Objectives

Use the Delicate Chain Smasher to release 6 Quartz Rocklings.

• Quartz Rocklings released x6

Provided item:  [Delicate Chain Smasher]

Description

The Twilight Cultists are taking my rocklings among them. They drain and torture them. Strip them of the very essence that animates them from the stone.

Please, <race>, free my rocklings. Neither Diamant nor I have the delicacy to smash their chains without hurting them as well. But we do have a tool you might use.

Use this. Break their chains and set them free.

Progress

It's unbearable to watch. They know no mercy. They should be offered none.

Completion

You are a generous <race>. You give back to the earth that offers you so much. You have my respect. You shall surely have the respect of the Stone Lords with time.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 8 60
• 43900 XP
• 7000 reputation with Therazane

Notes

• Pick up Hatred Runs Deep and Unsolid Ground before heading out. While killing cultists, there are neutral mini-giants all over the camp. Use the Delicate Chain Smasher on them to free them.
• Upon being freed, the rocklings offer the following emotes:

The rockling looks up at you questioningly.

The rockling scampers into the distance, excited by its newfound freedom.

The rockling thuds happily upon the ground.

The rockling rumbles in appreciation.

The rockling looks confused for a moment before running off.

The rockling clatters its crystals together in thanks.

The rockling offers a great gravelly sigh of appreciation.

You hear a loud crackling noise as the rockling tries to smile.
