The Bugbear Menace: Disrupting the Gemrunners

Level 15 · Adventuring · Three Rivers Village · Thestra

The Stonesmashers to the south have established a gem mine. They plan to use the riches to gain an advantage over Three Rivers Village.

Disrupt the mining operation by killing the Stonesmasher Gemrunners. Return to Guard Cronan when the Stonesmasher mining operation is in disarray. * Stonesmasher Gem Runners \ (6)

Description

"The Stonesmashers to the south of Three Rivers appear to have established a gem mining excavation site within an abandoned dwarven mine. I can only assume the deposits must be rich enough that they plan to gain from this a decisive advantage over us. Times are tough, but we must not let the power of the Stonesmashers grow."
