From reading guides, it appears there should be 2 different versions of 'an iksar slave' and a single 'a crazed iksar slave' in the Droga jail cell. Comments suggest that one of the 'an iksar' slaves responds to keywords, and the other does not (eats items). Does anyone have more information about this step?

Also according to comments this spawngroup should pop/depop after a day elapses. Is this correct?

I saved the Droga part for last because now the rest of this quest is a cakewalk. It just so happens that the "student" that Rinmark was mumbling about is in a cell right here in Droga! Suck down a shrink potion now while you're at a safe spot and drink another invis potion. If you head out of the cell with the broken down door and turn left, you will see a cell across the jail from you. Duck and move in between the bars of that cell. In this cell, you should see some sort of Iksar. If you see "a crazed Iksar," just FD and wait for him to poof. If you see any other sort of Iksar, drop your invis, hail him, and ask him "Are you Veltar?"

If he doesn't respond with "An iksar slave's soiled face shines with a glint of hope. 'You know my name? Who has [sent] you to find me?'", do NOT hand him the key you have just combined. He isn't Veltar, and he will take your key and you will have to do it over again! If he responds as stated, then I'd suggest you finish the conversation with "Master Rinmark sent me." Let him talk some more and ask "Where is the coppernickel key?" He'll rant some more, but you're a step ahead of him. You have the coppernickel key in your hands. Now you can hand him the COMBINED key (make sure it's combined), the Shackle of Copper, and the Shackle of Bronze. He will then give you his Shackle of Steel and all you have to worry about is leaving.

Just completed my Steel Shackle quest with the help of a 56 mage friend. Getting down to the jail in Droga with her was cake thanks to call of the hero [You must be logged in to view images.

The right one is the one that mentions the shackles etc. Other versions will not talk to you when you hail them, fortunately the slaves seem to spontaneously despawn and repop every 10 min or so. I didnt keep track of the exact time sorry.

Will implement the quest as mentioned above. The only remaining information I'd like to have is what faction the 'an iksar slave' should be on.
