Walkthrough

In Iceclad there are two gnomes that will tell you how they lost a case of rum and the key to the case. one of them mentions that the case and the key should be returned to the Captain if found. There is also a gnome at the docks that needs the captain's rum to cure his cold.

The gnomes were attacked by a big white cat, the case and the key were knocked out of their hands. The gnomish deserter in the Great Divide now has the case. One of them describes the cat:

You say, 'What cat?'

Nilham the Chef says 'That was a nasty cat. I dun think it was after us, though. I think it just smelled the fresh chunk of wooly rhino jerky I had. It didn't do anythin' but knock us over. I guess that's what it likes, walrus. After it knocked us over it slipped away towards the bridge island like a ghostly mist. I'm thinkin I saw a glimmer in its maw while it was runnin off.'

Give 2 barracuda livers (rare drop off barracudas in cobalt scars) to an othmir Qarrgy Scallopgobbler (in the shellhouse closest to the tower). You will get a Bladder of Acidic Oozes.

Give the Ooze and Fresh Tree Sap (foraged in Wakening lands - no drop item) to Pythic Urson in Thurgadin (near the mines). He needs them to clean his boots. In return, you will get a portion of his boot-cleaning-mixture. Note: Amiable or better faction is required for this turn-in.

Give this mixture to the gnomish deserter in the Great Divide (at the very top of the wurm-tunnel mountain in the center of the zone) to get the locked case.

Giving the mist panther 4 fresh rhino meat (rare off wooly rhinos in ew) gets you a broken key.

Go to the gnoll camp and give Errgiz a high quality dire wolf pelt. He gives you wolf-hide earmuffs. Give the wolf-hide earmuffs to Sojan the Sleepless (southern-most igloo in the Gnome Pirate camp) and he gives you a chain. Give him the chain + key and he gives you the repaired key. Give key + box of rum to captain Nalot and you get a bottle of Captain Nalot's Triple Strength Rum. Finally, give this rum to Nelet Durzit at the docks for your reward.
