you don’t have to have done it this year. I saw the mysterious fog and spoke to him having done no other Halloween-related things this year.

The mysterious fog was only visible for a few seconds, and Samson seems to disappear after a minute or so as well, so you might have to be very on-the-ball about this.
