Start Point:
In a cave on the southwestern corner of the Tree Gnome Stronghold.
To Start:
Speak to Brimstail.
Instructions:
1.Find a small cave entrance, overgrown with grass, in the southwestern part of the Tree Gnome Stronghold. Enter the cave and ask Brimstail about the Cute creature. He will you that it is his pet and will then ask you if you are interested in his research. He will to inspect everything in the next cave.
Note: The easiest way to reach the Tree Gnome Stronghold is by using the Spirit Tree transportation system (required completion of the Tree Gnome Village quest) or the Hot Air Balloon transportation system (requires completion of the Enlightened Journey quest).
2.Head into the next cave and take a closer look at the singing bowl, the machine panel, Oaknock's machine, and Oaknock's exchanger, and the aspidistra plant. When you have inspected everything, return to Brimstail. He will tell you that he does not know what they are used for and directs you to a gnome called Hazelmere.
3.Hazelmere can be found on the top floor of his house, on the small island east of Yanille. At first, he will only speak nonsense, but will then a spell on you so that you can understand him. Continue talking to him and a cut scene will occur about the Goblin Wars and Glouphrie. Once the cut scene has ended, Hazelmere will give you a Violet pentagon.
Note: Beware of Jungle spiders (level 44) near Hazelmere's house. The easiest way to reach the small island is by using the Fairy Ring code CLS. Other options are to teleport to the Castle Wars arena using a Ring of duelling, or to teleport to Yanille using the Watchtower teleport spell (requires 58 Magic and completion of the Watchtower quest).
4.Report back to Brimstail and a cut scene will occur of an invisible masked gnome destroying the machine. Talk to Brimstail again and you will come to the conclusion that someone invisible sabotaged the machine. Inspect the machine to find out that you will need Oak logs, Maple logs, a Hammer, a Saw, and a magical glue to repair it. Mix the Ground mud rune into the Bucket of sap, and you will produce some Magic glue. Repair the machine and talk to Brimstail. He will give you two more crystals.
Note: The easiest way reach the Tree Gnome Stronghold is to teleport to the Mobilising Armies area, using a Ring of duelling, and then use the nearby Spirit Tree to teleport to the Tree Gnome Stronghold.
5.Now, it is time to unlock to the machine. The lock is based on numbers and shapes. Your goal is to insert crystals into the machine so that they equal the number displayed (see the table below). For example, if the first number you need is a 10 and there is only one crystal slot, then you would need to put an orange pentagon in the machine. If you do not have the required crystal, you may use the exchanger to the right to convert high numbered crystals into multiple lower numbered ones. You can also exchange a couple of low value crystals to get a fewer higher valued crystals. By speaking to Brimstail, you will also receive more crystals. When you have unlocked it, a cut scene will occur of the cute creature becoming an evil creature. When to talk to Brimstail, you will conclude that they are spies. He will then tell you to go talk to King Narnode Shareen.
Note:The numbers differ from player to player.

6.Head to the Grand Tree, in the northeastern corner of the Tree Gnome Stronghold, and talk to King Narnode Shareen. After establishing that his pet became a little monster too, he will ask you to kill all the remaining Evil creatures.
