Due to RL getting in the way, I'm way behind and don't know that I'll 'finish' beta or not this year (probably not)...but I got started today 
...
Note I will not be doing a writeup on the names this year... so far they've been pretty easy and othin g noteworthy about them... I'll make comments on any that turn out to something more than, in essence, just a slightly harder version of zone trash mobs.
Scarred Grove
Keep in mind as you’re doing these you’ll get faction adjustments so if you help others you may have to use the opposing forces from what your race/deity would normally suggest – Name assisted killing 1 of the rallos zek mobs and then couldn’t get any tasks anywhere. can’t be sure if it’s just harder if you’re evil aligned, or if that kill was the cause (To get the northside quests – good alignments – requires indifferent faction). So, in short, I wound up doing good side for all as I’d killed some stuff for loto and hit faction already with the trolls…so I may go back and do the faction work to do the evil way, but I doubt it
PARTISAN TASKS
Missing Scroll: Grovespeaker Lydora – say “Grovekeeper Phidus” (NOTE: would only give to Lotolag as halfling ranger, not to gaagaa or name (troll shaman and SK).)
Mercenary Tasks
(Good side – northern encampent) – Templar Davrin (loc -275, 100)
Construct Deconstruction: say “constructs” – kill 10 warbound sentinels or damaged forest golems.
On the Offensive: say “forces” kill 15 of Rallos Zek or Solusek Ro forces
Clear the Tunnels: say “hate”. kill 12 innoruuk’s invaders in the tunnels.

PARTISAN TASKS
Missing Scroll: Grovespeaker Lydora – say “Grovekeeper Phidus” (NOTE: would only give to Lotolag as halfling ranger, not to gaagaa or name (troll shaman and SK).)
- Report to Grovekeeper Phidus – loc: -65, -180 (is on find and track) – say “send” to progress
- Locate the missing scout – loc (Phidus says scouts are tracking troop movements toward eastern side of Rallos Zek camp – so head there) You’re looking for “a grove sentinel corpse” one at /loc -1765, -1075 *you’ll get the update when you get close*
- Inspect the scout’s remains – target a grove sentinel corpse and type /inspect
- defeat the ambush. a warmonger ambusher spawns, kill it (I could have sworn I saw 2, but then one ran away or something, and only had to kill the one that stayed).
- collect the Ambusher’s Orders (loot the orders)
- Collect the scout’s report – the notes say “one of Rallos Zek’s minions may have it” so kill some of Rallos Zek’s cronies… eventually you’ll get “Bloodstained Scout Report” and steps 7 and 8
- Return the scout’s report to Grovekeeper Phidus
- Return the ambusher’s report to Grovekeeper Phidus
- Investigate the tunnels (the tunnels are located at /loc -1500, -1400 and you’ll gt the update just inside the tunnel)
- Collect innoruuk’s battleplans – within the tunnels just at the start of the tunnel leading north toward the secret entry is a building – on a barrel at the back is a ground spawn - the battle plans you need - /loc -1060, -1660
- Return battleplans to Grovekeeper Phidus – self explanatory
- Report to Grovespeaker Lydora – say “advantage”
- Speak with Marshal Gulpin – Right beside Lydora, hail him to finish task
- Destroy the invading force’s siege equipment – the equipment is located in the western part of the zone looks like a box on the ground (though I wouldn’t be surprised if that changes to a trebuchet or catapult or something at some point as that would make more sense)– just target and damage to destroy
- Collect ammunition from invading forces – arrows drop from mobs near the siege equipment (seems to only drop from the ogre model “war…” mobs, not the sentinels or burning mobs)
- Deliver ammunition to one of the rangers on the wall – climb on top of the wall around the northern encampment and hand the 5 arrows to “a grove sentinel”
- Report back to Marshal Gulpin – say “enemy” to advance task and recive steps 5-7
- Collect supplies from the innoruuk tunnels – Innoruuk Camp Supplies look like a cardboard box – cannot target but if close and click appears on cursor… remember to double invis and be mindful that the golems see you regardless in this area.
- Collect supplies from Rallos Zek’s camp – Rallos Zek Camp Supplies look like a box on the ground in the southern camp – cannot target but if close and click you get on cursor..many are in tents but not all are.
- Collect supplies from Sulusek Ro’s camp – Solosek Ro camp supplies look like a box on the ground – cannot target them but if close and click you get item on cursor – they are in the camp to the west (many within tents though not all are)
- Deliver Innoruuk supplies to Emplar Davrin - /loc -280, 105
- Deliver Rallos Zek supplies to Templar Davrin
- Deliver Solusek Ro supplies to Templar Davrin
- Return to Marshal Gulpin – go hail him
- Speak with Lady Quellious – She’s in two spots – I went to -1970, 40 and she didn’t respond – went to other at -115, 120 and she was willing to chat, so it does matter which you go to – first hail finishes task – hail again for next task
- Find where the storm ended its rampage – honestly, I see nothing special, but the task updated in the vicinity of -1200, -1575….though there are a few bodies lying on the ground so I guess they are the final victims of the storm? (note: I later noticed the redc storm to the east of here)
- Investigate the bodies around the area – target a storm-battered corpse and /inspect (x3) – note: I actually got one with an odd message (didn’t’ take down the text) that didn’t get an update, so you may need to inspect more than 3.
- Find where the wildlife ran off to – head southeast (/loc -1590, -1780 to the lake for update
- report back to Lady Quellious – say “area” – note – you can go to either Quellious for this… she’ll drop a Storm Mixing Vessel in your inventory – 3slot TS container – if you lose it you can say “vessel” to get another
- Collect storm-touched blood sample – kill a storm-touched wolf near the pond for the drop.
- Collect storm-charged water - take a dip in the pond (probably in the river too, but I looked in the pond) – blue glowy orbs are the groundspawn storm-charged water (note – you can grab early but it doesn’t give you the update).
- Collect storm-infused herbs – as with step 1, I saw nothing that really made it obvious that the storm had crossed a field, but remembered seeing a plant with red flowers, found it and that’s the ground spawn…one is at /loc -1130, -1130 – approx. 1 minute respawn on it.
- Combine the items with the vessel near the storm – you need to do the combine by where the storm is so go to around -1240, -1835 and cross your fingers as you can apparently fail (though not tough to get new supplies for another try).
- Survive the encounter with the storm – note: it says something went t3erribly wrong, but don’t worry about it…just wait a few seconds and you’ll get ported to Quellious (mine all ported to the south quellious, but not sure if that is constant or not)
- Speak with Lady Quellious – say “Plea” receive Lady Quellious’ Plea
- Deliver Lady Quellious’ plea – You have to take the letter to Mithanial Marr or Rallos Zek depending on your faction – Zek is at -1740, -480… Marr is at /loc -185, -380
- Report back to Lady Quellious – go to whichever is closest to the god you gave the plea to… say “plane of magic”
Yay – you finished partisan tasks and get Wild Magic: Attunement at a cost of – ability points…lucky you!
