Second quest in phase one of Hallmark

[ZuitSu]

<DIV>I have a question about the second quest in the first phase of the Ranger Hallmark.  I enter into the secret meeting as instructed and am told by various guild mates that I need to ring the bells scattered about the area to put the big bad guys to sleep so they don't pound me, the problem is that I can't interact with the bells or much of anything else in that zone save for a small door that appears to have some sort of chest behind it (which again, I can't interact with) and of course the nasties in the zone that want me for pick-up game of Squash.  Am I missing something here?  Was theres someone I was suposed to talk to before entering the zone, am I experiencing a possible bug, or am I just a dunce?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thanks for any suggestions or help in advance...  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV><p>Message Edited by ZuitSuit on <span class=date_text>03-20-2005</span> <span class=time_text>08:04 PM</span>

I may be wrong as I am not to this part yet but I read that you just need to hear what is going on at the meeting to get the update.  The guide that i reasd said something about sneaking to the bad guys and listining to them but I can't remember where I read it sorry. <div></div>

I don't remember any bells..." checked and yes, I'm reading the ranger forum, yes, he's talking about the hallmark that I completed...LOL, so yes, stealth downstairs and bypass all the nasty guards, find the representative you need to kill and terminate him. Watch for the wandering bad guy that patrols in and out of that room, though. (You'll need to kill him too, just don't want to take both him and your target at a time.) </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Anybody think this particular hallmark task is a bit more suited to...well...erm...an assassin?? (And in Qeynos, it sure does seem like the ends justify the means, no? Some "good guys" they turned out to be, hehe!)</FONT></DIV>

Apparently, the varous Scouts all use this instanced zone for their Subclass quest, but the problem and solution for each Subclass is a little different.  The bells and the chest belong to other Subclass solutions; that is why you can't interact with them.  As noted by other posters, the Ranger solution is to sneak downstairs and kill the "person" you find there. <p>Message Edited by Jiinx on <span class=date_text>03-22-2005</span> <span class=time_text>10:32 PM</span>

<P>Thanks so much for your help everyone...  Just a hint to anyone else having a bit of a problem with this particular quest.  Make sure you have at least an app 3 Hunt combat skill scribed, or your sneak won't make it past the Gnolls Down stairs.  Learned that the hard way...  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></P> <P> </P> <P>Cheers!</P><p>Message Edited by ZuitSuit on <span class=date_text>03-27-2005</span> <span class=time_text>08:28 PM</span>

I hit my hunt ap1 and was able to sneak past the guards. Sneaked to the basement to the back room and viola... killed the target.  Then went into hunt again and the next negotiator came. Killed him. Sneaked passed the guards to the outside. Of course I died twice before I figured this out.
