DescriptionThe dwarves are building a new underground rail link between their city of Keldagrim and the cave goblins' Dorgesh-Kaan, but work is being held up by the discovery of ancient goblin artefacts, and they need the help of a qualified archaeologist. Helping them out should be simple enough - unless you stumble upon another H.A.M. plot against the city.

On death, all unprotected items will be moved to a grave outside the instance. Any items left on the ground will be lost.

  • Run south to the ladder, stay behind the houses on the west side to not get hit.
  • Climb up and kill the H.A.M. Mage and H.A.M. Archer, you must use magic or ranged. Throwing darts can work, only if you use the "long range" combat style. If you forgot a magic or ranged weapon, a crossbow and 50 bronze bolts spawns just to the west of your character upstairs.
  • Talk to General Wartface or General Bentnoze to receive ancient mace and two goblin warriors
