Description

Please, {race}! You must help me! I've barely managed to survive, what with naga, sharks, and that horrible monster that attacked our ship. I can see a cave that might be safe, but I don't dare try to make it unless I know there's air inside. Can you make sure it's ok?

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Abyssal RideKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    If you are going to be making it anywhere in this kelp forest, we need to get you a reliable mount. I think I've come up with a better plan than the sea turtle, and it's not far. Tie off a lure at the rope just west of us, and then mount the seahorse that it will attract.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Ain't Too Proud to BegKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    Now that you've brought me to safety, I'm afraid I must impose upon your kindness just a bit further. The captain of our ship, Samir, is still out there. Mack too. I'm sure they made it to the sea floor but beyond that I didn't see what became of them.
