Description

Ever since we arrived, the Venture Company has hampered our efforts to secure our campsite and survey the area. Normally, we wouldn't care what they were up to, but they've started antagonizing our scouts and shooting down supply flights. We can't allow this insult to stand. Hemet Nesingwary's expedition came here to hunt, and hunt it shall. Go to Swindlegrin's Dig, on the far side of the crystal pillar to the northeast, and kill any Venture Company employee you see!

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Have a Part, Give a PartSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    Great, now that we've got an engine, we're going to need an assortment of other parts to get her back in flying condition. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. A good mechanic can hold his creations together with anything, but we're better off if it doesn't come to that.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wipe That Grin Off His FaceSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    We must send Foreman Swindlegrin packing if we're going to shut down his mine permanently, but be careful. His bodyguard, Meatpie, is a large, mean ogre, and isn't likely to let you see the foreman without a fight.
