Quest Text

Bestowal Dialogue 'The robbers use a group of rowboats to transport the relics to this island. The only other ships they have beyond that are small dinghies, not strong enough to carry the relics from the island. 'If we can strike there, Rantost will be further isolated, and the relics will remain on the island until we want them to move. 'The rowboats are mostly along a small channel that runs through the centre of the island. There may be one or two on the far side, however. Burn them all.' Background The isle of Rantost is where the tomb-robbers have made their central camp. A great deal of history is being kept there. Objective 1 Burn the rowboats (0/4) Rowboats can be found along the coast of Rantost. Wal Simpkins asked you to burn the rowboats around the island. Wal Simpkins: 'Without the boats to get here or remove relics, Rantost will be ripe for the Rangers to pluck.' Burned the rowboats (4/4) Objective 2 Talk to Wal Simpkins on Rantost Wal Simpkins is at a small camp at the south-east corner of Rantost. Wal Simpkins will be pleased to hear the rowboats have been burned. Wal Simpkins: 'Now we know all the relics will stay here on Rantost until we are ready to take them.'
