What the recruiter says

Hail: Ruwakka says, 'Me helping de adventurers of de Wayfarers Brotherhood. Me in charge of recruiting brave fighters for de strange stuff going on in de land of de froggies. If you rally de call of your friends we needs help wit dis serious [problem].'

[problem]: Ruwakka says, 'We learned from de scouts that de First Witness of de Cauldron of Hate found a way to harness de foul curse in Deepest Guk. De First Witness is de strongest of them all. He amassing a group of followers large enough to make him deity! We needs you to stop de First Witness 'fore he unleash fury on us all. Are you [interested]?'

[interested]: Ruwakka smashes his left fist into his right palm, for effect. 'Crush de First Witness and all of dem followers!'

How it plays out

1. Meet the two scouts. Scout Mainil and Scout Granos are waiting just inside. Mainil asks you to split up: half the raid goes with him and half stays to guard Granos at the exit. Tell Mainil you are [ready] when you want to go (or [wait] to hold him). If someone simply walks away from him, he sets off on his own.
2. Guard Granos. On the way, Mainil says, "It sounds as though the assault has begun. I hope that Granos and your companions can hold the entrance." Granos shouts, "It appears as though the assault is starting. Prepare yourselves." The group at the entrance has to keep Granos alive. (With only one or two players in the instance, Granos shouts "I can hold the entrance. Go -- stay with Mainil!" and holds the entrance alone.)
3. Follow Mainil. He finds a second trail and scratches a note for Granos ("The scout appears to no longer need your protection."). Then "The smell of death is carried heavy on a wind from the South," and he leads you to the Executioner, who is feeding souls to the Cauldron. Like the First Witness, the Executioner is protected and can't be hurt yet.
4. Granos follows the note. Granos shouts, "Mainil left us instructions to head East, he is going to explore what lies North. He believes we should find the First Witness in that direction." When he reaches the Cauldron: "There are the foci. They must be destroyed before he completes his spell, or his power will increase tenfold." Every soul the Cauldron takes brings out another follower ("The flames roar with angry heat as the Cauldron consumes the soul.").
5. Destroy the three foci. When the last one goes down: "As the last Focus blinks lifelessly, the room trembles. The First Witness screams as his shield of protection fails, 'Infidels! I was so close! You shall die!'" Now both the First Witness and the Executioner can be killed.
6. Kill the Executioner (optional) and the First Witness. If both scouts are still alive when each one dies, you see "Your victory has weakened a shroud of magic cloaking the dungeon's treasure." The First Witness's last words: "There will always be a First. You have not won."

Reward

Two chests appear where the First Witness falls. A third appears if you killed the Executioner first. Both scouts must be alive at each kill, or no chests appear.
