Stage 1
» Find out what's going on at [-2039, 55, -5434] Dialogue: Talk to Malo to continue the dialogue.
 * Malo: Arrighty fellers, let's get this wrapped up now! 'ere's plenty more holes where this one came from!
 * Malo: ...what in...aw no!
 * Malo: The scaffolds are crackin'! Everyone, get offa there, now!!
 * Worker: GwaaAAAAAH!!
 * Malo: Aw, hell... I knew this project was a bust from the start...there goes Willam and Clint cause a' this!
 * Malo: I gotta get someone tough enough to get down there...hm? Hey, a human! Git on over here!
 * Malo: I gotta ask, how much 'a that didja see, Wynn feller? Wasn't pretty, and I'm in charge a' them folks, so I gotta take responsibility fer that.
 * Malo: Th' mayor of Olux there saw these holes poppin' up, and hired us out to cover 'em up. Thing is, the ground's too unstable to build.
 * Malo: It's gettin' real worrying round here. They only started openin' up recently, and there've been quakes too. Feels like the place is gonna collapse!
 * Malo: I think we oughta head down there and figure out what 'n heck's goin' on, and you're the best armed outta any of us, being human 'n all.
 * Malo: Think y'all could head down 'n see if you can rustle up any leads? There's a path down just to the left of the hole.

Stage 2
» Go down the hole and look for what's causing this and return to Malo at [-2039, 55, -5434] with proof.

 * Malo: What in tarnation...? The heck did you find down there, soldier?
 * Malo: Oh, it was just the skin, huh? Dang...was hopin' you'd've seen what it was, cause I got no clue 'bout this.
 * Malo: Urgh. Only gal I know who might have an idea 'bout this is that durn elf lady...
 * Malo: She's got purple hair and's been wanderin' round like she knows everything. Yeah, she's a bright penny but she ain't gotta be so uppity ta all of us 'bout it.
 * Malo: She put up a camp just east of here. She'll prob'ly react better to you than me, so I'll go to the authorities and see if they have any leads.

Stage 3
» Look for Lari and ask what is going on at [-1982, 55, -5462] Dialogue:
 * Lari: ...Haven’t we met? I have witnessed your presence in Gavel more than once.
 * Lari: I am Lari. I might have greeted you properly before if I were not so busy, which reminds me. You have a reason to be here, yes?
 * Lari: Hm...I believe I know what you have found, by your description. That dead skin too, is proof enough, I would say.
 * Lari: The creature which shed that skin is known as a Grootslang. Though large, they are rather peaceful. Gentle giants, I believe the saying is?
 * Lari: This horrid Decay...it affects their habitats underground. They are seeking shelter closer to the surface. I have been trying to scrub the Decay without success...
 * Lari: Wait... More holes appeared just today? There...there were deaths?! W-where, when?!
 * Lari: No, no...! I refuse to be responsible for any more deaths... Human, tell me your name, please.
 * Lari:, then... Let us head to the site. . I need to fix this... Please, help me get to the root of this problem so I may soothe the land's pain.

Stage 4
» Meet up with Lari at [-2037, 55, -5434] Dialogue: Jump into the pit. Continue walking through the tunnel, and avoid the mobs again.
 * Lari: So this is the site... [Gavellian Spell]...
 * Lari: Here. Allow me to provide at least one person safe passage into the pit.
 * Lari: Have faith- Jump in. I will carry you down slowly.
 * Lari: Take the lead. If we can find any further evidence of the Grootslangs around here, it will aid in my understanding.

The wall will break open and a Grootslang will appear, then retreat down the tunnel. A wall will appear and a group of spiders will spawn. Kill the spiders to progress.

