The three NPCs that you must find are scattered around Kryta. Each of them will start a dialogue when approached, then turn hostile. * Bryce the Stablehand is in The Black Curtain, west from Temple of the Ages. After he is defeated, Grasping Ghouls will begin spawning randomly in the area. * Geoffrey the Butler is in Kessex Peak, just inside the portal. After his very short dialogue, he will run away. He will stop to heal himself, though, so flag heroes/henchmen behind him before triggering the dialogue and you should be able to kill him before he gets away. * Guardsman Brofis the Deserter is in Scoundrel's Rise, in the little glade in the northwest. He is accompanied by 6 random undead, but they are not linked together and can be pulled individually.
