Escort the prisoner [[Excaliace]] to the room at the southern end of the map.
{| class="horizon-table" style="width:100%;"
* You start in the round room in H-6. Excaliace is there waiting for you.
|+ '''Seagull Grounded'''
* You do not control Excaliace like a normal Escort NPC.
|-
** When he starts running, follow him until he stops and says something.
! Assault Area
** While he's on the move, just stay right on his heels, between 3'-5'. You can't /follow him, but you can lock target on him and auto-run.
| [[Periqia]]
** Once he stops and says something, as long as a member of the party stays near and facing him, he won't move.
! Mercenary Rank
** If you back off to between 5' and 10', he will start moving towards the end as long as you are close enough and he doesn't encounter any monsters.
| [[Private Second Class|Private Second Class (PSC)]]
** Do not get more than 10' away from him for long or he will try to escape.
|-
*** If you don't catch him, he'll escape and say "Heh. The Immortals really must be having troubles finding troops if they sent this bunch of slowpokes to watch over me..."  The assault will then be considered a failure and will end.
! Mission Giver
** He will occasionally stop while deciding where to go. When he does this, it is not necessary to back off (in fact, doing so may cause him to start running backwards). When you need to back off, he'll say "Someone's been eating too much garlic...". Backing off to just over 5' is sufficient.
| [[Lageegee]], {{Location Tooltip|area=Aht Urhgan Whitegate|map=Map 1|pos=L-9|text=L-9}}
** If he sees a monster or you stay more than 10' away from him for about 10 seconds, he will run back towards the entrance until he gets tired or someone manages to stop him somehow. He'll run at faster than normal movement speed back towards the entrance for a while, then say "<Pant>... <Wheeze>" and stop for a bit, and after the delay look to make a break for it. You have to be caught up with him by the time he looks to make a break for it.
! Staging Point
** It is possible to stop him while he's moving forward by getting just ahead of him. To do this, get in front of him then lock on and quickly run at the front of him like you are looking him in the eyes. If done right, he will stop and mention your bad breath. Back off a bit to make him move again. Party members standing near or running next to him will interfere with stopping him.
| [[Dvucca Isle Staging Point]], {{Location Tooltip|area=Caedarva Mire|map=Map 2|pos=I-9|text=I-9}}
** Only one member of the party needs to escort him. The rest of the party should stay away so they don't interfere with trying to get him moving. [[Flee]] or +movement speed gear are useful, but not necessary, for the player staying with the prisoner.
|-
* Best Strategy I learned is having one person who knows how to control Excaliace stay with him and everyone else just run ahead and kill everything
! Recommended Level
* For the 3 pairs of rooms in (H/I-7/8), he chooses to visit either the West or East room.
| 70
** You MUST kill the crabs if he chooses that room
! Party Size
** One side has 3 [[Arrapago Crab]]s, the other has no mobs, so wait for him to choose.
| 1-6
** If he chooses the side with mobs, stay at the crossroads to intercept him when he comes running back, and clear the room before starting him again.
|-
** When he goes to a room with no mobs, follow him until he stops, then move away so he continues to the next pair of rooms.
! Time Limit
*** When he gets to the wall, if you're between 5' and 10' from him he will just pause and turn around; if you're closer he'll stop and complain about your breath, and you'll need to get him started again.
| 30 minutes
** His choice between vacant or crab-occupied room is random. He can choose to investigate all the empty rooms, or he can choose the occupied rooms, or he can investigate a mixture.
! Base Reward
* After investigating three of six rooms, he goes south to the crossroads in SE (H-8).
| 1,100 [[Assault Points]]
* He will turn West or East at the crossroads and head to the 'T' in SW (H-9), past [[Periqia Pugil]]s and a [[Debaucher]].
|-
** The direction he chooses is random.
! Objective
** There are 2 Pugils on the West path, 3 on the East path.
| Escort the prisoner
** The Debaucher can spawn in the crossroads in SW (H-9), in the room in NE (H-9) (on the East path), or in the tunnel in (G-8).
! Mission Map
* He stops at the crossroads in SW (H-9), then continues South.
| {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=H-6|text=Map 8}}
* There is another Debaucher in (G-10).  It can spawn either to the West, where you need to deal with it, or to the East, where Excaliace won't see it.
|}
* There is one more Debaucher in the final room. If it spawns on the North side of the room you need to deal with it; if it spawns on the South side of the room he won't see it.
 
