Quest text

Old Man Pomerenke in the Steppes seems to have misplaced his Sul'Dal to Common dictionary. He remembers loaning it to a dungeon explorer friend named Kalmun that never returned from Kunark. Pomerenke says that the last letter he received from Kalmun mentioned something about a crypt and some strange flashing lights. That's all I've got to go on.

Completion

I was able to track down the remains of Kalmun and find Old Man Pomerenke's Sul'Dal to Common dictionary. This should allow the old man to identify these tomes I've collected.

Stages

Stage 1
I need to try and find this dictionary for Old Man Pomerenke so he can translate the script that is carved into this piece of wood I found in Rollus' belongings.
- I need to find Old Man Pomerenke's dictionary.
  Item: a Sul'Dal to Common dictionary
  Done: I was able to locate the dictionary, I should get this to Pomerenke.
Looks like ol' Kalmun ran into a bit of trouble in the Sathirian city of Sebilis. Good thing his dictionary was still there, even though the Iksar there seared the flesh from his bones.
Stage 2
I should get this dictionary to Old Man Pomerenke in the Thundering Steppes.
- Deliver the book to Old Man Pomerenke.
  Zone: Thundering Steppes
  Done: Dictionary delivered!
I've given the dictionary to Old Man Pomerenke, now to get these tomes identified.
