TheWoWDBShe doesn't want the gnoll's stealing her lumber, but she asks you to steal their weapons. She doesn't want to kill them either... but the only way to get their weapons is to pry it from their cold dead hands.
Sounds like your average justification for war throughout history (for both sides).

Description
I have my doubts about those gnolls' intentions. They haven't attacked us yet, but their numbers are growing, and they seem to always have their weapons ready. I'm no military expert, but that seems a little aggressive to me. Maybe if we took away some of their weapons, they'd be a little less likely to pose a threat to our mill. I'd feel much better about the whole situation if you went down there and brought some of their weapons back to me.
