Description
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. I've been properly inspired to improvise though, and the solution has become apparent. The bulbs on the seaweed hanging from the ruins contain a surprisingly volatile gas. Maybe you might gather some for me? Pretty Please?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Not Entirely Unprepared
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.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Swift Action
We have everything we need to begin the attack. If your claims were correct, you would do well to make sure you cling tight to your mount as we make the attack. Anyone who gets caught in the open water isn't likely to out-swim a naga.
