Top of the tower
Fear is probably the stupidest ability to give to mobs that you have to fight on top of a tower.
Use your anti-fall toy before you search the nest.

Description
Those lenses are a wondrous integration of technology and arcane artifice. I'm sure we could learn much, and maybe even upgrade my own invention. But first we'll need to find it. You're a dragonrider, right? Can you fly up and recover the lens? It's possible the dreadsqualls still have it in one of their nests.
