Background
You'll receive this quest from Essien (in Torich).
Walkthrough
When you talk to Essien, he'll tell you that firenewts have invaded the Mines of Selgol (located to the southeast), and that the soldiers aren't doing anything about it. If you try questioning the soldiers nearby, they won't have much to say to you.
Inside the mines, you'll encounter a lot of firenewts (#3), including a firenewt overlord (#5). If you're level 10 or higher then you probably won't have any trouble with them. Otherwise, you should proceed carefully and perhaps leave the mines every so often so you can rest on the overland map.
Note: The overlord will drop a
Greataxe of Flame, which you'll need for Vadin'ya's quest
Heavy Weaponry.
When you return to Essien after clearing out the firenewts, he'll reward you with 600 xp, and he and his men will get back to work in the mines. As a result, Torich will start producing salt as a resource that you can trade.
Note: All of the towns of Samarach will buy and sell salt for the same price, so you won't be able to make a profit on it until Act II.
