Intro
The Speed Runner achievement requires you to finish The Oak Shield's Demand mission in under 90 seconds. The mission is found in the Dawnstone Meadow area. This guide is to help those that are looking for the Speed Runner achievement. I'm sure there are faster ways to do it, but this is how I got it done.

In general, you probably need to take down all 3 cysts in 2 turns and avoid spells and skills with animations. The 3 cysts have 1 armor and 6 hit points, so I used piercing weapons and skills to take them out.

This guide assumes Easy difficulty.

Here are the gear and skills used for the run.
