Description

It was that darn crab!

Here I thought that all the exercise from walking here was making me super buff! My pack just kept getting lighter and lighter. But no! That crab snipped a hole in my bag and all my parts were falling out the whole way here.

Please, help a good lookin' goblin out, will ya? Go back and help me pick up all of my stray parts. I'm sure those conniving vicious little crabs ran off with some of them too.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Shelled SalvationShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    A lot of the men haven't made it to the cave yet. It's a safe bet that they're stranded at the vents on the ridge above us. We found some spiralung shells on the way here. They don't produce much air, but it was enough for us to make the cave.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Something EdibleShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    Were they trying to starve us all to death?! Not giving prisoners food is just despicable. We need to get these soldiers fed. The best prospect I spotted on the way here were those giant grouper. Several of those and we shouldn't want for meat for a while.
