Walkthrough

The first set of three aetherometers are all in plain sight, on the floor:

  • West of circle (X:6.2 Y:9.0 Z:3.3)
  • Northeast of circle (X:7.2 Y:8.5 Z:3.4)
  • South of circle (X:6.7 Y:9.7 Z:3.3)

The second set of three aetherometers are slightly concealed by low walls:

  • Northwest of circle (X:7.4 Y:18.4 Z:3.3)
  • Southeast of circle (X:8.5 Y:19.2 Z:3.3)
  • Northeast of circle (X:8.6 Y:18.1 Z:3.3)

Steps

Journal

  • The dragoon needs someone to collect the aetherometers for her.
  • The dragoon scout is ready to move on to a more detailed analysis, but she requires the three aetherometers she has set up beforehand. Collect the aetherometers and try not to anger any dragons along the way.
  • You have collected the aetherometers without incident. Return them to the scout to see if they measured aught that can be of value.
  • The dragoon seems pleased with the measurements of the aetherometers, and requests that you bring them to Maenne, but not before collecting the remaining aetherometers from the scout to the south. Speak with the dragoon at the southern ruins to see if the aetherometers are available.
  • It seems that scouting is a full-time duty, and the southern scout asks that you collect his three aetherometers, which should have just finished completing their readings. Search the area for the aetherometers and be on the lookout for any hostile dragons.
  • Once again, you collect the aetherometers without incident. Show them to the dragoon scout so that he may confirm that the readings were complete.
  • After inspecting the aetherometers to make sure the readings finished successfully, the dragoon bids you return them to Maenne. Speak with her to see what she intends to do with all the aetherometers.
  • You arrive to the scouting party's encampment to find Maenne hunched over. Apparently she was attacked by a dragon, but she skips the details of the encounter to ask you about the reports from her scouts. Grateful that none under her charge came to harm, she bids you place the aetherometers in the sealed crate next to her.
  • The aetherometers fit in the sealed crate as if they were designed to be put in there. Report the successful completion of this important task to Maenne.
  • Maenne is pleased that the aetheric readings are complete, but she is obviously still shaken from her encounter with the dragon. Once her wounds are healed, mayhap she will be curious as to the nature of the beast that attacked her.

Dialogue

Accepting the Quest

Northern Scouting Party Dragoon: Now that my report has been completed, I can continue with a more detailed survey.
Northern Scouting Party Dragoon: But first, we must collect the three aetherometers set up around the area. I'd hate to impose on you again, adventurer, but could you collect them for me?
(Optional)
Northern Scouting Party Dragoon: I would have you collect the three aetherometers set up in the area. Pray return them to me when you're done.

Reporting to the northern scouting party dragoon

Northern Scouting Party Dragoon: You have my thanks, adventurer... Hmmm... The aetheric measurements seem to be in order.
Northern Scouting Party Dragoon: The scout to the south has completed his readings as well, has he not? On your return, pray collect the aetherometers from him as well.
Northern Scouting Party Dragoon: Once you have collected all the aetherometers, deliver them to Maenne. Pray hurry─an airship should be coming to collect our measurements soon. I shall continue my scouting and return by a different route.
(Optional)
Northern Scouting Party Dragoon: The scout to the south has finished his readings as well, has he not? Pray collect his aetherometers as well on your way back.

Speaking with the southern scouting party dragoon

Southern Scouting Party Dragoon: Ah, it is good to see you again. So, you've come to collect the aetherometers?
Southern Scouting Party Dragoon: Well, the measurements should be complete by now, but I haven't taken the time to make sure yet.
Southern Scouting Party Dragoon: I hate to bother you, but could you collect them for me? I would like to examine them before you bring them to Maenne, so bring them here before departing.
(Optional)
Southern Scouting Party Dragoon: Pray collect the three aetherometers I've set up. Once you've collected them, bring them to me so I may examine them.

Reporting to the southern scouting party dragoon

Southern Scouting Party Dragoon: Hmmm... Yes... These measurements should prove to be satisfactory. Adventurer, please bring these to Maenne along with the aetherometers from the northern scout.

Optional

Southern Scouting Party Dragoon: Bring Maenne all of the aetherometers you've received from us, adventurer.

Scouting Party Dragoon: [Forename], while you were gone, Maenne was...

Speaking with Maenne

Maenne: <pant> [Forename]...you're back... <pant> A dragon caught me unawares, but I'll be fine after some treatment... What news do the scouts report?
Maenne: Thank the Twelve they completed their measurements without incident. This land is proving to be more dangerous than we had anticipated...
Maenne: Ah...the pain, I can scarce stand... [Forename], pray put the aetherometers into that sealed crate over there.
(Optional)
Maenne: [Forename], I can scarce stand; pray put the aetherometers into the sealed crate over there.

Reporting to Maenne

Maenne: You have my thanks, [Forename]. What in the seven hells was that thing...?
