Gladia, thanks. I had failed to pick up "The June Curse is Alive!" from Sarang Petosiris (Arisen dude at Blackjack's), and of course he doesn't have a quest marker when he is still "red", so my "ride everywhere looking for quest markers" sweep had not picked him up. Once I went up there and clobbered him (I'm level 60 - it wasn't hard...), he went "green" and offered me the quest. Of course, I still need to do the Tka-Rik 3-trials quest before I can complete the whole series and claim my ruby, but that's another story.
And the other story reveals an interesting problem when talking to guild members... I had asked my guild leader about the three trials, and he had confused it with the greatness / etc. trials, saying that the three trials scale with your level. It was a bit disappointing to find that it didn't scale like that. Doing those trials at level 60 meant I was splattering level 46 mobs...
But I got my ruby, and that was good...
