Speak to Himuihi at #3 on the map of Tikawara.
She sees the Lagufaeth of Tikawara Island as a grave threat to the
island itself, with the captured young Lagufaeth in the cage at #8
amounting to all the proof she needs.
What she would like you to do is kill their Broodmother, who resides at
nearby Hohina Ravine. Having this conversation with her starts the
Quest.
You could make a Mechanics check of 3 to release the Lagufaeth
hatchlings at #8. You'll lose moderate reputation with Tikawara Village
if Pekeho sees you doing it. A character with skill in both Mechanics
and Stealth can unlock the door in stealth mode to avoid the reputation
loss.
Freeing the hatchlings has potential benefits in that it can mean
avoiding violent conflicts with other Lagufaeth at more than one point
on Tikawara Island.
You start off at #1 on the map of Hohina
Ravine. There will be groups of Lagufaeth at points marked #2.
They will let you pass if you previously freed the hatchlings in Tikawara.
They will attack on sight if you didn't
The Lagufaeth Broodmother will briefly appear at #6, but will
disappear just as quickly.
The Broodmother will appear again at #7, supported by several guards. She also appears
willing to negotiate, whether or not you previously freed the hatchlings
and even if you killed the other Lagufaeth at points marked #2. If you
hear her out with patience, she indicates that all she wants is the
hatchlings to be freed. There's more than one way to play it.
If you previously freed the hatchlings while you were still in the
village of Tikawara, you can
indicate as such to her and obtain from her a promise to stay away from
the village. That ends the quest then and there, with rewards of
6,000+xp and the Amulet called the Baubles
of the Fin.
You can agree to her request to secure the release of the hatchlings, and
then return to Himuihi in Tikawara.
A Diplomacy check of 4 combined with Insight, an Intimidate check of 7,
or a dialogue option based on the Watcher being an Orlan won't convince
her to willingly release the hatchlings. What you need is the dialogue
option based on assuring her that the Lagufaeth will leave the village
alone if the hatchlings are released, followed by one of a Survival
check of 4, a dialogue option based on the Watcher being an Orlan, or a
dialogue option based on the Watcher being a Ranger. If you convince
her, she'll give you the Lagufaeth
Cage Key to free them from their cage at #8.
The hatchlings will flee south to the beach after opening the door to
their cage. The Broodmother will appear at the beach shore towards the
southwest corner, and give the xp reward as well as the Baubles
of the Fin.
