Golden Mote Sub-quest

During Symphony of the Fey, one of the Golden Motes of Music was located in this quest, accessed via a Message in a Bottle. To reach the Mote, the following series of instructions must be completed:

• The Message in a Bottle that would send you into the sub-quest was found at the very bottom of the water tunnel under the original shipwreck.
• On following the song, you found yourself in a tavern full of Goblins, who had trapped the Mote in a metal cage. Thankfully, Toriel the friendly Eladrin was willing to help you retrieve it - for a price.
• Toriel required you to find an iron key, guarded by a red-named Sea Lion, and steal a bottle of fine wine from the tavern's locked cellar. Once you returned it to him, Toriel gave you an acorn - just the thing you needed to tempt Sir Sniffalot, his Vorpal Chipmunk companion, into breaking the cage open to reach the Mote. Once you'd dispatched the Goblins, the Mote was yours to claim.
