==Walkthrough==
Near the Qharroa Ruins, you will run into Lady Clarisse Laurent. She will tell you that she has been researching these ruins, but that her servant Stibbons has become incapacitated and her camps have been overrun by goblins. She will ask you to help her resolve these problems. 
Your first task will be to retrieve Lady Laurent's alchemical supplies from her camp to the east. The camp is unguarded; you can just head into the big tent and take the supplies. Once you have them, return them to Lady Laurent and she will ask you to escort her to her other camp so that she can revive Stibbons. This camp is north of the road, though there will be hostile Gargoyles and goblins in your way. At the camp, you will see that Stibbons has been turned to stone; speak with Lady Laurent and she will tell you that she was trying to perform some alchemical ritual she discovered here, but that it worked a bit too well and turned Stibbons to stone. She will ask you to look for her notes so that she may return Stibbons to normal. 
The notes are in the crate beside the tent; return them to Lady Laurent and give her a moment to read them, then speak with her again. She will tell you that the goblins took her reagents so she cannot make the antidote at this time. Once she does make the antidote, she wishes to test it on some goblins first, so she will have to find the Yokudan inscriptions detailing how to turn them to stone. Both the reagents and the inscriptions can be found in the area to the west. The reagents will be found on the body of one of the goblins, and the inscriptions are found on stone tablets along the ancient Yokudan arches. 
Once you have found both the reagents and the inscriptions, speak with Lady Laurent. She will ask you to administer the Stoneflesh Potion she has made to the goblins by adding it to their stew. In the meantime, she is going to consult with her guide. The stew can be found to your northeast; add the potion, then head out to meet Lady Laurent and her guide at Hermit's Climb, to the east of your current location and just southwest of Yanurah's Respite. Speak with Mareh the Hermit; you will find that he speaks in riddles. If you speak to Lady Laurent now, she will tell you that Mareh is seeking the answer to the riddles in the notes lying beside him. 
"The hawk watches over sands without effort. But what watches over the hawk?"
"Sword and spell are useless. As it fells man and beast alike, and given time, the mountains themselves."
"A mother gave the first gift to her son, and for the rest of his life did he keep it with him."
The answer to all these riddles is "Air." Tell this to Mareh and he will reveal how to cure the effects of the Stoneflesh Potion; you need the tongue of a gargoyle. Gargoyles can be found throughout the ruins; slay one and Lady Laurent will harvest its tongue. Once you have the tongue, return to the camp where Stibbons was petrified and talk to Lady Laurent there. She has prepared several versions of the antidote and will ask you to test them on the petrified goblins. You will find a great many goblins in the area to your west; pour the antidote on four of them and they will all explode upon being treated. 
After you have tested the four potions, return to Lady Laurent's first camp, the one where you found the alchemy supplies, and speak with her there. She has dragged Stibbons here while you were testing the potion, and will use your results to perfect the potion and cure Stibbons. Once Stibbons is cured, speak with him; he will have no recollection of having been a statue. Speak with Lady Laurent after this to finish the quest.
