You can obtain this task from Diojb Waksom in Paludal Depths. He is located at /waypoint -1317, -1141, -176 in the far eastern part of the zone. He is on the find tool CTRL F.

You say, 'Hail, Diojb Waksom'

Diojb Waksom gives you a nod as you approach him. 'Hail and well met, adventurer. You are brave to remain in these caves as we have. Tell me, are you here for [adventurin]' reasons or for [rescuin]' reasons?'

You say, 'Are you in need of rescuing?'

Diojb Waksom lifts and adjusts his belt, 'No, we will not be in need of rescuin'. At one time we were, but that time has since passed. I will have to warn you however, rescuin' in these parts can get you in a load of trouble with the recondite bandits that roam these caves. Our camp was well out of their way for the most part, but they have gotten desperate since they have ousted their old leader, Maricella Slithra. A new bandit has emerged as a leader and they call her "[Bellweather]." She has been calling the shots as of late.'

You say, 'What can you tell me about this Bellweather?'

Diojb Waksom winces a bit as you mention her name. 'Aye, Bellweather.' he says with a spit of venom to his voice. 'She has been doing that thing that new leaders try to do. You know the thing.' Diojb pauses to think of the next words carefully. 'Tries too hard. Is aiming to impress and needs to prove herself to the rest of the bandits if she is to be taken seriously. Her [scheme] needs to be stopped.'

You say, 'What is her scheme?'

Diojb Waksom's brow furrows. This is something that has been bothering him for a while now. 'Aye, she has laid a trap for unsuspecting adventurers over at Overslo's Grave.' Diojb looks around for a moment before continuing. 'That's why Noppta and I are stuck in here in this dank corner of the caves. The families of the other miners are looking for them. Some of the families have already received their loved one's badges, while others grow more [desperate] by the day.'

You say, 'How desperate are they getting?'

Diojb Waksom says, 'The loved ones of the miners who used to work in these mines have been sending unsuspecting [adventurers] right into Bellweather's arms. She has her bandits snatch up the unknowing adventurers and then get their family to pay a ransom for their return. I have to admit though, it's a solid scam, but one that cannot continue anymore. The problem here is that the scam is working and she is making a lot of money from the ransoms.'

You say, 'I assume these adventurers will need help?'

Diojb Waksom says, 'Currently, they do not have any in custody, though they are still trying. I'm hoping to prevent that. Before we can help the grieving families, we have to get them to stop sending unsuspecting adventurers to be captured. Before we can do that, we need to resolve this Bellweather situation. I need you to find her in these caves and try to convince her to end this scam. Can you do [that] for us?'

You say, 'I can do that.'

You have been assigned the task 'The New Sheriffs in Town'.

Diojb Waksom says, 'You will have to do that adventuring thing that you do in order to find her. She will most likely be with her bandits at their camps. Good luck finding them without being killed, or captured first. When you see her, tell her I sent you and see how her reaction changes. It should be a fun moment.'



Diojb Waksom has become the de facto leader of what is left of the miners in the Paludal Depths. The miner's work ended after a cave-in took the lives of their leader. The recondite bandits who were using the caverns as a safe haven have also been under the new leadership of one name "Bellweather." The bandits have come up with a scam for exploiting novice adventurers for ransom money. Djojb wants the skulduggery to stop before he and Noppta egress the mines.

  • 1. Speak with Bellweather 0/1 Paludal Depths

    Bellweather is not far from the Ruins of Shadow Haven zone line at /waypoint -1647, 852, -245. She is on the find tool CTRL F.

    You say, 'Hail, Bellweather'

    Bellweather glares as you approach, 'Listen, I got a lot of problems trying to whip these bandits into something useful. It's bad enough Marciella keeps showing up at my camps, trying to convince others to join her cause. She still has some sympathizers who will listen. It is why I have to keep my distance at times, I don't know who is still on her side or not. Being seen speaking with you will cause more issues than you will understand.'

    You say, 'Diojb sent me'

    Your task 'The New Sheriffs in Town' has been updated.

    Bellweather's eyes go wide for a moment before clearing her throat. 'Well, of course that sod will have sent one of your kind here to talk with me.' She picks at the dirt under her fingernails as she continues. 'Me and the gang have been making a lot of money as of late and he wants to put the kibosh to that? I'd like to see his proposal. Tell him that I'm interested in what he has to say, but money talks louder than words. He had better make it worth our while. Tell him that I'm willing to parlay.'


