Description

The tunnel ahead, headin' west, will take you straight to Chief Prospector Hondo's office. He's the big cheese around here, and Tak'arili's heard tell that he's a darn fine miner. That's why he's gotta die.

There's just one problem: the pathway is completely FILLED with those pesky Nethergarde flunkies. That's why you gotta disguise yourself. Hop inside this box here, and sneak down the pathway. Hopefully you won't draw too much suspicion on your way to da killin'.

    First things first... it looks like we got ourselves a problem. These miners down the pathway to the right have been runnin' around like a chickens without they heads on. My best guess is that they dug too deep and found somethin' nasty... a demon, an elemental, or some kind o' tentacley beast.
