What to do
Description
Ever since you opened the way from Oribos, certain cartels have taken the opportunity to come after me and my work in a rather... lethal fashion. They know how important my research is to everything. More assassins are sure to follow, what with you blazing a clear path right to me! I cannot get them all. You need to fix this and help protect my secrets. Take care of them for me.
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.
- Security Measures
It seems the hidden traps I placed around the grotto are not as effective as I would like, considering your presence in my home. However, they are still useful in preventing the majority of unwanted attention. Since you so kindly brought assassins to me, I cannot reset the traps myself.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Now You May Speak
You truly brought me an oracle! Intact even! I have never known these divine beings to speak to anyone but automa. There is so much we could learn from her about Zereth Mortis. You must tell me everything!
