The Chittering Rocks

Investigate Suspicious Permafrost and slay Glacial Tunnelers.

• Glacial Tunneler slain (8)

Merithra needn't worry about me. I'm fine. My son's death... I'm fine.

If you really want to help put my mind at ease, there is something you could do. I suspect Primalists will try to invade these lands again. Unlike last time, I doubt they'll attack the Ancient Bough directly. They know we'd defeat them.

See those rocks over there? Those off-color, slightly smelly rocks? I hear something moving underneath them. Perhaps Primalists are lurking nearby! Could you investigate? Squash whatever you find.

You will receive:

• 9,500 XP

I can hear them skittering around under the rocks. Who'd dare to summon creatures like that so close to the portal?

I knew there had to be something there. And to think, they were so close to the portal. Now I can contemplate... other things.

While you were hunting, Rymek and I had a lovely conversation. He's quite understanding and sympathetic. In a way, he reminds me of Solethus...

He asked if he could see the portal to the Emerald Dream with his own eyes. I see no reason why not, especially since you've cleared those spiders away. I'm sure he'll be quite impressed.
