Not far from where you discovered the pitons, you come across a man wearing an oversized Ranger’s cloak, closely inspecting an exposed section of arcology ruins. Beside him sits a backpack bursting with supplies from every pouch and pocket. “Oh!” Lunn yells, startled. “I didn’t expect to run into anyone else out and about, what with everyone congregating at the Chimney and all. What a pleasant surprise!”

He beckons you closer. “I know what you’re thinking. Who’s watching over the Northern Outpost if I’m down here in this hole? Well don’t you worry about it,” he says with a wave of his hand. “I’ve been stationed in that dark old forest for years. It practically takes care of itself! Besides, I wasn’t about to sit around while everyone else was off exploring the arcology. Imagine all the Estian gadgets sitting in the dark, collecting dust, just waiting to be found!”

Lunn gestures to his overstuffed pack. “You never know what you’ll need out in the wilderness, let alone in this strange, subterranean maze. Why just a few days ago, a little deeper in, I found a completely flooded passage. Couldn't get through no way no how, but then I remembered the devices I got from Ren Kobo a few years ago—devices that let you breathe underwater! Imagine that! I ran back to the Outpost and dug them out of storage. Got ‘em right here … somewhere …”

Clear Lunn with  to ask him about the devices.
