I have the three priest heads and guildie has Vindi's head he looted for me. He is an Iksar monk. We gonna be able to do the turn-in? I am guessing he is KOS. Any suggestions?

You gotta find a way for the Iksar to get un-KOS and maybe even good enough to get the quest info (I don't remember if he had to be able to prompt for the quest or not).

Your best bet would probably be to have the Iksar kill in Crushbone for a few hours, getting his Faydark Champion's faction up (it's been a really long time, I believe that's the faction he's looking for). Then, see if you can get a level 65 enchanter to illusion him and see if it helps bring up his faction enough.

umm, the turn in is in PoG... there is no way to raise the faction in PoG... i don't know if he'lll be able to do it... sneak might work but there a whole bunch of mobs around the quest giver.

You turn them into the earthmelder that is encricled by a bunch of little elf thing, so there isn't really a way to get behind a mob and sneak probably. So, my guess would be you are out of luck.

Have him invis in, and hand the item to earthmender RIGHT as he FD's.

Dunno if they fixed it, but this used to work for handing in items with indif con to kos mobs. Practice on a trivial kos quest NPC first.

How to do it is not with invis or FD, but with sneak. You can't hand in anything while FD and if you bring invis down to hand-in (required), all the critters there will agro and kill the lizard before you can hand-in and re-invis.

The earthmeldar is surrounded by thiflings, but only on 3 sides; ie. like this:

..L..
t.E.t
ttttt
..D..

You'll want to invis the lizard and have him FD at the 'L'. Get him some phase spider blood for the improved invis. A dropped invis during this would instantly fatal. Many of those are casters and FD probably won't save him. Once he's FD, you need to hail all the critters and make them face you (the 'D'). Then the lizard turns on sneak (you can do it while FD), turns off invis, stands, hands in Derakor head, and FD's again. Now it's your turn. Hand in your heads and voila! Be sure to thank the lizard profusely and maybe have a cleric and necro available that are willing to CR him on a failure -- he's risking a mean death and a rough CR for ya.

BTW, I handed in heads with my halfling under sneak. Indifferent faction is all you need and sneak will do that. Why halfling? Well, the gloves are tradable on my server (I play on FV).

Also, make sure the monk is level 55+.

I tried the Exact same scenario with an Iksar Monk MQ'ing Vindi's head. I have exodus, so what I was cast snare on the Tunarian Earthmelder thus aggroing all the little thiflings and trained them all away. After the Monk reported he successfully handed in the item I hit exodus and ran back to turn in my 3 priest heads. I got nothing. The monk was only level 54. You have to be 55 to do the quest, I was 60. This is the only reason I can think I may have failed.

.. if they have agro. If their target is in melee distance, they won't open a trade window, but I've heard they just plain eat the item if the object of their ire is out of range.

BTW, you had a good idea there on the snare/train. I was just up there for another hand in and hailing won't cut it with the thiflings. They're all positioned such that sneak will not help and they don't respond to hails. You have to train 'em away.

If you try training them off, make sure your monk friend does the hand-in after you clear your agro list (but before those little monster brownies return 8o ).