 * Lari: Ah...ehm, ? I've... Um, this is...a bit difficult to say, but...
 * Lari: I...do not believe we need to fight, or to kill, here? The creatures are native to here, we are invading their space.
 * Lari: Why should they be attacked for merely existing in their territory? Even if they are animals, I believe that you can solve these problems without killing.
 * Lari: I...understand you may not have the same powers as myself... And I, ah...am not free of guilt, either. But I think you could stand to take a peaceful stance.
 * Lari: Even if I am alone on that front...though I understand you are taught differently where you come from. I do not envy you, though I still thank you for your aid thusfar.
 * Lari: Your methods are...disagreeable, but you still have a sense of right to you, I feel... Well, the tunnel diverges here. We'll need to split apart.
 * Lari: I'll go to the right, so you ought to continue to the left here. I will meet up with you again soon, hopefully.
 * Lari: Take the lead.

 * Lari: Aah! ! Don't...don't make any sudden movements.
 * Lari: This Grootslang is uncharacteristically aggressive... She's scared, being so close to the surface. Stay behind me, please.
 * Lari: AH! [Gavellian Spell]!
 * Lari: Do not approach it! The power of the Wyrm is far too much for you!
 * Lari: W-wait, again? [Gavellian Spell]- Aah, MOVE!
 * Lari: !! You're unharmed, yes? She's scared and in pain!
 * Lari: I have to get it right this time... I'm going to talk her down, stay there!
 * Lari: You must be calm, I beg you. Retreat to the earth- You harm those above!
 * Lari: The earth rotting... I take full responsibility, but does the grass above not rot also?
 * Lari: I wish to soothe your pain, but you must allow me to aid you- You must listen!
 * Lari: What does this violence solve? Be calm, please!
 * Lari:, it won't budge... There's something in its mind rejecting me. Distract it- but don't approach! It will kill you if you get close. Just...be loud!

Stage 6
» Fight the Grootslang with Lari You must survive the Grootslang's attacks for one and a half minutes.

The Grootslang will then trap you and use an eating attack. Dialogue: The Grootslang will then eat Lari as well. Lari will create a ball of light, turning the inside of the Grootslang white and causing you and Lari to fly out of its mouth. Lari will teleport herself and the player close to the surface.

 * Lari: You would wound and consume everything in your rage? Even knowing the consequences?
 * Lari: Your hunger cannot be sated with this fruitless destruction! I beg of you, let them out!

 * Lari: [Gavellian Spell]! [Gavellian Spell]!
 * Lari: LET US OUT! LET US OUT OF HERE! DON'T LET US DIE LIKE THIS! I'M BEGGING YOU, PLEASE!!
 * Lari: ...I...oh no... It's...d-d... I... I j-just... I just w-wanted out... Ohhh...n-no...
 * Lari: ...w-we're...leaving. I...I c-can't look at this any more...
 * Lari: ...I... That's...m-my fault...
 * Lari: I'm...I'm so sorry, . If I'd...I don't... I don't even know what else I could have d-done...
 * Lari: There...it didn’t feel like there was...anything left to it... But, if I’d just been quicker, then... Would it...would it even have made a difference?
 * Lari: ...some savior I am... I need to be better, but what else even is there that...ugh, I'm going in circles...
 * Lari: Let's... Let's just leave...


 * Lari: ...I...I can't believe this. This is...does destiny just hate me? What have I done to deserve this?!
 * Lari: The Mother Wyrm laid eggs... Eggs infested with parasites! Every single one is going to be born berserk!!
 * Lari: You saw how strong the mother was...an infestation like this could cause the entire region of Gavel to collapse in a quake...
 * Lari: They...they need to be stopped, but...I can't do it. I c-can't kill... I'm sorry, I just can't!
 * Lari: Bring a group... Even Whelps can be a terror if they're enraged. Just...p-please, take care of this quickly.
 * Lari: You deserve the best... But that's more than I can give...so here. Take these. I'll move along.

Trivia

 * This quest replaced the old The Worm Holes quest in the 1.20 Gavel Reborn update.
 * The Gavellian spells that Lari uses throughout the quest translate to "Siochain do d'anamacha i mait...", "Cosain!", "Co-cosa-", and "Beathach mor solais! Dean ion an anam tuirseach seo!".
