Detailed Walkthrough

You'll accept the quest from Rahannal on the northern outskirts of the mine or from Snaruga at a camp in the northern section of the camp.



Regardless of how you started the quest, you should ask Snaruga some questions.
:"By Mauloch's sulfurous hatred! And here I thought that traitor and bandit was our only hope … where's Rahannal, that bastard? Left me here to rot. I'll rot him!"
:Who's Rahannal?
:"My best friend and occasional partner, when he's not trying to pull the wool over my eyes, that is. Now, the key to these shackles is kept in their surveyor's tent on the hillside across from us. Free me, so I can kill Rahannal!"
:Why do you want to kill Rahannal? Sounds like you're friends. / Why do you want to kill Rahannal? I thought you were friends.
:"Friends? Friends? He's a liar, a thief, and a cheat! What kind of friend is that? I may be a bandit, but I've got standards, unlike that desert low-life!"''

Head up the hill south from Snaruga's location and enter the large Imperial tent. You'll find the   within the Imperial Lockbox in the left corner of the tent. Head down the hill north and unlock Snaruga's shackles. Snaruga heads off to find a weapon while you catch up with Rahannal, who is crouching You can find by the southeastern mining tunnel. He will elaborate on his relationship with Snaruga and tell you what you need to do next.

:"Keep low, and remain vigilant. The Imperials are thieves without honor."
:'''Snaruga's free.
:"Morwha's blessed bosom! Loath as I am to send you from one danger to the next …. The Seventh Legion's captives in the mine need your deft aid too, if you're willing to go on."
:Will the key that I used to free Snaruga work for them too?
:"It will, but to prevent you from freeing every miner within, I suggest that you seek out one captive in particular. He used to run this mine, before they took it from him. They still allow him freedom of the camp unlike the others, however!"
:He's working with them?
:"Foreman Connor is not helping them, he helps the miners! Without his knowledgeable eye, the central chamber would collapse on top of the conscripts while they work! This was his mine, and the Legion took it from him. I assure you, he's no Imperial puppet."
:What will you be doing?
:"I will seek the man who runs this accursed camp, Panthius Varro. He and his men are concentrated on the other side of the encampment beyond the palisade wall, by the barred gate. Should you need me, look for me there after you give Foreman Connor the key."
:I will look for the conscripted foreman, then.'''

Head into the nearby tunnel with Snaruga and find Foreman Connor. He's in the mine's central chamber, which is accessible by heading south through the tunnels. He's distrustful of you at first.
:"Huh, who are you?"
:'''I'm here to help, I have the key to the manacles.
:"Is this another test? I'm not trying to escape, I told you! I am not leaving this mine. Nobody else knows how to reinforce versus structural collapse!"

:"Trust? Panthius Varro's damned games have torn all trust from us! If you're here to dupe me, then just get on with it and dupe me. I'd rather be chained out in the sun than suffer the indignation of being played with like a puppy."
:Here's the key, can I count on you to free the miners?
:"Oh, you can believe that I will. If this is part of some scheme, it's not a very good one. Only one thing would turn this mine over more quickly than just striking the chains from these miners, after what's been done to them."
:And what would that be?
:"Well, if you're truthfully with Panthius Varro then I've already said enough to seal my fate. Look for a chamber on the far side of the mine. There you'll find a massive stockpile of coal, which is a tempting target for sabotage. If one was so inclined."
:I will look for it.'''

Head through the western tunnels and blow up the coal stores to cause a distraction. Overseer Severus will run up to the burning cart, shout at everybody to move, and die in the ensuing explosion. Suddenly, Snaruga hears a noise outside and runs up through the northern passage to see if Rahannal's okay. You'll find Snaruga tending to an injured Rahannal at the mouth of the tunnel.
:''"Came out here to find lazy bones dying on the job! I'm not having it. No one kills him but me!"
:Is Rahannal all right?
:"He'll do. Go kill Panthius Varro!  I'll get Rahannal to our friends before he bleeds out."
:Where's Panthius Varro now?
:"Rahannal said he's on the hill looking out toward the desert. I'd go with you, but someone has to carry this big baby to safety. Good luck."''

Head around the rock formation to the northeast and climb the hill behind it, up towards the natural rocky arch. You'll find Panthius Varro in a large Imperial-style tent on the cliff. Kill him. Once the commander is dead, jump down the short ledge and head northwest to find your allies. Speak with Snaruga to receive a reward for helping the conscripts at Onsi's Breath.
:''"You're back! I told Rahannal not to worry about you. Unlike some people I could name, you can handle yourself in a pinch."
:Panthius Varro is dead. What'll happen now?
:"I had no doubts you'd triumph. This may not be a stronghold, but there are people who need me. We'll fight back until the Imperials are beaten, or we die in glorious battle!"
