    The vermin infesting these tunnels threaten our scarce provisions. If you want to help our revolt, start by clearing the tunnel beyond of rats and bats.

    Destroy 4 Vermin Nests 0/4 (The Mines of Gloomingdeep)

    The rats and bats start appearing just down the tunnel, and they'll be plentiful in the next two rooms, the Gloomfang Lair not included. The Gloomfang Lair is easy to spot by the spider webbing hanging by the entrance.

    While hunting rats, keep a good eye out for a white named rat called Rufus. He pops in random locations anywhere that rats and bats does and he will occasionally drop some good stuff.

    Kill 8 Cave Rats and 4 Cave Bats - you'll come across little piles of rock here and there - more specifically at loc -391.49, -327.46, -37.32 and loc -457.80, -392.40, -39.04, at loc -525.51, -341.15, -39.35 and -587.16, -418.26, -39.91.

Take this kobold charm. It will increase in power as you talk to the rest of the members of the revolt. May it bring you good luck, ______.'

    You receive a Kobold Skull Charm.

    You say, 'What others?'

    Vahlara says 'These few here. They were injured when the revolt broke out. I'm trying to help, but we have a short supply of [bandages], and more wounded keep coming. I fear many will not survive the hour.'

    You say, 'What bandages?'

    Vahlara says 'I was a skilled tailor before I was enslaved, so I'm able to weave spider silk into makeshift gauzes and dressings. But now even the spiderling silk is running scarce. If you can find three pieces of spiderling silk, bring them to me unstacked, and I'll give you some armor I've crafted from burlap. Burlap's no good for bandages anyway.'

    He offers two tasks, one of which is "Rebellion Reloaded".

Venture into the tunnels beyond and bring me one more arrow, it might just save my life. The kobolds typically leave extras ammunition in the barrels throughout the mines. Break a few of them open and you'll likely find some arrows we can use.'

    (Hint: To open the barrels you can destroy and then loot the arrows from the wreckage.)

    Deliver 1 Class 1 Wood Point Arrow to Guard Rahtiz 0/1 (The Mines of Gloomingdeep)

    You have been assigned the task 'Spider Caves'.

    Vahlara needs as much Gloomingdeep silk as she can get her hands on. She's in special need of Gloomingdeep cocoon silk which has a thicker weave yet remains supple enough to make bandages."

    Sneak into the kobolds' spider hatchery to the south and harvest some Gloomingdeep cocoon silk from the spiderling cocoons.

    Gather 4 pieces of spiderling cocoon silk 0/4 (The Mines of Gloomingdeep)

    (Hint: Even though the cocoon clusters are objects and not NPCs, you can still attack, destroy and loot them normally)

    Head down the tunnel, past the first rat room. You want to head into the room to the south, named Gloomfang Lair on your map; it has a big yellowish spider webbing in front of it. You probably want to do this quest along with the 'Arachnida' quest, as they will be many spiders in your way. You can evade them, though, and get the silk safely enough if you're careful.

    The first cocoon can be found at loc -722.55, -455.75, -36.73. Select it and type /open to loot and destroy it.

    There are more at the following locations:

    1112.68, -510.56, -11.00
    -891.06, -628.08, -32.36


    Deliver the silk pieces to Vahlara in the slave revolt camp 0/4 (The Mines of Gloomingdeep)

    Once you have 4 Gloomingdeep Cocoon Silk, give them all unstacked to Vahlara, at loc -80.48, -49.94, +16.10, to claim your reward.

    Your task 'Spider Caves' has been updated.


    'Just in time,' Vahlara bows as you return. 'Many are wounded and more arrive by the hour. If you can find any Gloomingdeep silk, bring it to me and I can reward you with more burlap clothing. It's not much, but it's nicer than the rags these kobolds left us with.'

    You gain experience!!
