Objectives

Inspect the Upturned Giant Artifact, the Overdressed Woman Artifact, and the Broken Tablet Artifact.

• Artifact of the Upturned Giant Inspected
• Artifact of the Overdressed Woman Inspected
• Artifact of the Broken Tablet Inspected

Description

We've uncovered some incredible artifacts at this site. It's hard to be convinced that it's all authentic, but there could be serious historical potential.

Unfortunately, when the troggs overan the site, we lost access to three of our most notable finds to date. I'm concerned that the troggs might have stolen them or defiled them in our absence.

If you go into the excavation, find the Upturned Giant, the Overdressed Woman, and the Broken Tablet, and make sure they're still intact.

Rewards

You will receive: 8

Progress

Are all of our artifacts still there? Are they damaged?

Completion

Woo! I'm relieved... I was worried they'd all be destroyed by now. Thank you for checking in on them.

Notes

Head in to the dig.  [Gorick's Stash List] indicates that another stolen explorers' league document is in the excavation. It can be found at ^{[68.1, 66.1]} in a somewhat hidden area. Collect it to start Explorers' League Document (4 of 6).
