Okay, I think I'm going to start making my way back to the airstrip, too. Of course, I'm moving a little slower with this leg injury. Say, do you think you could get there ahead of me and pass on the good news to Ol' Fizzcrank? I bet anything that there'll be a reward in it for you. Thanks, {name}!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Let Bixie Know
My evil twin's out there somewhere now. I'm pretty sure that she's not back at the airstrip. In fact, wherever she ended up, it's colder there than here. But I could only 'feel' her for a moment. Oh well, I'll reconfigure this thing and port myself back to the airstrip soon enough.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dirty, Stinkin' Snobolds!
Those dirty, stinkin' snobolds... they stole all of my supplies! What's a snobold you ask? It's like a kobold, 'cept they serve the magnataur; kinda take care of them. I know, weird! Anywho, wanna help me out? I know the little creeps stole off with all of my stuff.
