Otto was not working in the Black Pines. It took some time to fix him up, Fix some other quests in the area, and add a couple more.

A demonologist expedition has dug further into the Black Pines, and a run of new quests, aimed at newbies.

- Walk old Pimonia safely home before she wanders off into the pines again.
- Gut the enemy supply line: cull the guards who ate the poisoned rations, then burn what stores are left.
- Run down a courier and read the orders he carries. Otto will want to know what they say. So will his old enemies.
- Work out what the demonologists are summoning, and help Gatiss break the circle before it closes. Whatever is caught halfway through those stones comes out fighting.
- A few older Black Pines quests that had quietly stopped working are back in order, and one that could never be finished at all has been retired.

Get to know Otto, Titus, Andrisk, and Gatiss around the camp to pick up the trail.

Also Fixed:

- The Kohdon Hermit's Trials near Nysanti Lake can be finished now, top to bottom: the raft, the puzzle box in the Anali River, and the repair of Lianthe's shrine. If that box has been mocking you for years, go have another word with it. This is actually a chain of six quests.

Penned by my hand on the 14th of Tenebrae, in the year 402 AM.
