Nyriki Tapio is a gnome who's good at hunting. According to his wife Mieliki however, he's not as good as he thinks he is. It will come as no surprise then that he's turned to you for help.
Nyriki is trying to find ingredients for his wife's alchemical interests however, things aren't going so well for him. Gather the moths to put a rather obese looking Plutonial chinchompa to sleep so that Nyriki can finish his work and gather the chinchompa's chemicals for Mieliki.
There are no specific requirements for this D&D however, you may need the following in order to access some of the rewards:
Firstly, you'll want to find Nyriki Tapio. Every hour, on all worlds, Nyriki will tunnel up from under the ground where he has found a Plutonial chinchompa.
You can go straight to Nyriki using the portal south of the Gnome Stronghold Agility Course. Alternatively, you can check the areas that he is known to dig up from. Nyriki will tunnel up in one of the following locations (marked as yellow dots):

Plutonial chinchompa |
Climb down Nyriki's ladder. When you get inside the cave you'll see the Plutonial chinchompa in the center. Speak to Nyriki and he will give you a special jar to put the moths in.
Occasionally you will spot a moth flying around the cave, and you can click on it to place it in your Moth jar, but by far the best method for catching moths is to look for shaking branches.
When a branch shakes, it means a moth is ready to emerge. Click on the branch to try and put the moth into your Moth jar.
You can also use Protea flowers to attract moths. Pick the flowers and equip them as your weapon. Every so often, while you have the flowers equipped, a moth will be attracted to you. You have a chance, depending on your Hunter level, to catch this moth and place it in your Moth jar. The moth will always be the highest level one that you can catch.
When you have collected some moths, click on the nest to feed them to the chincompa.
The more moths you add to the nest, the more Hunter xp you will receive. You will also get more points to spend at Mieliki's store at the Tree Gnome Stronghold.
Your score is capped at 1500 per game but you can continue to add moths to the nest if the chinchompa is not yet asleep.

The interface in the top left of the screen shows: how many points you've earned for feeding moths to the chinchompa; how sleepy the chinchompa is (the green bar will go down as the chinchompa gets more and more drowsy); and how many moths are currently in your jar. How much time is left in the game will be shown on the top right of the screen.
Note that if you leave the game before it finishes, you can hand in your moths to Mieliki.
Mieliki's shop will allow you to spend the Competence points you have gathered helping her husband put Plutonial chinchompas to sleep.
