Description

Did you notice the catapults on our way up? It appears the ogres plan to attack our allies below. Lindie anticipated something like this and provided several bombs to handle siege weapons. Just don't shake them too hard.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Like Ogres to the SlaughterExile's Reach · Level 7-10

    This is bad, <name>. Captain Kelra is bound by magic, the ogres are preparing to attack our friends, and the ritual is almost complete! I have to stay calm. We can't give up now, right? This may sound risky, but we need to take the fight to the ogres.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Controlling their StonesExile's Reach · Level 7-10

    Captain Kelra won't last much longer. We need to acquire the ward stones to break the ritual before it kills her. I'll continue weakening the main ritual. Get those ward stones from the ogre lieutenants nearby.
