Kill the annoying little suckers. If they have two oranges when they die, you get to loot two! Wish I had done this the first four or five times I came across this quest. Believe me after doing it by trying to grab an orange before they do, you'll feel really vindicated when you zap them. I think this may be the only NPC that brought that feeling of vengeance to the front of my psyche.
Just run south and slightly down hill from quest giver. Run around the base of the large orange tree. The respawn time is so fast you dont need to go to more than one tree.

What to do
Description
I heard, I heard! The High Elder wants you to train with us! There's going to be a banquet for us, the trainees... and you should probably bring a gift, as a sign of courtesy. The oranges in the grove south of the temple are extra-sweet right now. Bring some back, for the banquet.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The High Elder
How strange, to have such a foreign-looking <class> visiting our temple. Are you here to study? You... you look very strong. You wouldn't have any trouble getting accepted into the monastery. You should talk to the High Elder, up on the balcony above.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Great Banquet
The banquet should be starting any time now. Go find the High Elder and pay your respects. I'll be right behind you.
