Has anyone read about this quest?[long]

This is one of the longest quests to complete. It starts in the park on Kensignton Broadway in which you meet the half-orc, Thom Grak. He will ask you to find Sir Leonid Anderson and tell him to meet him at the subterranean kiosk on Kensignton Broadway.

Sir Leonid is the red suited gentlemen, getting drunk in the Gentlemen’s club at 77 Vermillion Road. Upon talking with him, Thom will burst in and attempt to kill Sir Leonid. Ensure your followers back off, and once Sir Leonid has finished him off, talk to Sir Leonid and convince him that you were not involved in the assassination attempt. He will then ask you to meet him outside.

He will start spinning a tale of lies within lies and conspiracy. He will ask you to find the skulls of the Ren’ar Siamese twins which are located in Tarant somewhere.

Searching around, you will find them stashed in a warehouse, 17 Quilton Bend, being guarded by a Were-Rat and Half-Ogre. The barrels are locked so you need to open it (pick locks, unlocking cantrip, destroy).

Returning the skulls to him, he will then tell you more about the dastardly experiments going on. He will ask you to find him colleague Arthur Tyron in Blackroot.

In Blackroot, no trace of him can be found, but if you follow the path south you will find an abandoned house with a mysterious note “The crow is in Danger, Tyron�.

Returning to Tarant, and talking with Sir Leonid, doesn’t really shed more light on Tyron’s whereabouts.

He is actually hiding out in Caladon at 22 Dragon’s Turnabout. Talk to him there and he tell you about a conspiracy to breed Half-Ogres. He will ask you to find more proof on Half-Ogre Island. You can book passage there from one of the ship captains or use the teleport spell.

Important! Make sure you have money for the journey back! The fare is for one way only, otherwise you will be spending the rest of your life there. You may wish to leave your followers behind if you are short of cash.

Here you will find a deserted factory with a book detailing horrible experiments performed on women, giving birth to Half-Ogres.

Returning to Caladon to tell Tyron what you have found, you find he has been “replaced� by a mysterious gnome who tells you more about the conspiracy.

You can then take the book to the newspapers, trying to alert the authorities using the power of the press. The Caladon branch of the Tarantian can be found at 7 Saints Avenue. Here you meet Sam Longwell. He will promise to reveal the conspiracy and pay you 100 gold for your efforts.

Returning you will find him mysteriously gone!!! The real Caladon reporter, James Legget has returned, you have been fooled. Where is Skully and Mulder when you need them?

Editor’s Notes – Killing any of the people in the quest and talking to their spirits yields no further information. You can pick pocket the book back but I haven’t found a use for it. Going to the Tarant newspaper office doesn’t yield any further results.

Has anyone had been to that island named "Half-Ogre Island"?What's it like?

 

You might want to put the "quote" and "/quote" marks around the explanation post (in [] brackets), as I take it, you didn't write it (actually, I've seen it before, so you didn't). It makes it easier to descern your little bit at the bottom.

As for your question, half-ogre island is just like the Isle of Dispair really, but it's only got one place on it - the disused factory. Just follow the path to get there. There is a little bit of stuff to loot, as well as the journal, but apart from that, not much else.

Hope that answers your question.

Edit - just noticed that the quotes cocked up.

 

yeah, this was another one of the games shitty quests, and unfinished too, heh, all that time wasted on crap like that, but it had a good plot (sorta) and felt cool as you ran back and forth, and had peoepl replace pther people and such

i believe this "Sir Leonid Anderson" is "Sir Matt De Cesare"

 

I hated that quest, I either couldn't figure it out or botched it. Thanks for posting that.

 

Nah, The quest does not have an ending. You didn't do anything wrong.

It's been discussed in this forum before, that perhaps they'll continue it in Arcanum 2....but don't hold your breath. :wink:

 

If you ask Arthur tyron why sir matt de cesare doesn't go to half ogre island, he tells you that matt de cesare is dead. The only good think about half ogre island is that cool chemistry schematic (paralyser) Its easier to make these than the normal paralyser (which is the same) as wine is very common.
I find it strange that no-one will take you to thanatos but they';ll take you to cattan.

 

I found that the half ogre that guards the house of the dwarf at Isle of Despair has a lot of information (to thicken the plot) on this quest.

He begins by explaining that doesn't recall having had any parents (human or ogres) and that he too used to work for a gnome until he started asking too many questions.

It's interesting to follow, if you have the time (those of us who are posting at this forum MUST have the time).

To start the conversation ask the question of:
"No offense, but you seem very intelligent for an Ogre".
