Description
Ah, adventurer! Just the sort of well-armed individual I was hoping to encounter. I'm here in this literal backwater on very important Kirin Tor business, you see, and whilst I was beginning to set up my camp, I was chased off by filthy, mangy gnolls. In fact, a rather concerning number of gnolls have gathered nearby, enough that I believe they pose a threat to the wider Span. Fear not though, for I have a plan! Meet me in the lake just over there, and I'll explain everything.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- Waste Water Cleanup
First things first--I need my base of operations back! But the elementals running amok around here have made it very difficult to gain even a toehold. And of course it is those wretched gnolls' fault.
- A Precision Approach
Gnolls are awful creatures. Smelly. Always scratching, laughing at you. And there are multitudes here and more are constantly arriving. We, and by that I mean you, could reap them like wheat for days and never get anywhere. They can't be suffered to stay here.
