TheWoWDBHarrison looked so happy playing Spiderman on the statues that I didn't have the heart to remind him that I have a flying red drake who could have sped up the process exponentially.

"Stayed Out of Harrison's Way" just made my day
Hey Harrison, how about a pretty little Shield Slam in your pretty little nose?

Description
<Harrison grins.> That's it, {name}. The pieces we need are hidden in these statues! They look to be a bit off balance as is. Maybe just a little nudge... I must say, your field work is coming along nicely. If you applied yourself, you could make a fine archaeologist one day.
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.
- By the Light of the Stars
Look at this, <name>. <Harrison holds up the dead scout's goggles.> I tightened the clamp in the middle and crimped the wires on the edges. They may not be the most comfortable, but they should hold together.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- After the Fall
Aww, that was nothin', really. Those statues were teetering as it was - just needed a little push is all. How about you go and sort through that rubble? I've got a feeling we're close to getting this all sorted out.
