Notes

The Sealed Gate

On accept:

Speaker Brinthe says: We'll meet you on the inside!

Skitter says: Good to be free, but attack from front is bad idea...

They walk off.

Head north to the Darkflame Cleft instance line and interact with the Sealed Gate. Once the cast finishes, it knocks the player back 50 yards and The Candle King pops out!

The Candle King says: Think I not see? What YOU do in MY mine?

The Candle King says: Run round. Steal candle. Kill kobold. Bah! Am Candle King!

The Candle King says: Snootsnout! Leave new friends e-le-men-tal present. And close door behind. We not entertain today.

Sootsnout summons Wickbreaker, then follows The Candle King back into the instance, before raising a fiery barrier to block off the instance line.

Fend off the fire elemental and Skitter and Speaker Brinthe walk up:

Skitter says: Candle King is cruel, but very strong. Too strong to attack like this.
