 [23] The Horn of Xelthos |
Objectives
Find The Horn of Xelthos inside of Shadowfang Keep. Then, return it to C's dead drop near Pyrewood Village. You must complete the job alone.
Description
<A note sits in the chest>
Hello, <name>.
I desire a treasure known as The Horn of Xelthos, which is somewhere within Shadowfang Keep.
Venturing inside the keep usually calls for backup. However, for this job, a low profile is of utmost importance.
You must go alone.
I have a contact, by the name of Veenix, in the Stonetalon Mountains. He should be able to help you get past the courtyard gate. The rest is up to you.
Return the horn here, and your payment will be sent soon after.

Rewards
You will receive:

Progress
<The chest sits, empty.>
Completion
<You place The Horn of Xelthos into the chest>
Notes
Obtaining the quest
In order to obtain this quest, you must first reach level 20, at which point you will receive a letter from "C" in the mail. This quest will only appear after reading the letter:
Greetings <name>,
I've been observing your handiwork for some time now. I must say, I'm impressed. You're clearly no mere street urchin.
There's a job I'd like you to do for me; the retrieval of a certain treasure. I assure you the pay is lucrative.
If you're interested, I've left a dead drop in a cabin beside Pyrewood Village. You'll find more information within.
Regards,
-C
Completing the quest
To obtain the Horn, the Rogue must sneak through parts of Shadowfang Keep to the Ornamented Chest in the stables. This must be done solo.
- Passing through the door to the courtyard without killing Rethilgore can be accomplished by destroying it with a
[Breaching Charge] from Veenix in the Stonetalon Mountains, or by waiting until level 22 and using 
[Vanish] after opening Deathstalker Adamant's cell. - Obtaining the key to the chest requires pick pocketing the
[Sister's Half-Key] from Gemela in the dining hall, and the 
[Brother's Half-Key] from Gefell just up the stairs from there. Combine the two halves to make the 
[Twin Key]. Be warned that doing so will take cancel stealth.
