Walkthrough

Accept the quest from Bram before completing its objectives. Return to the quest giver to advance each stage and claim the final reward. Item objectives require the items in your inventory.

1. The last survey

Bram hears hammer blows when his forge is cold. Retrieve the abandoned survey ledger in the northeast quarry. He will not send another apprentice into the ridge blind.

  • Read the survey ledger in Highstone Quarry · 1 × mine

2. A watch that can hold

The miners woke a quarry golem. Bram wants the watch protected before anyone approaches it: forge a steel helmet and platelegs yourself, then bring them to him.

3. Silence beneath the ridge

The golem follows the ringing of the mine tools. Break its stone heart in the far northern quarry, and Bram can lead the missing miners home.

Choices and endings (spoilers)
  • Seal the abandoned shaft: Bram seals the seam and hangs the ledger above his forge. No apprentice will be forgotten again.
  • Mark the shaft for careful study: Bram draws a new warning on every quarry map. The mountain will be approached with care.
