I don't recall this being the case. I thought they went dubious when Paineel released (or in some patch prior to that). Where did you see that?

What city is safe for Erudite Necromancer to be in other than Erudin ?

6/29/99

Having been operating in Neriak and Freeport for about 20 levels, I
decided to make my way back to Odus to check up on my fellow Heretics in
the Toxxulia Forest. Being an Erudite necromancer, this took some doing.
I had to evade numerous guards and other hostile enemies along the way.
Through equal parts caution and luck, however, I finally managed to
reach my place of origin: Erudin. The Erudite guards glowered at me just
as dubiously as they ever did and Toxxulia still looked like a forest
that lay beneath a sea of Mountain Dew. Everything was as I remembered.
I was home.

So it's not lost, this newsgroup post has partial quest text for necro quests in the Toxx necro hut:

4/19/99

>> 5) The tox necro quest given by Gorjhin Sorqez contains the key phrase

>didnt try this one, what exactly does he say?

he says this after doing a Hail:

I tried a "what is the forbidden circle of magic" and "i follow the forbidden
circle of magic", etc., etc.

>probobly broken.... what did Pluxia say to do besides that? just stay there?

after some standard intro text by pluxia with a key phrase I say "i will
perform a small act" and she replies:

So basically I have to bring back the head, just like the Rungupp and poacher
quests, I even tried to give her a poacher head, but she didn't like that.

Japanese site has several of these quests with full dialogue.

Heretics Rungupp quest:

You say, 'hail Marzus Demsion'

Marzus Demsion says 'You have entered the private sanctum of the Heretics. If it is a battle you wish, then do so. If you [study the art of necromancy], then we welcome you.
You say, 'I study the art of necromancy'

Marzus Demsion says 'Continue your studies. Do not be as most and shun the most powerful circle of magic. If you are a skilled at the art then you should be weary of all Erudites within Erudin and if you are an apprectice at the art then I fear those and add [Rungupp] along with it.

You say, 'Who is Rungupp?'

Marzus Demsion says 'Rungupp is a young shaman troll who often can be found blocking passage across the bridge to all young erudites. Rather than exterminate the beast, we use him as a test for our young necromancers. We invite all young Heretics to attempt to [defeat Rungupp].

You say, 'I will defeat Rungupp.'

Marzus Demsion says 'Then go test your strength young necromancer. Defeat Rungupp, chop off his head and return it to me. If this is accomplished I shall reward you. Good luck.

---

Marzus Demsion says 'So you have defeated the troll called Rungupp. You have past the test. We shall resurrect him for another young necromancer. As for you, take this. It was once mine and is now yours. Welcome to the circle of the Heretics.

Your faction standing with Heretics got better
Your faction standing with HighCounvilofErudin got worse
Your faction standing with GateCallers got worse
Your faction standing with Craftkeepers got worse
Your faction standing with CrimsonHands got worse

Mining caps:

You say, 'hail Talrigar Eklorin'

Talrigar Eklorin says 'This is no place for adventures of any sort. You had best leave before your bones join in on my private task. Heed my words, unless of course you are a [practitioner of the black arts].

You say, 'I am a practitioner of the black arts.'

Talrigar Eklorin says 'So you are a fellow necromancer? You have chosen the most powerful circle of magic. You are wise. I seek to employ a young necromancer to [seek out two mining cap's].

---

Talrigar Eklorin says, 'Speed up the digging my pet's!!

a skeleton says 'We will speed up when you return our Mining Cap's. There is falling rocks all over this place!! We could get killed!!

a skeleton says 'We are not your pets!!

Talrigar Eklorin says, 'How many times must I remind you,.. YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD!! I shall find a young apprentice to [seek out the mining caps].

a skeleton says 'Hunhu!! Yeah, sure. Whatever you say.

a skeleton says 'You jest!! Just get us our Mining Caps's and we will work faster.

---

You say, 'I seek out two mining cap's'

Talrigar Eklorin says 'Somewhere within this forest are two Mining Caps. They are nothing more than cloth caps which I used to fake my summoned pet's working within the cave nearby. They were atolen by a couple of kobold scouts. Return these caps to me and I shall reward thee. Maybe even with knowledge of Necromancy.

---

Talrigar Eklorin says 'Good work. I can now silence the continual whining of my skeletons. Here young apprentice, your reward. Ask for nothing more.

Your faction standing with Heretics got better
Your faction standing with HighCouncilofErudin got worse
Your faction standing with GateCallers got worse
Your faction standing with Craftkeepers got worse
Your faction standing with CrimsonHands got worse

Those are the ones that start in Toxx. There are more on that page that start in Erudin, that have complete text, if that's needed.

According to this site, the reward for turning in Darla Starfire's head to Pluxia Vaktus in the hut is ... a torch:

Darla Starfire/torch - female guildmaster (forget her name) in the necro hut. She wants you to kill Darla Starfire, a level 5ish npc who is supplying the hated Kerrans. Your reward for turning in her head is a torch. Another lucrative quest.

The reward given by Marszus Denison for the Rungupp quest (mentioned in the quest text) is apparently a rusty dagger:

This quest takes place in the Tox Forest at the necromancers hut. Talk to Marzius Denison (I think that's his name) on the right side of the hut. He will tell you to go kill Rungupp, a fippy-type NPC who runs around yelling that he will kill all erudites. He's a level 6ish troll shaman. Your reward for turning his head into the guildmaster is a rusty dagger.

Worked on some of this today.

Added some of the missing script details posted above and created the palace couriers/Jonly Smithin. Added guild tunic drop possibility, reward from Pluxia (would be nice to have her hail dialogue and/or reward text for tunics), and faction.

Also I'm not sure when these npcs stopped spawning but I guessed sometime around Paineel launch.

Posting some links here so they don't get lost.

Heretics Rungupp quest:

Already had the Rungupp quest, I think from that same site. Indifferent or better.

Mining caps:

Added interaction between Talrigar and the skeletons.

This npc should be named Donla Starfire. Her name is misspelled all over the place, still trying to get enough info.
