Objectives
Investigate Suspicious Permafrost and slay Glacial Tunnelers.
- Glacial Tunneler slain (8)
Description
Merithra needn't worry about me. I'm fine. My son's death... I'm fine.
If you really want to help put my mind at ease, there is something you could do. I suspect Primalists will try to invade these lands again. Unlike last time, I doubt they'll attack the Ancient Bough directly. They know we'd defeat them.
See those rocks over there? Those off-color, slightly smelly rocks? I hear something moving underneath them. Perhaps Primalists are lurking nearby! Could you investigate? Squash whatever you find.
Rewards
You will receive:
- 28 9
- 9,500 XP
Progress
I can hear them skittering around under the rocks. Who'd dare to summon creatures like that so close to the portal?
Completion
I knew there had to be something there. And to think, they were so close to the portal. Now I can contemplate... other things.
While you were hunting, Rymek and I had a lovely conversation. He's quite understanding and sympathetic. In a way, he reminds me of Solethus...
He asked if he could see the portal to the Emerald Dream with his own eyes. I see no reason why not, especially since you've cleared those spiders away. I'm sure he'll be quite impressed.
Notes
On accept:
- Rymek says: I understand that you lost a child. Yet you press on with your duties. I find that commendable.
- Somnikus says: My son... He was very brave and would have wanted me to continue. And so I shall.
- Rymek says: How can I help, my friend?
Interact with Suspicious Permafrosts to uncover Glacial Tunneler spiders. Take out eight.
Return to Somnikus and Rymek. If the objectives of both this quest and [70] Guarded Appreciation are achieved, Gerithus flies in:
- Somnikus says: No, that can only be done from within the Emerald Dream.
- Gerithus says: Greetings. How are things here?
- Rymek says: It has been most rewarding. And Lord Somnikus has graciously offered to let me see the Dream portal for myself!
- Gerithus says: Has he? Well I... suppose...
