You say, 'What are Velium Vapors?'

Frundle Frenkler says, "Ahh, you come seeking my family recipe? After all you've done for our people it's the least I can do. First you must fashion a velium vial, then combine the vial with two small pieces of velium in this jar. That's all there is to it. Please keep the recipe a secret."

You say, "What is a velium vial?"

Frundle Frenkler says "I'm no potter mind you, but if I remember correctly it's a small brick of velium, three crystalline silks, and two glass shards. Then you'll have to finish up by firing it in a kiln with a high quality firing sheet."

Ask Loremaster Borannin "What is brewing?"

Loremaster Borannin says, "Ahh yes, good to see you again Marduk. I wish it were under better circumstances that we meet today. For some time now we have sent teams of our finest rogues to gather intelligence for the Dain. Tanik Greskil is one of our best. He was recently sent into the heart of Kael Drakkel on a very important mission and has not returned. He is now long overdue, and fearing the worst, our wise council has asked me to dispatch a rescue party to determine what has become of him and return him to safety. I have decided to give you this opportunity to build upon the trust you have earned from the council. Will you accept this mission?"

You say, "I will accept this mission."

Loremaster Borannin says, "The council will be pleased to hear of your acceptance, Marduk. Scour the regions surrounding the city of the Giants. Discover what happened to Tanik and, if possible, return him to Thurgadin. If you are successful, remember to hand me your woven shawl. We seem to be running low on them, but I must say Mordin has never had so much help in the kitchen. Anyway, I will eagerly await word of your findings. Good luck, and may Brell protect you."

Now we have to find Tanik. This can be more than a little frustrating. He is hidden somewhere near the entrance to Kael at the top of the ramp. One of the best tricks to use is to charm a snow bunny or summon you bear to assist you. Put your pet on guard, it will face the nearest npc. Using this trick you can narrow down where the triggers are by going in the direction that your pet is facing, telling it to guard again and refining your search. Follow the direction that your pet is facing and click the ground. Eventually the trigger will spawn.

There are 2 triggers here one is Tanik and another is the Kromrif Death Squad which consists of 4 giants. There's no way to tell which is which untill it's triggered. Keep moving fast and if you trigger the Death Squad run for a zoneline and start over.

Once you find him hail him and follow the text.

You say, "Hail, Tanik Greskil"

Tanik Greskil says, "Outlander! Thank Brell you've found me! I am the last surviving member of my unit. Our mission was somehow compromised, the bloody Kromrif knew just where to find us... I can't imagine how they knew. I was barely able to escape with my life and wandered into a trap here. I am badly hurt and need your help."

You say, "I will help you."

Tanik Greskil says, "Quickly, give me a vial of Velium Vapors so I can return home, I am in desperate need of some attention from our clerics."

Give Tanik: Vial of Velium Vapors

Tanik Greskil says "Thank you, Marduk. I shall be eternally grateful to you. Should you ever require my assistance I pledge to you my aid. Please deliver this to Borannin, it is imperative that he deliver this to the Dain at once. Farewell for now outlander...."

You receive: Tanik's Note
