The NPC you're looking for is Schnottz Scout. He's in the same room located around 63,32.
Are you sure? When I saw him he was a normal human that happened to be dead. Also, there is a big ! floating over him...

Description
This unfortunate explorer has clearly suffered a bit of bad luck in the recent past. Prudence dictates that you perform the unenviable task of searching the corpse for clues that might shed light on your surroundings...

Every adventurer worth their salt knows never to step foot in a cave, dungeon, crypt or tomb without an ample supply of rope... right? You can never have too much of this stuff! You resolve to scrounging every scrap of it you can find from the skeletons here.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Be Prepared
Every adventurer worth their salt knows never to step foot in a cave, dungeon, crypt or tomb without an ample supply of rope... right? Well, mine was in that wagon full of explosives that you set off. How about searching around here and seeing if you can't find some.
