Deepflayers in Deepflayer Nest

Kill 8 Deepflayers.

• Deepflayers slain (8)

Description

Area map

Have you seen these deepflayers before? Well, of course you have! You were almost eaten by one!

They're getting a little too cozy to me and my people's settlement nearby, and need to be dealt with. Inside the cave, outside the cave, they're all over the place! That's why I came here in the first place.

Since I can tell we'll be ramblin' round with each other for a bit, why not give me a hand?

Rewards

You will receive:

• 28 9
• 10x [Flightstones]
• 9,500 XP

Progress

Not bad, uplander! Have you dabbled in monster hunting before this?

Completion

Did you made friends with any of the flayers?

Hah! Just kidding! That was a joke! Please don't try to do that unless you want become some swooper's tasty snack!

Notes

On accept of both:

Elder Honeypelt says: Don't worry, I've got excellent control of my claws. It's my eyesight that has never been good.

Elder Honeypelt says: Don't move a whisker!

An extra action button appears:

Escape Crystals — Brace for a strong strike from Honeypelt.

Use it:

Elder Honeypelt says: There you go, uplander. What say we go find those friends I smell on you?

After escaping (and speaking with Honeypelt again), start killing the deepflayers in the Deepflayer Nest including scavenging slicers and swooping flayers. Don't focus on killing enemies before working on the other quest, though.

Upon wrapping up both quests and exiting the micro-dungeon, Honeypelt has new gossip:

You seem like a rough and tumble sort. I like you. I mean, you smell weird to me! But I still like ya.

As does Wrathion:

I just--Gragh!

Need a moment to--Hnf!

Work through my thoughts! Gyah!

As does Sabellian:

Frustrating as he is, I see some part of my young self in Wrathion.
