Preliminary Dialogue "Did you feel the earth shake, [Name]? I was working my fields when the ground began to quake furiously, sort of like my wife does when I leave my dirty socks on the dining room table.... Suddenly, the dirt around me swelled up and collapsed, leaving a giant crevasse in its place. I thought I heard voices, so I looked inside for survivors. I couldn't make out any faces but swear I saw shapes moving in the dust-filled darkness. I ran as fast as I could. Please, you must go back and investigate this catastrophe!"


 * Accept: "I will investigate this crevasse, farmer."
 * Reject: "I could say something obnoxious here, but instead I'll just say no."

Walkthrough
Head north out of Lion's Arch and move to the quest marker. Click the yellow marker labeled 'Explore the crevasse'. This transports you to Beneath Lion's Arch.

Upon arrival, make your way through the constructs. You encounter a few low level enemies, consisting of level 16 Hellhounds, the Hellhound Keeper and a number of level 12 and 13 Skeleton Monks and Skeleton Sorcerers. Continue north to find Ogden Stonehealer and his dwarves (Point B on map). A cut scene plays, introducing Vekk, the first of many Asura your character will encounter.

You will have 3 minutes to escape through the gate after the cutscene. Follow Ogden Stonehealer and Vekk to the Asura gate.

You are awarded the experience automatically when you reach the gate.

''Note: Even if Ogden and Vekk are killed by the Destroyers, you can still complete the mission.'

Asura Gate now shows as a purple mark on your map (just above Lion's Arch). It will also show up near Kamadan and Kaineng Center. These all teleport you to Boreal Station.
