I'm going to call this a bug even though it technically is not:

The trigger for the burning ship quest happens too soon. You never see Pablo run up asking for help because it triggers when you approach the gate, but because Arhu forces a conversation, you're

It encourages you to skip through Arhu's conversation in order to make it. Trading with him? That's just asking for trouble. It also triggers the timed warning if you approach the chest to the left of the gate, which again is not good because of Arhu's forced conversation.

I think the quest should only trigger once you step past the gate, not when you're exploring before the gate, and definitely not when you head straight for the gate and talk with the important NPC.
