Stolen Hearts

The Skulls
To start the quest, speak to the Ozan in Draynor Village. He will direct you to the skulls, a gang run by Khnumunderthehousenext to where you are. Go down the ladder making a suitable reply for a blackguard, and talk to Krum to get initiated into the Skulls (any answers to the test seem to work). Talk to Khnum more to find out about the gang, then leave as suggested, and talk to Ozan again. Agree to follow Khnum to find the HQ. Trail Khnum to the deserted jail where you confront him with Ozan.

Interrogation
After a cut scene in which Leela appears, interrogate Khrum to discover that the plot to kidnap Prince Ali involves a shipon the south coast of Draynor. Leave for the coast with Ozan.

Prince Ali Rescue?


Talk to the mercenary or Lady Kelitoinitiateanothercutscene. Lady Keli casts thrall on the mercenaries and leaves them to fight you, Ozan and Leela (who have teleported in). Defeat the Skulls and take the ransom note to trigger a conversation - if you want the bones take them first as they "vanish" when you trigger the conversation. Make a note of the pass phrase Leela tells you. Agree to accompany Ozan to Al Kharid - travel there by whatever means are suitable.

Return to Al-Kharid
Talk to Ozan in Al Kharid, and go to the palace. The guard refuses to let you in even after a long conversation. Talk to Ozan again to hatch a plan. Go to the crafting store and up to the roof. Walk a cross the plank and slide down the awning. Go through the building and across the washing line, up the ladder, across the planks and up another ladder. Jump down the scaffold, and climb down the rug, swing across the wooden frame jump from another scaffold (by clicking on the platform one is on, rather than an option appearing on the other building) and bounce across the awning to the bank. Climb up the brickwork and click on the "leave it to Ozan flagpole" and a momentary cut scene of Ozan firing an rope to the palace ensues.

Shimmy across the rope. Attempt to climb the brickwork to trigger a short cutscene where the Menaphite ambassador Jabari is "negotiating" with Osman, Hassan and the Emir to put a Menaphite on the throne of Al Kharid after the Emir dies. After the ambassador and the Grand Vizier leave, the emir and Osman discuss the kidnap, the Emir insists that the "Kharid-ib" must not leave Al Kharid, though ali must be recovered at any cost save that.

The Kharid-ib
Ozan suggest that "we just not ask" about the "Kharid-ib", so climb the brick-work and break in through the skylight. After a short conversation open one of the ornate chests to recover the scroll History of the Kharid-ib. Read the scroll.



You now have two weighings to determine the heavy weight, which has the diamond in it. Using the method in the scroll, find the heavy weight and follow the instructions to take it into your inventory. Please note if players log off, they will find themselves outside the palace. Simply talk to Ozan again to be taken back into the diamond room. Check it on the display. A cut scene ensues, tell Osman the passphrase from Leela. You hand the diamond over to Osman and are taken to the Emir who forbids it to be used as ransom. In the ensuing discussion the emir dies and you and Ozan are freed - Ozan has his citizenship reinstated.

Congratulations! Quest complete!
