I think one of the programmers was feeling a bit evil when he created this...
My level 3 magician asked for a task in Connla and was told to deliver and item to Kimba. Thinking it would be someone in town or at the watch tower across the estuary I ran around a bit to no avail. Eventually, I checked out Allakhazam and found to my horror that she was in Lough Gur and apparantly off the beaten path.
I set off and after carefully dodging lots of aggressive mobs I eventually reached the area she was in. I was looking round for her and trying to reach her quoted location when some mob wacked me for 118 hp and I found myself back in Connla. At that point I let the task expire and took another.
If I get this task again, I'll post the details.
