'The instrument you've found will undoubtedly serve you well on your ventures, for you are a great minstrel, and such a tool well befits you. There is nothing better than a tune played from the heart on a piece such as this, but we are still missing a key thing: written music!

'There is a deep-claw in the Redhorn Lodes, Snapjaw, that is known to hoard papers and scraps of text to make nests for its foul broods. I believe that if you go there and slay that beast, you will find the very sheet we seek.

'Snapjaw was last seen just south and west of the bridge that crosses the crevace south of the Broken Stair. Go there slay this deep-claw, (your name). Search its hoard for any musical knowledge that may prove useful and bring it back to me, and I will see if you have found the missing ticket.'
