Sacrifices

Dozens have been taken from Korthos Village, never to be seen again except as slaves of the Devourer, lusting only to spill the blood of their former neighbours.

Overview

Mayor Viggie Storr sent you to rescue his daughter, and many other Korthos villagers who have been kidnapped by the Devourer Sahuagin and Cultists.

They are being held in the Cannith Aqueduct. To reach the Aqueduct, you must travel through the Korthos Island wilderness to the Eastern-most point of the island. You must find a path to climb up the cliff there. The entrance to the Aqueduct is at the top of the cliff.

Tips and Misc

This adventure is easier than most of this level.
The villagers are being held in two areas: in the room with the two bridges (in cells on either end of the room), and at the end of the quest.
In the water is a locked door, with a chest behind it.

The door lock can be picked using Open Lock, or unlocked with Knock from the ledge leading to the room.
As of U46 (April 2020), the door can be unsealed by using a total of 10 underwater levers. In that water are two hatches that reveal locked levers. The four levers that unlock those are behind the various underwater bars, which are raised via the large underwater levers. So... open 2 hatches, open 4 bars, throw 4 levers behind bars, throw 2 levers below hatches, open locked door, open chest. Each of these is a very short swim, so no water breathing item or spell is needed.

Sab Vurl may appear in the North-west corner of the room with bridge over water, after you pull the second lever (in the space with the lever to free the first set of villagers).
The 2 humans which spawn with Sab Vurl seem to respawn 1 time if he appears the first time.
Several sahuagin will spawn the first time someone drops down into the lower area, leading to/past the shrine.
The Skeletal Mage is in a raised alcove northwest of the shrine room; to get to him, you have to hop across the rafters, starting at the southern end.
- Do not underestimate this miniboss on Elite! This fight may be the number one cause of death for newborn Hardcore characters.
Cult leader Drenyl Fallow is past the closed gate to the west, near the end. Killing him (and looting his chest) is optional, but may be necessary if Arissa is there (see below).
The cultists just after the first area of captives respawn every three minutes or so, making the Conquest bonus possible. Assigning a hireling to attack the respawns in this corner can save some time while the rest of the party goes on ahead.
Map notes:
- Arissa can spawn at one of two locations: either next to Drenyl Fallow in the north/western tunnel, or in the eastern cell with the second group of captured villagers at the end of the far northern tunnel. Both possible locations are marked on the second map (above).
On an Elite run you can kill approx. 25, missing any kill bonus. The 2 minions after the bridge respawn (slowly) to collect additional kills.

Historical note: This quest is a reworking of the Sewer Rescue quest from the original Harbor area.
