Description

I overheard your conversation with the Admiral. I know what we're doing sounds insane, but we really don't have much choice. There are people back at that cave that are depending on us.

I've stationed lookouts on various ledges in the immediate area. They're burning ammo fast on the scattered naga scouts. Can you bring them more crossbow bolts to buy us some extra time?

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Clear GoalsShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    I see. The news you bring is grim, but I was not entirely unprepared for such possibilities. Without any effective scouting of naga numbers, I knew our plan was risky, but that's why we established this forward post. Let me put it to you plainly, <class>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Properly InspiredShimmering Expanse · Level 30-35

    Hello! I've been scrambling, scrambling to prepare for the Admiral's assault. He's got high hopes and high plans to blow all kinds of things sky high! ...or water high? That would do. Blowing things high takes EXPLOSIVES! I don't have explosives. It's saddening. Very saddening.
