Description
- Newcomers
- You smell that funny odor too? Smells like smoke, cheap cologne, and alchemical nonsense. You ask me, I think the Crown Chemical Co. is up to something. Want to help me get to the bottom of it?
- Well, take a look at my pal here. Sure, he looks like a pooch, but this is O.D.I.E.! The Olfactory Detection and Inspection Engine! With this little fella, you and I can sniff out whatever the Crown is plotting from a mile away!
- Are you in? I could use a good partner to solve this.
- Returners
- <Name>! Boy am I glad to see you.
- Listen <name>, we may have gotten rid of the Crown Chemical Co., but I got a bad feeling we haven't seen the last of them.
- Well, take a look at my pal here. Sure, he looks like a pooch, but this is O.D.I.E.! The Olfactory Detection and Inspection Engine! With this little fella, you and I can sniff out whatever the Crown is plotting from a mile away!
- What do you say, partners again?
Rewards
You will receive:
- 55
- 200 XP

Progress
Sure, O.D.I.E. can sniff out the clues, but you still gotta piece 'em together.
Completion
- Newcomers
- Poisonous perfumes? Revenge for kicking 'em out of the city?
- Seems like Apothecary Hummel is cooking up something sinister. This could get ugly.
- Returners
- Poisonous perfumes? Revenge for kicking 'em out of the city?
- Seems like Apothecary Hummel is cooking up something sinister again. But deadly poisons? Sheesh, this could get ugly.
Notes
On approach:
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Oh hi there, pal. You busy? I could use a little assistance with a... sticky situation.
On accept, Snip and O.D.I.E. join the player and will follow them around.
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: O.D.I.E. can sniff out anything, just use that remote control of his!
- O.D.I.E. says: Ark ark!
Try using O.D.I.E.'s Remote Control outside the Trade District:
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: No clues here, pal. Maybe we could try the Trade District?
Try using O.D.I.E.'s Remote Control on the walls, towers or rooftops of the city:
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Let's not use that here, O.D.I.E.'s scared of heights.
Leaving the correct area:
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Wait, it ain't working? Must be the wind over here. Let's head somewhere else!
- Near clue
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Here we go, this looks promising. Let's try out O.D.I.E.'s Remote Control here.
- Activating O.D.I.E.'s Remote Control with a nearby clue
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: We're on the move!
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Aha! Good old O.D.I.E.--I knew he could find us a trail!
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Follow that scent!
- Activating O.D.I.E.'s Remote Control with no nearby clue before you have found all clues in the Trade District
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Everything's on the up and up around here. Let's search somewhere else.
- Activating O.D.I.E.'s Remote Control with all clues were found in the Trade District
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Nothing, not even a whiff. How about we try the Dwarven District next?
- Activating O.D.I.E.'s Remote Control when transformed (Druid shapeshift, Demon hunter Metamorphosis...)
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: You're pretty good at using that device while looking like that!
- Activating O.D.I.E.'s Remote Control when quest complete
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: That device sure is fun to play with, huh? We've got everything we came for and you're still pushing its buttons.
- Picking up [Map of Shadowfang Keep Security]
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: A clue! Huh, they're in Shadowfang Keep?
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: You'da thought they'd have the sense to re-locate by now.
- Picking up
[Discarded Perfume Bottle] - Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Gwah! There must have still been some perfume in that bottle. Nice of ya to pick it up before someone else gets poisoned. That wasn't a clue, but at least we know the Crown's been through here.
- Picking up [Formula: Intoxicating Toxic Perfume]
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Those absent-minded alchemists dropped their formula! Grindin' gadgets <name>, they're gonna try to eliminate us all with their artificial aromas!
- Examining Crown Chemical Co. Supplies
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Yowza, what a stench! Thanks for taking the hit, pal. That wasn't a clue, but at least we know the Crown's been through here.
- Picking up [Memo from Apothecary Hummel]
- Inspector Snip Snagglebolt says: Great find, pal! This should be all the clues we need. Take a closer look at that memo and see what you can figure out.
When O.D.I.E. finds a clue
- O.D.I.E says: Ark, ark!
During the quest, Snip has new gossip for newcomers:
Who are the Crown Chemical Co.?
Never heard of the Crown? You're lucky, pal.
Back before we had this gala, the Crown would come by every year peddling their wares. It was all artificial nonsense--perfumes and colognes that reeked of factory production and corporate greed.
That was before we found out their smells were literally making people sick! Some friends and I did some digging, and we took the fight to their boss, Apothecary Hummel. I thought we got rid of him for good, but it looks like I was wrong.
Not only is he back, but he's not exactly happy about what we did to shut his operation down. We gotta stop whatever it is he's up to!
Let's talk about something else.
Completing this quest also gives [Memo from Apothecary Hummel].
