Picking up the quest
Rhyming Rowena: "Boo hoo, the hero is so sad. Their way is blocked, and I am quite glad."

1 You "Can you help me get in there?"


 * Rhyming Rowena: "Giving you a key would be an act of treason, but I might do it if you had a good reason."

2 You: "Stone is eternal..."


 * Rhyming Rowena: "I find music to be a glorious gift, for it often gives my soul a lift. But upon your face I see a look of dread, does some evil tune play inside in your head?"

You: "Yes, and I haven't much time left, Rowena. Please. I need a single vial of colors. Do you know where I can find such a thing?"

Rhyming Rowena: "The answer you seek lies covered in fronds, a pretty rainbow over a pond. Where water sits underground, your specimen is likely to be found."

You: "Hmm, interesting."

Rhyming Rowena: "But not a drop of water will you be able to get, until this particular statue's needs have been met."

You: "What is it that you want, Rowena?"

Rhyming Rowena: "The nameless man who holds your vial would love to speak with me for a while. But his important post he cannot leave, and not hearing my poems causes him to grieve. A letter from Rowena he would certainly love, and I just happen to have such a thing in my glove!"

You: "Go on..."

Rhyming Rowena: "In the Lament there lurks a mob of ugly Skitters, and their nasally cries tend to give me the jitters. If you'd kill them I'd feel ever so much better and then of course I'd give to you my letter. Thirty dead would quite make my day, unless of course you'd like that evil tune in your head to stay."

You: "Okay, okay. I'll go kill Skitters for you, Rowena."

Rhyming Rowena: "Come back soon, don't trip or fall, it often gets lonely in this dreary hall."

Completing the quest
You: "I have defeated Skitters for you Rowena. May I please have the letter now?"

Rhyming Rowena: "The ink upon it is just now dry, and now it's time for me to say good bye."
