{{ Standard prerequisites<br />

}}<br />
<br />
===Objectives===<br />
* Keep an eye on the monument while [[Vadben]] gets his tools.<br />
* See Vadben for your reward.<br />
<br />
===Reward===<br />
* 2,000 [[Experience]]<br />

* 15 [[Sunspear Promotion Points]]<br />
<br />
==Walkthrough==<br />
This quest can be hard for low level players in a small group (four or less). Since it is not a [[primary quest]] but optional, wait until you are stronger or have other outposts available such as [[Beknur Harbor]]. Doing this quest from Beknur Harbor is advantageous as you can bring a party of eight from there, and the henchmen are level 12 rendering the challenge safer and simple.<br />
<br />
Make sure to pick up the [[Skale Hunt]] [[bounty]] from outside either Beknur Harbor or [[Champion's Dawn]] for the additional sunspear reputation points.<br />
<br />
The quest tells you to "protect" a monument but there is no "health" bar that degenerates per skale attack nor a countdown timer that tells you when [[Vadben]] will be back. Instead, the quest is about remaining alive after several waves of skales spawn near the monument, starting from a group of level 4 skales up to a group of level 13 and 14 skales. The frequency of each new group of skales is fast, so be sure to finish the waves off quickly before a new one arrives to prevent becoming outnumbered.<br />

==Dialogue==<br />
===Initial dialogue===<br />
;Vadben<br />
:''"Excuse me. Could you do me a favor? I left some of my tools back in my camp, but I can't leave this monument unattended for too long. Some unscrupulous corsair could steal my equipment and research papers, and I can't afford that. Could you keep an eye on this monument for me while I go get the tools? It should only take me a few minutes."''<br />
{{ Offer dialog<br />
| accept = Wow,someone willing to go get their own stuff! I'll totally stay here and take the easy job.<br />
| decline = I'm kind of busy, sorry.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
===Reward dialogue===<br />
;Vadben<br />
:''"Thanks! looks like everything's how I left it. I hope you didn't get too bored."''<br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
*The quest [[Queen of the Quarry]] provides some additional [[Sunspear]] guards that can double the party size and make the defense much easier. [[M.O.X.]] and/or [[Mercenary Hero]]es could also assist as level 20 allies.<br />
* It is possible to talk to [[Vadben]] to accept your reward before all of the enemies in the area are entirely defeated.<br />
