If the mob Wickbreaker isn't there, just wait < 60 seconds for respawn, you don't get credit until after the full dialogue
Am I supposed to almost die beating this (after dying on my 1st attempt), or am I just really terrible?
Oh good! and he respawns when I don't hand in the quest fast enough! So get to die a second time!

Where to go

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Engineering Destruction
Some of the kobolds are retrofitting equipment left behind when the mines fell. Please, destroy the rigs before they're used against us. I'd rather they be scrap than in the hands of an enemy. There was a storage depot on the western edge of the lowest level of the mine. Start there.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Manifesto Destiny
Before take mines, my people live in great city. Stoneheads call it the Warrens. Candle King's bullies run it now. We need see what we are fighting. Let kobolds know we here to help! Better choices than Candle King. What better way than pamphlets? Everyone love pamphlet! We draw real good!
