Look to the Stars

My Gnomish friend, Cog, has promised to help me build a device which will let me peer towards the stars. A truth exists, beyond magic, that can explain the strange transformation in the forest. Bring to me a bronze tube made by a skilled engineer. That is the first step, according to Cog's blueprint.

This is perfect, <name>. The first step is complete!

According to Cog's blueprint, what I need now is a way to reflect light. I remember a woman by the name of Mary who became well known around these parts for always carrying a looking glass. Perhaps you can track Mary down and see if she might lend us a reflective surface for this project? I believe she once resided in southern Duskwood. . .

Why yes, I used to own a looking glass.

The looking glass was one of my finest treasures until. . .the incident. After that happened, I discarded it behind the barn. There was an Insane Ghoul who used to roam back there. Perhaps he picked it up. Rumor has it the devilish beast resides in the Tranquil Gardens Cemetery.

Most superb! This will work perfectly. Many thanks!

Now there is just one more item needed to complete this device. Cog's blueprint calls for a lens of some sort. The only lens I know of that would be large enough will be very difficult to acquire. There is an ogre by the name of Zzarc'Vul who resides in the mound in southern Duskwood. If you can, bring to me his monocle and I will use that as our lens!

At last! The stargazing device is complete! Thank you, <name>. Now I can continue my research. . .
