This is a non-progression task. It is a group mission (3-6 players) that begins with Celrak Blightblood (click for map image) in the Dark Reign camp of the Lavastorm Mountains.

Pre-requisites for requesting:
- Level 59
- Minimum "apprehensive" faction with Dark Reign

Hail him to get a quest selection window pop-up.

You have been assigned the task 'Animated Statue Plans'.

It's said that great treasures are held safely within the hallowed halls of Stillmoon Temple, guarded by powerful statues that animate when trespassers are near. Recently, one of our agents tracked down some goblin architects that seem to have the knowledge of building a new, stronger version of these juggernauts. Having some of these statues under our control would be most beneficial to our cause. Your mission is twofold. You are to go to the temple and retrieve the creation plans. Then destroy any of the gargantuan prototype statue that has been created with the plans. We can not have any remnant of these statues falling into the hands of Norrath's Keepers. Do not fail.

Note: This group mission scales to your group's level. The highest is 68+, outlined here.







Touch the portal to Stillmoon Temple 0/1 (The Broodlands)

The entrance will be marked on your compass (entered in the north-central part of the Broodlands, near the non-instanced entrance to Stillmoon Temple).



Find the Animated Statue Plans 0/1 (Stillmoon Temple)

Kill 1 Stillmoon Statue Prototype 0/1 (Stillmoon Temple)

You'll need to kill at least 20 mobs in the zone (any mobs count). After 20 kills, "a goblin warlord" spawns in the large room in the far northeast part of the zone, just in front of a dragon statue. As you make your way through the sand area, you'll come across a non-aggro "a stone statue" (ignore this mob for now):

a goblin worker says 'More sand! We need more sand for the statue!'
a goblin worker says 'Ignore the adventurers. We must complete the statue!'
a goblin worker says 'Oops! I hope that didn't damage the statue.'

Head to the northeasternmost room and, there, find "a goblin warlord". Next to it is a non-aggro mob called "a goblin guard" (ignore this mob).

When ready for the encounter, aggro the warlord:

a goblin warlord says 'How dare you invade our temple and defile it with your presence! You will all pay! Guard! Retrieve reinforcements!'

At this time, "a goblin guard" runs to the room to the south of the warlord's room and activates "a stone statue" which charges the warlord's location.

The warlord hits for a max ~1,050; flurries; summons; is immune to root/snare; and procs "Goblin Headbutt":

Goblin Headbutt: Single Target, (-17)
1: Stun (3.00 sec)

The statue hits for a max ~900; does not summon; and can be rooted/snared. It doesn't cast anything. Both mobs have ~50,000-60,000 hitpoints.

The Animated Statue Planes plans are looted from "a goblin warlord".



Deliver 1 Animated Statue Plans to Celrak Blightblood 0/1 (Lavastorm Mountains)

Upon turn-in, the task completes.


Rewards:
Up to 36 Ebon Crystals (number varies according to group's level)

I think I killed the warlord too fast. The statue never aggro'd, so it seems I can't continue with the task.
