Dialogue
 * "[Difficulty: Master] Excuse me. Could you do me a favor? I left some of my tools back in my camp, but I can't leave this monument unattended for too long. Some unscrupulous corsair could steal my equipment and research papers, and I can't afford that. Could you keep an eye on this monument for me while I go get the tools? It should only take me a few minutes."

Finish Dialogue
 * "Thanks! looks like everything's how I left it. I hope you didn't get too bored."

Walkthrough
Several groups of Skale will appear close to the group's location and attack. The first groups are level 4 progressing to level 14 at the last group.

Groups:
 * 3 Ridgeback Skale Level 4
 * 3 Ridgeback Skale Level 4
 * 3 Frigid Skale Level 6
 * 3 Frigid Skale Level 6
 * 3 Ridgeback Skale Level 13
 * 2 Frigid Skale Level 14
 * 2 Skale Blighter Level 4

This quest is of master difficulty and quite difficult to complete at low levels without assistance. If you are on the quest Queen of the Quarry, here's a trick. You will be assisted by Captain Vander and two other level 10 paragons for that quest. Make use of them to easily complete this help without the assistance of high level players.

Even better leave this until you have completed the Jokanur Diggings mission so you get access to Beknur Harbor, then come back with an extra 4 Level 12 henchies to take the heat. Using command skill, place them just downhill from where you start the quest. Highly recommended if you are an aspiring survivor: it is easy to get overrun even for a level 12 char in a 4 strong group in this mission.

''Tip: If you are a low level, this quest is actually easier than it seems. Simply pull the groups of Skale to the Sunspear encamped just west of the Resurrection Shrine. If your group dies, you'll simply resurrect next to them and can continue fighting and pulling as necessary.''

This quest appears to be unavailable to higher level characteracters?
