Answering Their Attacks

Description

The sethrak's attacks on our burrows cannot go unanswered.

They need to learn that not all within the desert will give up so easily.

The only thing the sethrak understand is blood, so that's the language we'll use to teach them.

<Nisha pauses and looks at you, skeptical that you understood her.>

I'm saying we need to kill the sethrak here. All of them.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Dressed for BattleVol'dun · Level 30-60

    Kiro's the leader of my caravan. He's always been far too passive. I warned him we needed to make a preemptive strike against the sethrak, but he insisted that we keep our heads down and continue to quietly do business. Look where that got us. Our caravan was completely unprepared for their attack.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Plans for AttackVol'dun · Level 30-60

    Before we were attacked, I had a plan to take the fight to the sethrak. It was devised with flawless intel. I know, because I gathered the information myself. I surveyed their entire compound and created a map based on my findings.
