Description

They've closed off the entire valley! No wonder so many people have been complaining about trading with the Brennadam market.

We have to do something about this. These people need to make a living!

You're going to have to be an honorary cadet for me here, <name>. Tell these ruffians to clear the road!

Found a cool cheese technique. After selecting the "open the pass" option, don't attack the guard, and instead run to the next one. Say the same thing, the first guard stops attacking you, and your percentage goes up! Keep doing this until you reach 100%.

I'd say it worked about 90% time. At one point I was fighting 2 (the previous guard hadn't dropped off), so easier to do if you're a tank class. But definitely cut down on some time and was pretty neat!

"Sod off, louse" is what they say when subdued. What a weird thing to say after a fight. I understand the "sod off" part, but calling me a louse is unexpected.

Also, they say the same thing whichever choice you make, so don't get your hopes up that they'll like you better if you give them gold.

As far as I can tell the Open the Pass and Just Attack options are equivalent. Never once did Open the Pass not lead to a fight.

Edit: now having done it on several alts, yes sometimes Open the Pass does result in them peacefully dispersing. Interestingly, if you have one of the other militia already attacking you when you talk to one who decides to just move on, it'll (sometimes?) pacify the other attacker(s) that are on you. My suggestion is just to stay mounted and run around asking all of them to Open the Pass and then kill whoever's left attacking you.

If you just want to pay them all off without fighting it will run 15g x 8 soldiers = 120g.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Time to LeaveStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    I knew it! I knew the fleet wasn't just lost! We may be a little in over our heads here. Let's leave before things get out of hand. Galeheart can take us to Stormsong Valley from here. No point in following tradition at this point, right?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Carry OnStormsong Valley · Level 30-60

    Let's get to Brennadam right away. We need to find Brother Pike and get to the bottom of all of this before things get any worse. This road should take us right into town. Brennadam's the busiest market this side of Boralus, so there should be plenty of people there who can help us find Pike.
