Find Brother Kromtash (Dreadlands  • Wanders)

You say, 'What is my next task?'

Brother Kromtash hefts his pack higher on his shoulder, 'There is a mine to the north of here called The Bloodied Quarry. It is a place Kaezul took from the indigenous goblins when he first came into power so many years ago. It is a horrible place where Kaezul sends slaves from all over his empire to work the mines. It is naught to those slaves but a prolonged death sentence. No slave who is sent to the mines will ever see Elael again. They spend the rest of their lives mining Yclistinite..

You say, 'What is Yclistinite?'

Brother Kromtash says, 'The Bloodied Quarry is the sole known source of Yclistinite. Yclistinite was discovered in the Old Empire and used by the great enchanters of Yclist in their imbuement spells. It is a priceless ore that can be used to greatly empower weapons and armor. Kaezul keeps a tight grip on the mines specifically to have a choke hold on the production of Yclistinite. These mines will be the location of your next tasks. Of which there are three.'

You say, 'What is my third task?'

Brother Kromtash says, 'The mines seem to destroy the minds of the slaves overtime. Those we manage to free, usually never really recover. That is why we didn't believe them at first. Reports of creatures popping from the ground, 'stonemites' they called them, and yclist moving around on it's own. It sounds crazy, but we need to confirm if any of it is true. Confirm the existence of as many types of yclist golems, and stonemites as you can. If they do exist, confirm they can be destroyed.'

Your journal has been updated. [Things that go bump in the mines]

 

Journal Text: I have been tasked by Brother Kromtash to journey into The Bloodied Quarry and confirm the existence of as many unique types of golems and stonemites as I can. If the rumors are true, and they do exist, then I am to slay them.

Brother Kromtash says, 'As I said, we've gotten unconfirmed reports of at least five golem like creatures made of yclist, and two kinds of stonemites. You need to confirm this, and confirm they can die.'

Head to The Bloodied Quarry and kill the following mobs to receive the emotes:

• a melded yclistinite golem
• a rich yclistinite golem
• a rough yclistinite golem
• a yclistinite elemental
• a yclistinite elementaling

You have killed a new kind of Yclist Elemental.

Bug!

Killing an irradiated stonemite queen will sometimes not give you the emote, however you will still be able to finish the quest if you return to Brother Kromtash.

• an irradiated stonemite
• an irradiated stonemite queen

You have killed a new kind of Stonemite.

Once you have killed all seven different types of mobs:

This was the last creature in the mines you needed to kill! Return to Brother Kromtash as soon as you can to report in.

Journal Text: That should be enough, time to report back to Brother Kromtash.

Return to Brother Kromtash (Dreadlands  • Wanders)

You say, 'What is my third task?'

Brother Kromtash says, 'They are real then... that is just another reason those mines need to be destroyed one day. Good work, it couldn't have been easy.'

You gain 25,000 experience!!

You have completed a quest. [Things that go bump in the mines]

 

Journal Text: I've proven the creatures in the mines are real, and not just hallucinations of damaged slaves. Kromtash is pleased with my progress.

Once you have completed all three tasks:

You say, 'Hail, Brother Kromtash'

Brother Kromtash says, 'Are you ready for your tasks in the mine?'

You say, 'I have done all you have asked. I deserve answers now.'

Brother Kromtash says, 'Yes I suppose you have. This complicates things. I honestly didn't think you'd live, but considering that you are here on Ikisith, of your own free will, perhaps I should have. I've spoken to the council while you were away. We'll take the risk on you. But by Elael if you harm anyone, I will never rest until you pay.'

Your faction standing with The Slave Rebellion has gotten better!

You say, 'Then I am accepted into the rebellion?'

Brother Kromtash whispers, 'Go up into the mountains, and search as hard as you can. You will find a narrow crevice, that leads to us. I have informed the guards to let you through, but do not push your luck or linger. Our sanctuary awaits.'
