Zach, you forgot to mention, "no melee protect" as well...
anyway, i started and finished the quest talking to the elves not at the starting point as stated by the guide...
i think my "strategy" is a lot safer, and in the long run, faster, than the one in the guide...
i first met them near tyras' camp, at the swamp place there (where treasure trail digs are), both of them... so i didn't need to look for the other anymore... (lucky!!!) and when i went back, they were not there... but after a minute, they were there again... and so did the last time i went back to finish the quest...
just my two yens' worth...
