Was indeed a hard quest. After petting all 5, they followed me around, so I played "run away" with them for a long time. How could you not!
This is the best quest I've yet encountered in TWW.
So hard, I'm really angry at Blizzard now, never add these hard quests again!

The local ottuks have a symbiotic relationship with the tuskarr, and it's feeding time. Can ye put out some of the meat ye gathered for them?
