Pearl Honeywine, a social anthropologist in Qeynos Harbor, asked for my help in investigating the reappearance of the roekillik, an ancient race of ratmen. They are apparently unwilling to speak with Pearl but she thinks they might open up to me. The only information she has on them currently is that they are surveying mines around Norrath. This might take me a little bit of time but I know I can find them.
Stage 1
I need to find out about the roekillik.
Start: | Pearl 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 Pearl Honeywine in Qeynos Harbor and tell her what I've learned. |
---|
Complete: | Spoke with Pearl Honeywine. |
---|
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 Pearl Honeywine in Qeynos Harbor and tell her what I've learned. |
---|
Complete: | Spoke with Pearl Honeywine. |

Pearl will confer with her colleagues. The roekillik were hired by the drakota to locate some "rare substances." Pearl Honeywine seemed a bit concerned that the drakota are involved in this. She's taking some time to confer with her colleagues and asked me to check back with her. It sounds as though she's going to need my assistance down the road.
