Now the door is here, pinned open in the hall, and so is she.

			== Tallies ==
			Aun Tehaura pays for the gold-shelled eggs the wayless flock keeps producing around the door. Bring her five and she pays out on the spot; the tally then resets and can be repeated every 20 hours. The eggs turn up when the flock is killed in [[The Unanswered Rookery]], and [[Whetu the Unanswered]] always carries one, so a single kill of the boss goes a long way toward a full clutch. These are loose eggs the flock carries, not the fixed clutch ringing the Rookery Mound.

'''Aun Tehaura the Drumspeaker''' is a Tumerok quest giver standing beside the pinned door to [[The Unanswered Rookery]] in the [[Drift Network]] hall's south wing, who hears the flock calling through it and can't stand the sound of it going unanswered.

== Overview ==
Dark-copper-skinned and not easily startled by the doors around her, Aun Tehaura kept the road-count outside Timaru for eleven years before the Meridian took an interest in her and her second count - the one she started keeping when something began calling at night from a plateau nobody walks. Now the door is here, pinned open in the hall, and so is she.

== Dialogue ==
On first approaching her:

: ''"You stopped at this one. Most people walk the aisle and never look at the doors."''

On asking about the door and the task:

: ''"I kept the road-count outside Timaru for eleven years. Then something began calling at night from a plateau nobody walks, and I started keeping a second count. The Meridian took an interest. Now the door is here, pinned open in this hall, and so am I. Stand close to it. You can hear them through it. They are calling for the rest of their flock and nothing has ever called back. I am not asking you to be gentle about it. Go through, thin them, and give me back the quiet. Fifteen would let me sleep."''

Checking back before the tally is finished:

: ''"It is quieter through the door tonight. Not quiet. Quieter."''

Turning in fifteen or more kills:

: ''"I stood at the door this morning and heard nothing through it. I did not expect that to sit so badly with me."''

== Quests ==
* '''Thin the rookery''' - kill 15 [[Wayless Siraluun]] at [[The Unanswered Rookery]] (kills by [[Whetu the Unanswered]] also count) and report back to Aun Tehaura. Rewards 20,000 XP plus a substantial XP reward that scales with your level. The tally is repeatable every 20 hours.
