A Swift Response

A Swift Response is an Alliance-only quest for level 15-30 in Grizzly Hills. It is step 27 of 115 in the Grizzly Hills storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Grizzly Hills at 31.8, 60.2. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

Our response must be immediate. Decisive. We must teach these savages not to cross us.

Our scouts have located what's left of the Silverbrook trappers... you know, the ones you didn't get to douse in flames. Apparently they're blockading the road to the southeast... perhaps they're trying to box us in.

Head to the Forest's Edge post and take care of them. Their leader's reported to be a man named Vladek... make sure he's dealt with.
