Wait wait wait wait...let me get this straight.
I went and slaughtered upwards of 60 mantid, killed a giant kunchong elite, and recruited Hawkmaster Nurong to our cause...
During which, Taoshi was sent to 'scout', and all she did was set up a spyglass?
Lazy NPCs, man. Lazy NPCs.
Taoshi really, really wants you to look through the spyglass. So much that if you don't look, the anticipation could kill her.
Literally.
If you choose to not look and just idle, (like my alt-tabbing to look something up), after roughly five minutes, she'll keel over dead.
The Spyglass you need to use is right behind the camp. Taoshi will walk with you to the spyglass.

You said that Taran Zhu is in Townlong and was asking for me? Must be something important...

For all our efforts to keep the mantid in the Dread Wastes, some have broken through, seemingly intent on Niuzao Temple. My men have been attempting to extinguish their presence to the west, at Sik'vess, but to no success.
