Description
Gnome technology - two years ago its most common use was as a punch line. Times certainly have changed. Now they've got a new rig built that's better than all our shredder models combined. I need the blueprints, your name!
Unfortunately, the plans are locked away in a safe near Mekgineer Thermaplugg. To make matters worse, the combination to the safe is only known by Mekgineer Thermaplugg.
Do whatever you have to do to get that combination, your name. Then crack open that safe and bring back those blueprints!
In progress
I don't see any blueprints. Did you hide them somewhere on your body or are you just standing around here to irritate me?
Completion
I knew you could do it, your name! Sovik on the other hand, he had his doubts.
<Nogg clears his throat.>
Now that we have the blueprints in our possession, it is only a matter of time before we figure out all of the gnomish innovations that went into the creation of the rig and make them goblin innovations for our new shredder models.
