Dialogue
- "One of my precious streets has a giant hole in the middle of it... another hole in the middle of it. This is a tragedy, a travesty, a disaster of epic proportions. What will the populace think? What will the emperor think? I've appropriated imperial funds to fix it, but I need someone to investigate the crack and ensure the street is safe before I hire workers. You never know what might be down there, in the dirt, what with the plague and all. Will you help me? I can use my limitless monetary resources to make it worth your while."

Walkthrough[]
Talk to Raiugyon and learn of the chasm in the street that has opened in the Bukdek Byway. It is located a very short way from the Kaineng Center portal, so just follow the quest marker. Entering the chasm will take you to the Tunnels Below Cantha.
Upon arrival, make your way through the tunnels. You will encounter some various Am Fah, that should be no problem for level 20 characters. Meet up with Ogden Stonehealer and Vekk.
After a short cutscene, you will have 3 minutes to escape through to the gate. Just follow Ogden and Vekk, they will lead you to the Asura gate. You are given the quest reward automatically when you reach the gate.
