Walk Through

Sergeant Brigitta - 74.3S, 84.6E (Kryst)

Sergeant Brigitta tells you, "Friend, welcome to our lines. I am Sergeant Brigitta, second in command of the defense here. We're managing to keep Kryst safe, but there are things you could do to help us against the Mosswarts."
Sergeant Brigitta tells you, "The Mosswarts are led by a being named Bragara. However, we are not concerned for him so much as we are concerned about the movements of his forces."
Sergeant Brigitta tells you, "Go to the caverns under the Mosswart Holding and bring us the plans for his attack, and we will be better able to stop their advance."
Sergeant Brigitta tells you, "Also, there are shamans who did not agree with Bragara's claim of godhood among the Mosswarts. We have it on good authority that some shamans have been imprisoned in the very same caverns that the plans are located in. While you are in there, please free a shaman. It will help the Mosswarts be able to muster a resistance against Bragara, which will in turn make our jobs easier."

Mosswart Holding - 78.2S, 86.7E

You make a copy of the writing on some spares pieces of paper that are handy.
You shuffle through the notes, and manage to figure out that they're a plan of some sort. However, while the words seem vaguely familiar and close to words you realize, they are just different enough that you can't tell exactly what the author meant. You'll need to get them properly interpreted by someone else, perhaps someone who has some experience with this particular band of Mosswarts.
Pile of Stained Papers gives you Piece of Paper.

Head to MacNiall's Freehold. Give the Piece of Paper to Researcher Tharin, located in the bar at 74.0S, 92.3E.

You give Researcher Tharin Piece of Paper.
Researcher Tharin gives you Piece of Paper.
Researcher Tharin tells you, "Here's a more in-depth translation of what you took, for your own records. I doubt that your Sergeant Brigitta will need any of this information - this is for your own purposes."
From the translation job that Tharin did, however, you do feel like you understand the Mosswart plans better, and are now prepared to report them to Sergeant Brigitta.

You allow Sergeant Brigitta to examine your Piece of Paper.
Sergeant Brigitta tells you, "You don't need to give me the materials. Just inform me what the plans are."

You explain in detail how Researcher Tharin interpreted the Mosswart plans, and then mention the Mosswart shaman you freed and his intentions.
Sergeant Brigitta tells you, "Well done, adventurer! We appreciate what you've done to help protect Kryst from the Mosswart threat."
You've earned 17,206,671 experience. (max first run)

If you want the Blessed Spear of the Mosswart Gods, you must complete another step. Head to the Mosswart Worship Cavern in the Dires swamps.

Mosswart Worship Cavern - 41.1S 48.8W. 80+ cannot be tied/summoned/recalled.

The dungeon is fairly easy to navigate (right hand rule works) and if you are high enough level it can be ran through with little trouble. Head to Ahumba, a mosswart NPC at the end, and speak to him.

Ahumba tells you, "Humie help Mosswart shamans flee Bragara. Humie receive great spear from Mosswart gods as reward. Mosswart debt to humie end here."
Ahumba gives you Blessed Spear of the Mosswart Gods.

If you do not want the spear it can be turned in to Brigitta for some experience.

You give Sergeant Brigitta Blessed Spear of the Mosswart Gods.
Sergeant Brigitta tells you, "I think we can find a soldier to equip this with. Thank you for the contribution."
You've earned 3,441,334 experience. (max first run)

Subsequent Runs

The starting dialog is different, but the rest of the quest and dialog are the same.

Sergeant Brigitta tells you, "Welcome back. We believe that the Mosswarts have devised a new plan, and if you could retrieve the information for us it, and free another shaman along the way as well, that would be very appreciated."

The reward for finishing the main quest caps at 6,882,668 experience. The reward for turning in the spear does not decrease, staying at 3,441,334 experience.
