Also note that as of this version, the flare gun may be prematurely removed from your inventory upon turning in Still Beating Heart. If that happens, just abandon this quest and accept it again to get a new gun.
Worst quest ever, buggie as hell! Summonning the goblins again works most of the time.

Description
Our best demo-man, Ticker, is on assignment with the Gob Squad. He's got WAY more than enough explosives for all the runestones in the ruins. All you have to do is get him there and keep him covered - he'll handle the rest.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Head of the Snake
They taught us at officers camp to always cut off the head of the snake. Seemed dumb considering we never fought any snakes, but I guess it kind of makes sense now. Take your men in there and kill Lord Kassarus.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Handling the Goods
Hey there, buddy. Want to make a quick buck? Bring me back any highborne tablets you find in the ruins.
