This task was a part of the lead-in events to the Underfoot expansion. It is no longer in the game.
This task began with:
- a concerned citizen (in Paineel at +805, +240, +5 -- directly to the right after zoning in and leaving the tunnel)
- Protector of the Ruins (in the Hole)
- Elanna Noraka (near the Paineel pod)
- Surveyor Lodestone (in Corathus Creep at -190, +180: same general area as Cartographer Slipgear)
The task had a six-hour time limit and an 18-hour lockout timer.
Opening with a concerned citizen:
You say, 'Hail, a concerned citizen'
a concerned citizen says 'It is horrible. Some horrible insect creatures have managed to crawl up from the ruins of Old Paineel. Can you please [destroy] some for me? I will compensate you for your actions.'
You say, 'I will destroy them!'
You have been assigned the task 'They Came From Below'.
a concerned citizen says 'Very good. When you have killed a good amount of them come back to me. I have heard rumors that others are encountering problems. I expect that they will reward you as I will if you prefer to talk to them.'
Opening with the Protector:
You say, 'Hail, Protector of the Ruins '
Protector of the Ruins says 'It is worse than I originally thought. The Guardian of the Seal has [Fallen].'
You say, 'The guardian has fallen?'
Protector of the Ruins says 'Yes. My greatest creation has fallen. Now these invaders have spread out through much of the lower levels of these ruins. Some have even managed to escape into Paineel and Toxxulia. Rumor has even reached me of an incursion in a set of caverns off of Nektulos Forest. I need you to [assist] me and kill some of the invaders.'
You say, 'I will assist you!'
You have been assigned the task 'They Came From Below'.
Opening with Elanna:
You say, 'Hail, Elanna Noraka'
Elanna Noraka says 'I've never seen anything like it, _____. These [invaders] are breaking through Paineel's defenses and are on the march.'
You say, 'Invaders?'
Elanna Noraka says 'I know not what they are, but they appear to have the physiology of a common insect. My colleagues and I have a [plan] that will play on those details, but we'll need your help to put the plan in action.'
You say, 'A plan?'
Elanna Noraka says 'It's simple: Insecticide. We don't know how effective it will be, but the best we can do is amass a large supply. We, however, need the supplies to make it happen. If you could [gather] the [supplies] we need to make the concoction, we'll be greatly appreciative. Or, if you just want to [kill them] directly, if that's your prerogative, that works, too.'
You say, 'I want to kill them'
Elanna Noraka says 'It is by no means a long-term solution, as the insecticide is, but you might be able to thin the ranks enough to distract them. If you're [up for it], let me know.'
You say, 'I'm up for it'
Elanna Noraka says 'Sounds like a plan. Go ahead and kill a few, then get back to me on your progress.'
You have been assigned the task 'They Came From Below'.
Opening with Surveyor Lodestone:
You say, 'Hail, Surveyor Lodestone'
Surveyor Lodestone says 'Blast it all! I was out surveying and these freakish bug men showed up out of nowhere. Now I can't continue my surveys. Hey, you look tough. Maybe you could [do something] about it?'
You say, 'I will do something'
Surveyor Lodestone says 'I'm glad to hear that! Now go out there and kill as many of those things as you can. You'll find them to the Northwest of here.'
You have been assigned the task 'They Came From Below'.

Flavor Text (before the task was available):
You say, 'Hail, Protector of the Ruins'
Protector of the Ruins says 'Oh No. It is horrible. My creation, the Guardian of the Seal has failed. Something has caused a horrible [earthquake] that has broken through the seal from the Underfoot. I came up here to see if I could think of anything different to do to make it stronger. It is much too dangerous to assist the Guardian. I would not ask that of myself, so I will not ask it of anyone. If you can, keep an eye on things. I expect The Guardian can hold his own, but one can never be too careful.'
You say, 'An earthquake?'
Protector of the Ruins says 'I do not know conclusively where it originates since it has been reported over all of Norrath, and even a few of the planes. But the extent of the earthquake causes me to believe it is from the Underfoot itself.' |
