Pinned Down

Pinned Down is a quest for level 1-10 in New Tinkertown. It is step 1 of 37 in the Gnomeregan storyline, the opening step. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 1,750 experience and money.

Description

My name is Nevin Twistwrench and I'm the commander of the Survivor Assistance Facilitation Expedition, or S.A.F.E.

I don't know how you managed to survive the radiation down here, <name>, but most of the others haven't fared so well. My team is rounding up the survivors, but the radiation-addled leper gnomes are too numerous for us to hold back much longer. They've lost their minds!

If you're still strong enough to wield a weapon or cast a spell, would you help us clear out some of these leper gnomes?

    I'm going to start preparing my men to leave this place. We can't hold out here any longer. I want you to move to a forward position in the middle of the large room ahead. You should find Carvo Blastbolt there. He'll give you further instructions. Good luck, <name>, and I'll see you on the surface.
