“Sabotage the Speakers' plans by destroying supplies, freeing spirits, discouraging recruits, and planting confiscated jade tech on guards.
— Heart objective
Disrupt the Speakers' operations in their headquarters is a renown heart in Warden's Folly, The Echovald Wilds. Completion of this heart is part of the optional quest chain for the story instance To Catch a Spider.
Walkthrough[edit]
This heart requires you to speak to Kestrel Floi Grubbeak to receive a disguise (feminine, masculine or non-binary), which applies the 
Disguised and 
Suspicious effects. If you do something suspicious in the sight lines of Speaker Guards or Speaker Wardens, the Suspicious effect will be replaced with the Suspicion Level effect.
You must also monitor the progression of the Suspicion Level effect, as each suspicious action that is seen will add 10 stacks of suspicion per guard that saw it (e.g. freeing a spirit from a Spirit Prison Urn in the eyesight of three guards will give 30 stacks of suspicion, however using it in front of one will only give 10 stacks). Standing in the line of sight of a Speaker Warden will add 10 stacks of suspicion per second. Reaching 100 stacks of suspicion will have you removed from the camp, but you can simply speak to Kestrel Floi Grubbeak to reapply the disguise.
