Description

We need to go into the cave, the one mentioned near the last slate. It's not signed, but I think that's the foreman's handwriting... and we've looked everywhere else. We have to investigate.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Truth in ChalkThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    So the people of Taelloch use chalk on slate to leave messages to each other. So many clues! But what does it all mean.... I'm seeing a pattern, and I think it points to the mines. If the workers haven't already been lost, I'd expect them to be in the mines. And I know the foreman is the key.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Find the ForemanThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    Dagran was right. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by that any longer. All the signs suggest there's something in this cave. Maybe the foreman is hiding here. Maybe she can give us some answers. We've come this far. Let's see what's inside.
