Scarecrow (Sortam)

Three crucified Scarecrows are encountered guarding the pumpkins in the Shadow Cleft. They are actually the corpses of people and will be renamed as such when discovered.

It doesn't matter which order you talk to them in, and you'll have to talk to them all to advance the quest, so start with the one closest to you, in the southeast corner of the field. It's a creepy-looking thing — in fact, it's a corpse! When you activate it the ghost of Sortam will appear. He berates you for interrupting his "vigil", but when you question him he can't quite recall why he's guarding the field in the first place. But whatever devious sorcery took his memories, it seems to be permanent, and you can't help him further right now.

Scarecrow (Lector Erisia)

The next scarecrow is in the northeastern corner of the pumpkin patch. This is the body of an apostle all right, but not the one you're looking for. Lector Erisia is a great deal more coherent than Sortam, but she still has gaps in her memories. She's able to tell you what you may have already suspected: that the Shadow Cleft is part of the Evergloam, the realm of Nocturnal, and the portal's presence represents an attack on the Clockwork City. You need to get the perception tabulator to a Clockwork Apostle before you, too, are transformed into a scarecrow.

Scarecrow (Acolyte Variah)

That leaves the scarecrow on the northwest side. You've found Acolyte Variah, too late. However, when you use your tabulator on her, you'll find that she is all too aware of what is going on. She implores you destroy the shadow array, the very device that lured her into this realm and bound her to a scarecrow. Destroy it, and they will be set free.
