Mareva D'Iniv, an archaeologist, offered me a chance to earn some prestige in the Overlord's eyes by investigating the reappearance of the roekillik, an ancient race of ratmen. They are apparently infesting some of the mines around Norrath and Mareva was not specific. This might take me a little bit of time but I know I can find them -- and get them to talk.
Stage 1
I need to find out about the roekillik.
Start: | Mareva suggested I find out what the roekillik are surveying in the mines around Norrath. I might start in the Commonlands. |
---|
Complete: | Spoke with roekillik Surveyor Menak. |
---|
Start: | Surveyor Menak suggested I would learn more from a roekillik engineer. |
---|
Complete: | Located and spoke to roekillik Engineer Klaaska. |
---|
Start: | Return to Mareva D'Iniv and tell her what I've learned. |
---|
Complete: | Spoke with Mareva D'Iniv. |
---|
I've learned more about the roekillik's purposes.Stage 2
I need to further investigate what the roekillik are doing in the mines.
Start: | Look for unusual activity in local mines. I may need to travel quite a distance to locate the appropriate mine. |
---|
Complete: | I have located one of their dig sites. |
---|
I've learned still more about the roekillik's return.Stage 3
After observing the dig for a short while, you noticed a flurry of activity -- a drakota arriving and being ushered inside by the roekillik. They must be the "investors."
Start: | I should report back to Mareva D'Iniv and tell her what I've seen. |
---|
Complete: | I've spoken with Mareva. |
---|
Mareva will confer with her colleagues. The roekillik were hired by the drakota to locate some "rare substances." They can't possibly be more vague. Mareva D'Iniv is conferring with some colleagues about this, but once she's got everything in place, I'm sure there will be more for me to do in this investigation. I'll need to check back with her, if for no other reason than to make sure the Overlord doesn't think she got her information all on her own.
