 is encountered by entering Philgrave's Mansion - either by lock-picking the stone wall, or using the hole in the wall to sneak in. You can also use the secret passphrase that is found in a letter inside the hidden room of the Atelier in the Jannath Estate. Carrion asks the party what they are doing because they do not have an appointment. He explains that he is a spirit medium who works with wealthy clients in the Upper City. Carrion believes the party is too poor to seek his services, but asking "Is there anything I can do for you?" gets his attention. He does indeed have a job - seeking out his lost servant, .
If the party destroyed any of Mystic Carrion's organs before ever meeting him, he will be immediately hostile and the quest cannot be obtained. However the heart can still be obtained and destroyed, though in this case requiring Thrumbo's death.
=== Finding Thrumbo ===
Going upstairs in the mansion, there is an additional floor that a creature warns the party not to go up to, as it's dangerous. However, the party can walk right past him to the next floor. If they are spotted, a creature named Ligus stops the party and state they cannot be on the floor. However, he can be persuaded, deceived, or intimidated into letting the party stay. A locked room in the northwest corner of the floor has a beggar's portrait that contains a note from Thrumbo, indicating they are going to meet by the beach.
* Lumbar is in an alley north of the Basilisk Gate. He reveals the group was planning to escape by boat, so Thrumbo is probably by the water.
* Morbus is in the graveyard north of the Forge of the Nine. He only remembers that Thrumbo told him 'Down the stairs, across the sand.'
* Sacrum is north of Beehive General Goods. He mentions to search for empty abandoned houses, especially the wardrobes.
Thrumbo's location is in a house by the docks that are east of Philgrave's Mansion. He is hiding in a wardrobe in the beach house . Interacting with the wardrobe causes Thrumbo to come out.
Telling Thrumbo that Mystic Carrion is seeking him causes Thrumbo to panic. He tells the party his side of the story if they ask. Thrumbo says that he and his companions were normal beggars until they were killed by Mystic Carrion and unwillingly turned into his undead servants. He believes that Mystic Carrion is a mummy lord and that finding his heart is the key to stopping him. The party can then continue working for Mystic Carrion, or change sides and aid Thrumbo in his liberation from Carrion.
=== Siding with Mystic Carrion ===
Thrumbo can be attacked at any point after finding him. The party needs to kill him and pick up his body, then take it back to Mystic Carrion. Mystic Carrion instantly recognizes the scent of Thrumbo and takes his body. Choosing "Not so fast. First, tell me about the reward you promised." then "Is that the going rate for canopic jars these days? I expected more." opens Carrion up to potential bargaining. Passing the intimidation or persuasion check (DC 20) makes Carrion add in some gold to sweeten the deal.
Alternatively, if the party has travelled to the ancient lair in the Undercity Ruins and found the Funerary Jar Form and Function book, then there will be an option to tell Thrumbo. He will vomit out the heart which now can be collected. Mystic Carrion will accept this, which allows to complete the quest. Passing an intimidation or persuasion check (DC 20) will add in some gold.
If bargained the party's services based on the quest then the party will also receive the . 
Thrumbo will remain in his hiding spot. If informing him that Mystic Carrion has the Jar of Mystic Carrion's Heart, he will run out and quickly disappear.
=== Siding with Thrumbo ===

After destroying the heart, Mystic Carrion can be destroyed permanently. Return to the mansion and face off against him to free Thrumbo and his friends once and for all.
