“To the point… Ricket’s asked me to put together some stronger land mines, but I’m running low on parts. Just west of town, you’ll find the remains of our last rocket sled… Ricket got a little excited when she was fueling it, but I probably should have thought to not put the nozzle right over the exhaust. Live and learn, eh?
There should be a good stock of spare parts scattered around the destroyed sled… why don’t you go ahead and chase off those scavengers and nab me some of that wreckage?”

Lore Context
The wreckage is from a rocket sled that Ricket accidentally blew up while fueling it. Jeer admits the design flaw was his: “I probably should have thought to not put the nozzle right over the exhaust.”
The crash site is now called Ricket’s Folly. The salvaged parts go toward building improved land mines for K3’s defenses against magnataur and snobold attacks from Garm, which becomes a whole quest chain.
On completion, Jeer mentions sending Dim out to the wreckage earlier and worrying he never came back. Sure enough, Dim’s still out there, grumbling at gnolls.

Vikstone's War Journal“To the point,” Jeer said. “Ricket’s asked me to put together some stronger land mines, but I’m running low on parts. Just west of town, you’ll find the remains of our last rocket sled. Ricket got a little excited when she was fueling it, but I probably should have thought to not put the nozzle right over the exhaust.”
A vehicle had exploded, and the pieces of it were now to be made into explosives. Somewhere in that there was a lesson, and no goblin alive was going to be the one to learn it.
“Live and learn, eh? There should be a good stock of spare parts scattered around the destroyed sled. Why don’t you go ahead and chase off those scavengers and nab me some of that wreckage?”
The sled had come apart west of town and thrown itself across a good acre of snow. Scavengers were working the debris field, gnawing at scorched housings and snarling when I came up the slope. Mace and axe cleared them off it, which took less time than the gathering did.
Ten pieces, and every one of them still warm in a cold that had frozen the engines of an entire settlement. I could not decide whether to be impressed by whatever goblins put in their fuel or concerned about it.
“These will do nicely, thanks!” Jeer turned a length of scorched hull over twice and set it down. “Did you happen to see Dim out there? I sent him out a long while back and he never came back. I hope he’s alright.”
I had not seen Dim. Given the size of the crater, there was a fair chance I had seen parts of him.
“Speaking of which…” He had stopped waiting on my answer. “I wonder where Janks is.”
Two of them, mentioned in the same breath, neither one worth putting boots on for. Then he bent back over the frozen engine housing and started muttering at it. Life expectancy at K3, it seemed, was a flexible concept.
The scavengers would eat well tonight.
Jeer had his parts and two colleagues unaccounted for, and neither of them was the problem he wanted solved next, because the thing threatening K3 was already Just Around the Corner.
