[edit] Quest information

[edit] Requirements

• Level 10
• Guild Wars: Eye of the North

[edit] Objectives

• Investigate the fissure in the Plains of Jarin near Kamadan.
• Enter the fissure in the Plains of Jarin.
• Investigate the Depths beneath Istan.

[edit] Reward

• 2,500 Experience
• Vekk joins your party.

[edit] Walkthrough

Go out into the Plains of Jarin and head south. Once you reach the Fissure, click on it to be taken to the Caverns Below Kamadan. Inside you will only be facing low level Corsairs that won't pose much of a threat. At least until you make your way down the hall to meet a curious duo...

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Initial dialogue

Bendah

"Did you feel the earthquake? A giant hole has appeared in the cliffs behind Kamadan! I must inspect this crevasse. Who knows? Corsairs may be using underground tunnels for illegal trafficking. It would be foolhardy for me to go down alone...but you seem the sort who's willing to take on the challenge, am I right? Wait, you've heard that line before?"

Accept: "A hero does what a hero must."

Decline: "I'm scared of caves. And bats."

When asked about quest: "Investigate the fissure on the Plains of Jarin. There could be corsairs down there. Or Spiders!"

[edit] Intermediate dialogue

Crevasse

"Before you is a massive crack leading into the subterranean depths."

Note: Upon accepting the choice to enter the crevasse, players are transported to Caverns Below Kamadan.

[edit] Cutscene dialogue

Ogden Stonehealer

"All right, you lot! Pick up the pace!"

Ogden Stonehealer

"Take all the kegs you can. We're going to need them!"

Ogden Stonehealer

"And find Vekk! We need him to open the gate out of here."

(character name)

"What's going on?"

Ogden Stonehealer

"Where did you come from?"

(character name)

"Are those explosives? There's a city above us."

Ogden Stonehealer

"I know, there's... Hang on. Vekk! There you are!"

Vekk

"We've got trouble, Ogden."

Ogden Stonehealer

"You get the gate working. We'll handle the trouble."

Vekk

"It's not that easy. The Destroyers have completely overrun the Central Transfer Chamber."

Ogden Stonehealer

"Blast! If the chamber is captured, there is no way back."

(character name)

"Wait. The quakes have opened up other passages. There should be another way out."

Vekk

"The bookah's right. There is another gate, not far from here. But the Destroyers are right behind me."

Ogden Stonehealer

"You'd best be coming with us. If we're split up, the Destroyers will eat us alive."

(character name)

"What are these "Destroyers?" For that matter, what are you?"

Vekk

"Me? Right now, I'm your best hope of getting out of here alive, bookah."

Ogden Stonehealer

"We can chat later. We're going to need your help if we're going to reach that gate."

Ogden Stonehealer

"Everyone, ready to move out! There are Destroyers coming!"

Ogden Stonehealer

"Never mind. They're here!"
