If you get to the Gyrocopter and are unable to mount it, abandon the quest and re-accept it. When you run out of the tunnel, the Goblins you're with will run out with you and once they mount their Gyrocopters you will be able to mount the one in the middle.

This quest really highlights how much better Gazlowe is as a Goblin in comparison to say Gallywix. If only he were a trade prince...
Indeed. It's interesting that the gnome leader is highlighted to be the unfeeling brute this time, too. I reckon that guy will get on with King Mechagon just fine.

What to do
Description
So Mechagon ain't just a fairy tale? Gotta admit I'm surprised. But, if the tech on that king is any indication of what they've got out there for us to swipe, I am very, very happy to be wrong! We can't rush into this. A good crew died today. That ain't happening again on my watch. Meet me and Skaggit back in Zuldazar Harbor, and we'll build this expedition up right.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- You Must be This Height
You and the Greasemonkeys got this machine up and running even faster than I expected. The gnome we captured is keeping her mouth shut, but that shouldn't be a problem. I can take it from here. Let me know when you're ready. I'll crank up this machine to max and we'll finally see what it can do.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Only the Best Will Do
You heard Gazlowe. The boss wants this expedition to go smoothly. No cutting corners, no slush. I know you've worked with Gallywix in the past. We don't run our operations like that. We expect the best from our crews, so we pay 'em what they're worth and treat 'em well.
