Walk Through

1. Speak to Roderick in Mite Maze, past where Harlune the Misanthrope used to be. He will give you the Diplomatic Message from Harlune (speak twice if you get A Crabbed Note at first).
2. Head to Bur and then the Southern Catacombs. Use the "Rock" dungeon. The statue Roderick mentions is in the fourth room from the south in the east hallway. The statue will teleport you into the Falatacot Visitor's Alcove.
3. In the first dungeon, head right at the T-junction. Use the second door you come across and follow through. Do NOT jump into any pits, you will not be able to get out.
4. Eventually reach a big, empty room. There is a floor lever just inside the room. Use this plate to spawn the statue and about 10 guards. After a few minutes you will receive a message that the statue's eyes have lit up and you can now use the statue to portal onto the next dungeon. (It appears each person using the statue may have to run over the floor plate/lever at some point to flag to use the statue. No jumping over it).
5. In the next dungeon turn right at the first junction and follow it through to the end. When you reach a door, behind that is the empty room and the statue. As you go in seven Blood Priestesses and an Elite Zharalim Agent will spawn -- retreat into the hallway if necessary. Once you kill the Elite Zharalim Agent, use his body, and the statue will then let you pass. (note: I don't think its necessary to use the body, but i haven't confirmed that yet).
6. Get to the end of the last dungeon and talk to the Falatacot Herald. He will take your Note and then several monsters* will spawn. Tip: If you are an archer or mage, perch from the platform above the mob. Be careful the Laisu Sclavus casts Poison Health (20% lower health for 5minutes) and there is no shortcut back. One of the Blood Priestesses will drop three Falatacot Blood Prophetess Trinkets that you must return to Roderick for XP and the title "Expendable". (If your fellowship is more than 3, the herald respawns very quickly).
7. If you speak to the NPC a 2nd time, he will give you a ride to Teth ;)

Lore & Dialog

Town Crier tells you, "Rumor has it that Harlune has picked up and left the Mite Maze, though he still maintains a residence there. It might be worth finding out what's going on down there."

Town Crier tells you, "I've heard that Roderick, the bodyguard in the Mite Maze who's watching over Harlune's business, has some shady ties..."

Ulgrim the Unpleasant tells you, "You know, I really admire that Harlune fellow. I mean, he taught Celcynd everything he knows, right? And Celcynd spends all of his time in a bar drinking! Clearly, Harlune is wise."

---

Roderick tells you, "Hmm...Ya think ya might be interested in doin' a favor for Harlune? Ya look tough enough to survive what he has in mind."
Roderick gives you Diplomatic Message from Harlune.
Roderick tells you, "The Falatacot Matriarchs sent him a message, ya see, askin' if he'd like to ally. Well, of course he don't - the Falatacot can't be trusted one bit. So he wants to send a message back...but ya know how Harlune can be."
Roderick tells you, "Anyways, he asked me to find some volunteers to deliver the mission. He didn't tell me to mention it, but I'll be nice and mention it anyways - the Falatacot ain't gonna be happy when they read the message."
Roderick tells you, "Here, take this and bring it to Bur. One of the statues up there should lead to a new place where ya can go and deliver the message, and then ya better be ready for a fight. If ya win, bring something back to prove to me that ya won."

Roderick tells you, "Ya have the note - what are ya doin' here still? Go to Bur and find the way to deliver that note. Ya need to use a new statue to get in - it's in a place that us Isparians ain't never been to before now. Don't forget to bring back proof ya won."

This is the statue that Roderick told you about. You activate it and are teleported away to the Falatacot Visitor's Alcove.

The state [sic] looks as if it has been tampered with...its eyes are dull.

The statue's eyes light up suddenly - it can be used again, you would surmise.

The statue whispers in your head, "You bear a message for the matriarchs. You may pass."

You hand over all of your Diplomatic Message from Harlunes.
The Falatacot Herald reads the message from Harlune. At first, his aged face is impassive, but as he continues reading a visage of sheer fury appears.
Falatacot Herald says, "You would dare mock our offer so?! You would dare present me with such insults?! Do you see that corpse in the corner? That is from the last messenger we had to deal with, dispatched from that Dericost worm Rytheran!"
Falatacot Hearlad says, "It is fortunate for you the Matriarchs themselves are indisposed - your deaths shall be quick, instead! Come, servants of the Blood, destroy these interlopers and drain their blood for out ends!"
Falatacot Blood Prophetess says, "You would dare such insolence? Fear our wrath!"

Falatacot Herald tells you, "Why do you bother me, human? If you have nothing for me, leave!"
