Recommended combat levels: 30 and higher |
Speak with Kippy Martin[]
Vance Groten sends you to speak to Kippy Martin (4321 -1251) who might still have her beacon, he claims.
As the story tells, Kippy is literally damaged in the head, and you may find her amusing, so it is recommended you read the dialogue for the comic relief.
Conversation with Kippy Martin[]
Kippy Martin: I can't talk with these starving flewts all over the place! They won't stop yammering about how hungry they are.
PC: I'll get rid of them.
Kippy Martin: And now you're yammering. It just gets worse and worse.
Defeat the Starving Flewts[]
When you find her, she asks you to kill 12 Starving Flewts (CL27).
Speak with Kippy Martin again[]
Once they’re dead, speak once again to Kippy, and she tells you she buried the beacon. (The rationale behind this action is quite amusing.)
Conversation with Kippy Martin[]
Kippy Martin: Ah, peaceful quiet. How I love it. You're the one who got rid of the flewts. The evil, noisy flewts. Did you want something?
PC: Do you have a security beacon from Stonewall Labs?
Kippy Martin: Yes. Yes I do. Well, no actually I don't. I buried it. I was hoping it would grow into a beacon tree. So far, nothing, but I haven't given up hope. It's only been a few years. I still think it'll sprout into something.
Return to Vance Groten[]
Return to Vance and ask him if he has any other ideas.
Conversation with Vance Groten[]
Vance Groten: Kippy didn't have a beacon? Buried it? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Let me think for a minute. Hmmm. Oh, I know. Walker Luskeske.
PC: Who is Walker Luskeske?
Vance Groten: Another former security officer at Stonewall Labs. Walker retired shortly before the Labs shutdown. I'll bet he still has his old beacon. Go talk with him.
PC: I'll do that.
Vance Groten: Walker will have one. I just know it.
Speak with Walker Luskeske[]
Vance will send you to Walker Luskeske (4992 -1503), speak with him. He will agree to trade hunting trophies for the beacon.
Conversation with Walker Luskeske[]
Walker Luskeske: Hello, was there something I could do for you?
PC: Vance Groten sent me.
Walker Luskeske: How is ole Vance? Haven't seen him in ages. Why would he send you to me?
PC: I'm looking for a security beacon from Stonewall Labs.
Walker Luskeske: Oh, really? As it happens, I do have one of those. I'd gladly give it to an RSF trooper like yourself, but I think you can do something for me in exchange.
PC: What do you want me to do?
Walker Luskeske: Hunting has always been a hobby of mine, but age and poor health pretty much ensure that I can't do it any more. So here's the deal, I'll trade my security beacon for some hunting trophies.
PC: What kind of hunting trophies?
Walker Luskeske: Well, let's see. I'd like some mountain spineflap wings. Also there's a mountain spineflap known as Sprywing. I'd like her talons. Oh, and some narglatch fangs.
PC: Okay, I'll be back with those trophies.
Walker Luskeske: Thank you. Start with the mountain spineflaps.
Hunting for Walker[]
So it's off hunting for you:
- Kill 9 Mountain Spineflaps (CL27) (5390 -2402)
- Kill Sprywing (CL28)
- Kill 11 Narglatches (CL27) (4407 -1859) (Relics available)
Return to Walker Luskeske[]
Once they’re all dead, return to Walker. He hapily gives you his beacon - unfortunately it’s broken. He thinks Vance should be able to fix it, however.
Conversation with Walker Luskeske[]
Walker Luskeske: These are beautiful. Thank you! And here's my beacon. It's a bit damaged and not working correctly, but Vance should be able to fix it. You should return to him with it.
PC: I shall do that. Hopefully Vance can fix it.
Walker Luskeske: I'm sure he can. Good luck.
Return to Vance Groten[]
Cross your fingers and return to Vance to complete the quest.
Conversation with Vance Groten[]
Vance Groten: I knew Walker would have his old security beacon. Don't worry. I know this one is damaged, but it's nothing I can't fix. Er, while I work on that, I wonder if you would do me a favor?
PC: What kind of favor?
Vance Groten: I was foolish enough to use a ring that is a family heirloom as a marker in a game of Sabacc, and of course I lost that game. I have since repaid the debt for which the ring was a marker, but I have not gotten my ring back. I was hoping you'd go collect my ring for me.
PC: How do I get the ring?
Vance Groten: Go to the cantina and speak with Herman Pate. He has my ring. He's not a bad guy, but for some reason he hasn't ever returned my ring and seems to always avoid the subject. Herman is usually at the cantina.
PC: I'll go speak with him.
Vance Groten: Thank you. I'll have the beacon fixed by the time you finish with that.
