Pick your way through the court dialogue options (see "Loquacious Orator" below), free Gorrik with the key, and then meet Lord Faren by the docks. After some more dialogue there is an introduction to a new mechanic: squishing bugs. You can either do this (a) on foot by jumping on them, (b) on a mount by running them over, or (c) on a roller beetle mount. (Using a roller beetle is the fastest method but is only available after playing through the story once before and completing the collection.) Squish all of the marshmallow bugs as indicated by the green stars to continue. Meet Faren at dock six to play a cinematic, whereupon the scarab plague arrives on the boat. Squish the scarab plague bugs with your mount. Take the opportunity afterwards to move some of the rocks on the ground to the northwest side of the small square - you may find them useful for the breakbar shortly. Joko's Projection then animates some newly deceased locals. Kill them, and then fight the Elite Istari the Inexorable. Several times during the first phase of the fight, Istari moves to a nearby corpse and gains a breakbar - break it to interrrupt her. There is a pause in the fight at 50%, where more locals appear —Aurene backs you up with some dragon fire— and then Istari traps you in a spell ring forcing you to fight her unto death. Listen to the remaining dialogue to complete the mission. Optionally there is a statue you may destroy in the hold of the boat.