** Be sure it is out of the way before he enters the room; if he sees it and runs away, he can jump right up a cliff and get far away from you.
==Mission Orders==
* When he reaches the NW corner of the southernmost room in (F-11), you win, and the Rune of Release and Ancient Lockbox appear next to him.
The Immortals have captured [[Excaliace]], a member of the rebel [[Seagull Phratrie]]. Escort the prisoner through [[Periqia]] and deliver him safely to the designated holding area.

==Escort Controls==
[[Excaliace]] is not controlled through a normal escort command. His movement depends on player distance, facing, nearby enemies, and his randomly selected route.
 
{| class="horizon-table"
! Condition
! Result
|-
| A player approaches within approximately 10 yalms
| Begins the escort.
|-
| A player stands within approximately 4 yalms
| Excaliace stops moving.
|-
| Excaliace and a player face each other within approximately 5 yalms
| Excaliace stops; this can also catch him while he is retreating.
|-
| A player remains within approximately 10 yalms while facing Excaliace
| Prevents the unattended escape timer from expiring.
|-
| No qualifying player remains near him for approximately 10 seconds
| Excaliace begins running back toward the entrance.
|-
| A living enemy comes within approximately 12 yalms
| Excaliace panics and retreats.
|-
| Excaliace reaches his escape point
| The Assault fails.
|}
 
The most reliable position is approximately '''5-10 yalms behind him''', facing toward him. This allows him to move while keeping the escape timer reset.
 
==Walkthrough==
# Enter at {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=H-6|text=H-6}}.
# Designate one party member as the escort controller.
#* The controller should approach [[Excaliace]] to begin the mission.
#* Other party members should move ahead and clear enemies.
# Keep approximately 5-10 yalms behind Excaliace while facing him.
#* Moving too close stops him.
#* Moving too far away for too long causes him to run toward the entrance.
# Excaliace proceeds through three east-west pairs of side rooms:
#* {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=H-7|text=H-7}} and {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=I-7|text=I-7}}
#* {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=H-8|text=H-8}} and {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=I-8|text=I-8}}
#* A third paired junction also lies within the {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=H-8|text=H-8}} / {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=I-8|text=I-8}} section.
# At each pair, Excaliace randomly chooses one room.
#* One side may contain [[Arrapago Crab]]s while the opposite room is empty.
#* Wait for him to reveal his choice before committing the party to one room.
#* Clear the selected room before allowing him to enter.
# Excaliace pauses briefly at the end of each selected room before returning to the central passage.
# After completing the three room checks, he travels toward {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=H-9|text=H-9}}.
# At the lower fork, he randomly selects an eastern or western route.
#* Clear [[Periqia Pugil]]s and [[Debaucher]]s before he approaches.
# Continue through {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=G-10|text=G-10}} toward the final holding area.
# If Excaliace encounters an enemy:
## He begins running back toward the entrance.
## Move ahead of him.
## Face him at close range to stop and catch him.
## After he stops, back away again so he resumes the escort route.
# Escort him to {{Location Tooltip|area=Periqia|map=Map 8|pos=F-11|text=F-11}}.
# When he reaches the endpoint, the objective completes automatically.
# The [[Ancient Lockbox]] and [[Rune of Release]] appear beside him.
# Open the Ancient Lockbox and distribute all treasure before activating the Rune of Release.
# Examine the Rune of Release to complete the Assault and receive [[Assault Points]].
