[edit] Walkthrough
You meet up with the Gear Warband, which is preparing to deploy the tanks to the front line. Your mission is to guard the tanks on the journey, since the Risen aren't about to just let you through. Follow the tanks and clear out any Risen that get in the way; you have several allies with you, so they should be quite easy. Eventually, a cutscene plays, showing that the lead tank got stuck in a minefield. The Pale Reavers show up and apologize for not warning you about the mines. To make it up to you, they will accompany you for the rest of the escort.
You'll need to disarm all the mines before the tanks can proceed. Approach a mine and interact with it to disarm it. While you are fiddling around with explosives, Risen are attacking from all sides. The Pale Reavers will take care of most of them, but one or two might still slip through and attack while you're busy disarming. After all the mines are clear, the Risen stop attacking and the tanks continue moving. As before, clear out Risen that get in the way and proceed with the tanks. Eventually, another cutscene will play, showing a group of Veteran Risen Giants approaching from a temple. Don't try to fight them; move around on the left side and head towards the heart of the temple of Dwayna. A Risen Giant will appear there, and you must defeat him to advance the quest. Although other allies won't follow you here, Tegwen and Carys do, and the Giant doesn't hit that hard anyway. After he goes down, Tegwen stays behind to destroy the temple. Return to the tank column and finish escorting them; there shouldn't be any more Risen along the way. Once everyone arrives, the mission ends.
[edit] Notes
- Crusader Afanen appears in several cutscenes during this series of quests, even though she's not to be found among the other npcs outside of the cutscenes.
- The areas available to roam around in are quite large and provide the opportunity of safely completing big parts of the map by discovering Points of Interest and Waypoints.

[edit] Dialogues
(Upon entering the Western Colonnade)
- Tactician Beirne: All set, Commander. The Pale Reavers have scouted ahead, and Ballista Geargrind's tank column is ready to roll.
- <Character name>: Good. Marshal Trahearne needs these tanks. We'll make sure he gets them, and we'll put them to use along the way.
- Tactician Beirne: Be advised, we expect serious resistance. The Reavers will be there to support you along the route.
- Tactician Beirne: My squad will airdrop in at the target and prep the site for you. In the meantime, Geargrind and her warband are standing by.
- <Character name>: Excellent. It's good to have you with us, Tactician. An operation this complicated needs people who can both plan and execute.
- Tactician Beirne: Thank you, Commander, I'll see you at the temple. Good luck.
(Approaching Ballista Geargrind)
- Pact Mechanic: These vehicles weren't meant for this terrain. Or these enemies.
- Ballista Geargrind: Bah! This ordnance puts down the Risen even faster than it erases ghosts. Destroys 'em permanently, too.
- Pact Mechanic: Yeah, but ghosts poof away with hardly any residue. Risen are gunky. Clogs the machinery.
- Ballista Geargrind: The finest war machines of the legions won't be stopped by "gunk", soldier. Get back to work.
(Talking with Ballista Geargrind)
- Ballista Geargrind: The Pale Reavers are conducting reconnaissance, the tank column is standing by, and my warband is prepped. Say the word, Commander, and the mission is a go.
Let's move out.
(After accepting the quest)
- Ballista Geargrind: Let's not keep the commander waiting. Get this column in gear!
- Ballista Geargrind: Mangonel's our whiskey expert. After this mission's successful, the first round's on him.
- Ballista Geargrind: Right now, I want to see tails in motion. Form up and move out!
- Ballista Geargrind: Move out!
(After defending against some waves Risen)
- Ballista Geargrind: We're halfway there. Things are going smoother than I expected. Heavy machinery and unfamiliar terrain don't always mix.
- It's a credit to you and your warband. Stand by to move on.
(After reaching the second checkpoint)
- Carys: Hey, it's the commander! Have you seen all the Risen giants around here?
- Tegwen: They're coming from a nearby temple. We need to level it, but we lack the firepower.
- Mangonel Gearstrip: I have just what you need. Ghostfire shells: highly experimental, highly combustible.
- Mangonel Gearstrip: Something we picked up from the Ascalonians. Someone simply needs to mark the target and signal me, and it'll burn.
- Mangonel Gearstrip: Make sure you woody types get clear, though. This stuff devours everything in its path until nothing's left.
(After defeating the giant chief)
- Tegwen: The timer is damaged. If we trigger it, we won't have time to get clear.
- Carys: We have to do something. These giants are getting bigger and madder all the time.
- Tegwen: I know. Just...leave it to me. You and the commander withdrawal. I'll signal the ghostfire.
- Carys: Tegwen? You can't do that. You'll be-
- Tegwen: Doing only what I was called to do. For once, Carys, just do what I say. Go!
(After returning to the Pact camp)
- Carys: I need a moment, Commander. I'm sorry. I know this is war, but I...I just can't believe she's gone. She was my partner. My friend.
- <Character name>: I'm sorry, too. Tegwen...we lost a good soldier today, but she died saving lives. We'll honor her memory.
- Ballista Geargrind: Count on that. She was a tough old stick, and she fought well.
- Ballista Geargrind: When we get home, we'll all raise a toast to her bravery...with the good stuff. And this time, I'm buying.
- Crusader Afanen: Tegwen is back with the Mother Tree now. Her memories, and our memories of her, will inspire generations of new sylvari.
- Carys: She'd love that. She always wanted to be the wise old elder that everyone listened to. For her, and for me: thank you, everyone.
