Rescue a miner's partner from a collapsing mine. Zone: Alik'r Desert Quest Giver: Samsi af-Bazra Location(s): Badwater Mine Reward: Average Leveled Gold

Enter Badwater Mine

I met a miner named Samsi at the Badwater mine. She tells me that the mine is collapsing and her partner is trapped inside. I told her I would go in and find her partner. If he's dead, she still needs his supply pack.

Quick Walkthrough

1. Talk to Samsi af-Bazra.
2. Find Samsi's partner.
3. Return to Samsi.

Detailed Walkthrough

The unmarked location of Badwater Mine is below the southeast corner of the wall around Sentinel. Outside the mine, Samsi af-Bazra will say that the mine is collapsing, her partner was left behind in there and she daren't go back in, and ask you to go in and rescue her partner Haidar al-Sentinel and, incidentally, his supply pack, which happens to contain any of the comparatively meager handful of gems they managed to find before the mine started to collapse.

When you get to the bottom of the mine, you will meet Haidar al-Sentinel's ghost. He will claim that his death was not due to the falling rock, but by being murdered by Samsi for the gems they had found. He has poured his spirit and his hate into the gems so they are now cursed, and wants you to bring them to Samsi so they will bring her a painful death. You can take his supply pack, and choose whether or not to take the gems to Samsi. (If you take the right conversational choices, he may wonder if the gems were already cursed, and that was what gave Samsi the idea to murder him, and indeed whether that is what's allowed his spirit to linger around them: nevertheless he will not forgive her for the murder.)

If you do take the gems, and give them to Samsi, she will be grateful, reward you, walk away a few paces, then collapse and die.

If you do not take the gems, Haidar's ghost will reincorporate at the entrance and fight you, saying that he cannot bear the thought of you letting Samsi off free. You will have to kill the ghost to escape. You may tell Samsi, or at least hint to her, that you know what happened, and inform her that the gems were cursed and why you haven't brought them out. She will take Haidar's supply pack and walk away... except you will see her again, in the stocks at Kozanset, for reasons that are never explained. She will not be pleased to see you, but there's not a lot she can do about it.

Notes

• Getting hit by falling rocks inflicts a knock down and moderate damage.
• The supply pack will not exist in the mine before starting the quest.

Notes

* Any text displayed in angle brackets (e.g., <Alias=LocationHold>) is dynamically set by the game and will be filled in with the appropriate word(s) when seen in game.

• Not all Journal Entries may appear in your journal; which entries appear and which entries do not depends on the manner in which the quest is done.
• Stages are not always in order of progress. This is usually the case with quests that have multiple possible outcomes or quests where certain tasks may be done in any order. Some stages may therefore repeat objectives seen in other stages.