  • 2. Speak with Diojb 0/1 Paludal Depths

    Quest Text: Bellweather appears to have some connection with Diojb already. She has asked you to return to him to tell him that she wishes to "parlay."

    You say, 'Hail, Diojb Waksom'

    Diojb Waksom says, 'I wish there was more we could have done for the miners who lost their lives here. Personally, I don't want my final resting place to be where I did grueling work, but that's dwarves for ya. Ain't happy unless we are surrounded by dirt.'

    You say, 'Bellweather wishes to parlay'

    Your task 'The New Sheriffs in Town' has been updated.

    Diojb Waksom frowns and nods as you tell him that Bellweather wants to parlay. 'Ok, well, she's open to listening to reason, I'll take what I can get at this moment. She must want something other than money?' He takes a moment to think before reluctantly answering himself. 'Respect? I'm sure as a new leader to the bandits she will need to prove herself without looking soft. I'm going to need some time to come up with a plan. In the meantime, go back and speak with her about what options we might have. She should have told you this sooner, but it seems she's still getting the hang of this 'leadership' thing.'


  • 3. Speak with Bellweather 0/1 Paludal Depths

    Quest Text: Diojb needs more time to come up with a plan in order to help Bellweather gain favor in the eyes of the recondite bandits. He asked you to return to Bellweather and see what else she wants in lieu of the ransom money they have been collecting.

    You say, 'Hail, Bellweather'

    Your task 'The New Sheriffs in Town' has been updated.

    Bellweather looks impressed that you returned to her. 'I'm impressed you returned to me. Truth be told I thought you were already dead.' She snorts loudly and spits to her side. 'Tell you what, I have a bit of a problem with some of my gang not falling in line. If that do-gooder, Diojb wants us to change our ways, he can help me get these sods in line. I'll stop snatching up novice adventurers if he can pull that off for me.'


  • 4. Speak with Diojb 0/1 Paludal Depths

    Quest Text: Return to Diojb and let him know that he was correct about Bellweather's need for a claim to leadership.

    You say, 'Hail, Diojb Waksom'

    You have been given: Diojb's Requisition

    Your task 'The New Sheriffs in Town' has been updated.

    Diojb Waksom claps his hands with glee and pumps his fist in the air before exclaiming, 'Yes! I was right! So I have a plan and its going to need some execution, luckily that is where you come in. First things first is that we need some object to prove her status.' He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a sealed envelope. He stares at it with a sad look in his eyes before continuing. 'Take this to the weapons master, Wygans. He can be found in Shar Vahl. He will know what it is. After that, show her you mean business by dispatching some of her bandits before delivering it.'

    You are given: Diojb's Requisition


  • 5. Deliver the requisition to Weapons Master Wygans 0/1 Shar Vahl, Divided

    Quest Text: Deliver Diojb's requisition to the weapons master, Wygans in Shar Vahl.

    Weapons Master Wygans is located in Shar Vahl, Divided down in the arena tunnels at /waypoint -35, -630, -212. He is on the find tool CTRL F. Give him Diojb's Requisition.

    You offered 1 Diojb's Requisition to Weapons Master Wygans.
    You have been given: Diojb's Comission
    Your task 'The New Sheriffs in Town' has been updated.

    Weapons Master Wygans opens the envelope with a smile and a flourish. 'Well met friend! What do we have here?' he cheerfully asks. His smile fades as he reads the note. 'Oh, this is unfortunate. Diojb had commissioned a pickax in honor of Overslo. He was having me hold it until his return, but he wants you to have it. Here adventurer, I'm not sure what you need it for, but do be careful. It's more for show than it is for work.'

    You complete the trade with Weapons Master Wygans.


  • 6. Remind the bandits who is in charge 0/6 Paludal Depths

    Quest Text: Diojb has asked you to dispatch a few of the bandits before returning to Bellweather. This will help seal the fact that he isn't afraid to have dirty work done to prove his point. This will also scare the rest of the bandits to fall in line.



  • 7. Give the commission to Bellweather 0/1 Paludal Depths

    Give Diojb's Commission to Bellweather in Paludal Depths.


  • 8. Deliver the assurance to Diojb 0/1 Paludal Depths

    Not a reward. It's a hand in for Step 7.

    It is not a collectible either, but it is No Ground.
