Ok, thanks. So I got the shield now. I can only guess that acquiring the shield is the one and only thing that can be done in Aleroth in Ego Draconis. [Unrelated] Damn, I wish I would have patched my game before going so far in it. Flames of Vengeance will no doubt be bugged as well. Besides the Raze fight, some empty loot bags, invisible npc's and a couple missing keys, D2ED was still good. Live and learn.
