Objectives
Use the Investigate ability to find clues about what happened in Taelloch.
- Enter the town
- Investigate and inspect clues (6)
- Investigate the call for help
Description
The foreman isn't here. Obviously. But the evidence points to her being here recently. So perhaps she's still nearby!
We should go further into town and see if anyone has any idea where she might be.
Or maybe someone else can give us the answers we need. Maybe we'll find out on our own! Maybe it was some sort of attack or some kind of... sorry. I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's go investigate!
Rewards
You will receive:
- 23 40
- 10,850 XP
Completion
Well... there's one question answered perhaps. Only to unearth a dozen more.
Notes
On accept:
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: If we want answers, we'll just have to look for them.
- Dagran and Magni join the party, following the player around.
Head northeast up the stairs into town:
- Use the "Investigate" ability to find clues.
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: Where are all the people? What happened to everybody?
An extra action button appears:
- Investigate — Search for clues within 80 yards. 2.5 sec cast (8 sec cooldown)
Use it, then follow the glowing orbs to find a Hastily Constructed Barricade blocking off the entrance to a building.:
- You found something! Take a closer look.
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: We should see if any one is in there.
Interact with the barricade to knock on it:
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: Hello? Someone there?
- Magni Bronzebeard says: I doubt it. The entrance is boarded up.
Use the extra action button again to find the next object, an Earthen Slate in the middle of the plaza:
<This slate appears to be a solicitation for workers:
"Strong hands needed for additional shifts!
Overtime approved to make up for recent losses of labor.
Please inquire with Foreman if interested.">
- Magni Bronzebeard says: Fewer workers, it would seem. Is it because the earthen are shutting down?
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: Shutting down... or disappearing or... changing? The answer lies in the clues.
To the south are two Full Mugs:
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: These mugs are still full, and the drinks look fresh, but there's no one around. I think people were here recently.
Up the stairs to the southeast to find an Earthen Hammer on a table full of other tools:
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: A lot of tools are still here. So the workers can't all be out in the mines...
Head north to find another Earthen Slate:
<This earthen slate reads:
"MISSING: Kor Nartklec
LAST SEEN: Night Shift, Mine Site 4"
Underneath this original message are more names written in varying handwriting. The names get smaller as writers try to squeeze more names in at the bottom of the slate.>
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: That's... a lot of names. Everywhere we go, we find the names of people lost.
Finally, head to the northeast corner of the quest area to find another Hastily Constructed Barricade:
- Unknown Voice yells: <muffled growling>
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: Did you hear something, Gran'da?
- Unknown Voice yells: It's changing! It's changing!
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: What was that?
- Magni Bronzebeard yells: It came from that building!
- Taelloch clues
Earthen Slate #1
Two Full Mugs
Earthen Hammer
Another Earthen Slate
Head just southeast to find a larger barricade. Interact with it and Magni and the player attempt to destroy the barricade:
- Magni Bronzebeard says: Enough knocking, <name>. We're breaking this thing down!
- Unknown Voice yells: It's changing... it's changing... Whoever you are, get in here!
- Dagran Thaurissan II says: We have to help them, Gran'da!
A real-time cutscene follows, Magni Defends Dagran:
- Magni and Dagran enter an earthen's home in Tealloch[sic]... and find an abomination!
- We witness the final stage of a corrupted earthen transforming into a monstrous skardyn!
- The commotion triggers an outbreak of skardyn in Taelloch!
Outside, the phase changes, and Taelloch is now full of Unstable Skardyn, Fog Withers, Cursed Miners, and Skardyn Husks.
