Description
It's time to break out the I-Scream Cryocannon! We lifted the tech from the frost cannons on the river boats. If it's one thing that we gnomes are good at, it's miniaturization by way of making everything else that much bigger! I need you to take the cannon down there into the cave and freeze the pipes we setup in the walls. That'll jumpstart them.
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.
- We All Scream for Ice Cream... and then Die!
Don't get me wrong... I'm cheerful on the outside, but inside I'm just terribly torn to pieces. All of my friends and employees are dead. Could you do me a favor? Would you swim down there and attach the tug's tow hook to my dead employees? I'll reel them in.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- That Smart One's Gotta Go
There's some kind of smart brain bug in the back of the cave. It's in charge of all of the silithid down there. My ice cream is melting! How am I supposed to launch my ice cream empire, and save my inventory, if that thing's in there?!
