I gave a bottle of milk to the fisherman sitting down and he gave a message about the not being in a bedroll in the inn.
Then some other guy jumps out of nowhere and runs off saying he has the note.
The first time I did this I couldn't catch the guy and then the fisherman started walking off aimlessly.
In frustration I gave him another bottle of milk and hes says that he hid the note near a marker nearby.
I went to the marker and found that a note has appeared there.
I tried this quest later, because I wanted to take my frustration out on the guy who runs.
You can get also get the note by killing him.
Either way give the note to Eastyana in the Hall of Truth and she will give xp, money and a random item.

Message Retrieval
Sulfuric | 1/10/2000 5:00:20 PM

In the hall of truth, go to the top floor there is 2 trainers. The one against the wall has two quests available. tell him you will retrieve the message. then go to west commons by the lake there is a man sitting down by the lake hail him and give him a bottle of milk. turn around and another npc will come running from the inn. he will take the message and you have to kill him and you get a message to give to an NPC named Eestyana Naestra. I am having trouble finding this person. any help would be appreciated

The above comments suggest Duggin would spawn even when Mojax was stationary.

Being that i am an evil inkie of Innoruuk i was wondering around the lake in WC and killing any green npc's that i saw. I stumbled upon a human fisherman that was meditating (the name eludes me) and made short work of him, he dropped 12cp and a note. something about an agent sent in on the shrine of bertuxx. that was discovered and to beware of this freeport-qeynos. what quest is this for?

Mojax Hikspin

You don't actually get the note from killing Mojax, you have to talk to him. Hail him and he'll complain that he can't fish all day because he has to do his job, ask him what his job is and he'll say he's a messenger for Antonius Bayle. Wait a minute or so and he'll get up and drop the note by the marker, you can pick it up from there and kill him afterwards just for fun (be prepared to chase him because he's weak and will run away). I didn't know this at first and killed him several times without talking to him, he never had the note on his corpse. Killing him yields the same faction adjustments as listed above and also raises faction with the Dismal Rage. When I gave the note to Raltur, he didn't give me a spell scroll but it did lead into the Bayle List quest which I haven't completed yet. The traitor quest doesn't come from turning the note to Raltur, for that you have to give the note to Sir Lucan Dlere. You can get the note from Mojax more than once and turn it in to each of them (Raltur and Lucan) to do both quests.

You can solo Mojax at 5th or 6th level, depending on your equipment. Have a HT ready if you're not twinked. He *does* drop the note, but not every time. If Merteuil's method works every time, then it's better unless you just like killing Paladins.

There is often another NPC next to Mojax (Skippyn or something like that) who is one level higher and conned Threatening to my Dark Elf SK. I was able to pull Mojax with arrows several times without Skip aggroing, though.

Faction Changes

I did this quest three times last night. A few things have changed.

First, as a Troll SK you cannot hail Mojax, you must kill him to get the note. He doesn't drop it every time, more like 1-in-3. Second, there is no longer any reward other than faction. Third, the factions have been changed. It's only DismalRage - better, OpalDarkbriar - better, KnightsofTruth - worse.

I don't think Mojax pathing or some other condition determined whether or not he had the note in his loottable. Examining the accounts above, we see the note appears to be like any other loot that can load in the loottable on spawn. All of these players appear to be evil-aligned and talk about killing Mojax outright. They couldn't have successfully given him milk even if they tried, so there was no Duggin spawned to steal the note. Even so, there were times when Mojax didn't have it in his loottable when killed.

Grygus describes pulling Mojax "several times" from his spawn point next to Skipynn suggesting Mojax was not pathing at the time. Rhuobhe specifically notes Mojax meditating when he killed him which indicates that Mojax was stationary at his spawn point when he dropped the note. I think Duggin "stealing" the note is likely just RP flavor.
