Walkthrough

Leave Ascalon City. Head southwest under the bridge past Warmaster Grast. Veer to the left past Ambassador Zain's camp down into the ditch (where the river was in pre-Searing Ascalon) and continue heading southwest. You'll face off against some Gargoyles and Devourers, but if you take on the groups one at a time, you'll have no problems getting to the chest containing the census.

With the census in hand, go back to Ascalon City and give it to Symon the Scribe.

Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Symon the Scribe

"King Adelbern has commissioned a monument to those who died in the Searing. I am compiling a list of the names of the fallen, but I don't have all the records I need. I believe a copy of the old census might have survived in the ruins of Old Ascalon. If you could get it for me, it would be a great help."

 Accept: "I'll take care of it."

 Decline: "I'm sorry. I have other things I must do."

 Ask: "Have you found the census? I need it to finish compiling the list of fallen for the king's monument. Lyssa willing, it'll be in the ruins in Old Ascalon."

Reward dialogue

Symon the Scribe

"You found the census! Oh, I'm most...grateful to you. I almost said I was delighted, but one look at this list...so many lost. If we took a census today, the list wouldn't be half this long."

Notes

• Warrior primaries can complete Gargoyle Trouble while doing this quest. There are gargoyles down in the ditch that satisfy the requirements for that quest.
• A quicker route is had by starting from Sardelac Sanitarium, and heading East.
