Description

So the people of Taelloch use chalk on slate to leave messages to each other. So many clues! But what does it all mean....

I'm seeing a pattern, and I think it points to the mines. If the workers haven't already been lost, I'd expect them to be in the mines.

And I know the foreman is the key. She has to be.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Controlled DemolitionThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    I know we've fought skardyn before, champion, but this... this is worse. I knew that skardyn were turning earthen into more skardyn, but I didn't expect... the crystals... the spikes... the roiling blue energy... that smell! Anyway, not what I expected at all.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Buried in StoneThe Ringing Deeps · Level 73-75

    We need to go into the cave, the one mentioned near the last slate. It's not signed, but I think that's the foreman's handwriting... and we've looked everywhere else. We have to investigate.
