After you foiled a plan to destroy the Grand Tree things have been quiet in the gnome world. Brimstail has found a strange machine, though, built by Oaknock the Engineer during the Gnomes' Golden Age. What does the weird device do? Why on Gielinor was it built? If you agree to help this bookworm gnome get this confusing device working, you will learn a little about gnome magicks, gnome history, and you will start to uncover a new threat (or is it an old one?) to gnome security - a threat that is a lot harder to see ...
Inspect the singing bowl in the western portion of the cave.
To the north, attempt to unlock Oaknock's Machine.
Talk to Brimstail. (1•1)…

Of course, I'd love to!
Memories
Talk to Hazelmere, located upstairs in his house (on the small island east of Yanille, fairy ring code CLS goes directly to his house, Nightmare Zoneminigame teleport or Watchtower Teleport). There will be several cutscenes, the last being King Healthorg and the white Spirit Tree Argento. You'll know you're done when you get a Violet pentagon in your backpack.
Return to Brimstail. (1)…

I've visited Hazelmere, he told me all sorts of interesting things.
Get the bucket of sap outside of Brimstail's cave on your way back.
Use your Mud Rune on the Pestle and Mortar to make Ground Mud Runes.
Add the Ground Mud Runes to the Bucket of Sap to make Magic glue.
Repair Oaknock's machine (click on the machine twice).

Phew! I've got that machine working now. What do I need to do now?

Phew! I've got that machine working now. What do I need to do now?
Kill all Evil Creatures: (wait for the whole death animation to end before running or teleporting away!). Their colour is now black.
The one by Brimstail, if you haven't killed it already.
One outside of the main gate (south-east from Brimstail's cave). Note: It must be killed within stronghold walls. If it is outside, simply kill it, let it spawn, and kill it again for credit.
One by the gnome agility course entrance (near the spirit tree).
One by King Narnode, at the bottom of the Grand Tree. If it is stuck behind a trapdoor, kill it with mage or range, or hop worlds. Make sure you wait a few seconds after killing before using the ladder.
One at the top of the Grand Tree, by the prison. Make sure you wait a few seconds after killing before using the ladder.
One by the giant tortoises north-west of the Grand Tree (in the pen north of the swamp).
Talk to King Narnode.
Optional: Use the crystal saw seed on the singing bowl by Brimstail to get an enchanted crystal saw, and complete a medium Western Provinces diary task.
A crystal saw seed — Either take it to Ilfeen in Tirannwn or use it on the singing bowl by Brimstail to get an enchanted crystal saw. It allows items (that require a saw) to be made three levels above your Construction. It has a limited number of charges (28), but the recharge is free - use the bowl again.
Magic glue can be made before starting the quest by grinding the mud rune with the pestle and mortar and using it on a bucket of sap, saving inventory space.
