When you try to hand this quest in, before completed, the quest giver says "Do you have a case of crabs?"
Dirty joke confirmed.
Doing this quest reminds me of trying to capture battle pets. Luckily, I only have to throw it once to capture each crab unlike pet battles where I seem to always have to throw it at least 4 times.
That is every comment on this page.

What to do
Description
We are trapped here with little in the way of food and supplies. The territorial sethrak control the land to the west, and the spiteful naga the waters to the east. We are caught between a barren desert and a hostile ocean. If you are headed to the lagoon to face the naga, will you bring us back some crabs to eat? I fear that our tribe will soon perish without food...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hidden Motives
I do not understand why the naga would bother attacking a small fishing village. Why waste their time on our simple tribe? The naga seek power and we have none. It makes no sense! They must be after something else entirely... Search Darkwood Shoal and learn of their plans.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Elder's Wisdom
The naga are searching for a powerful artifact called the Ring of Tides. According to the invasion plans, the ring was lost long ago in a battle with Eraka no Kimbul, the great tiger loa. The temple of Eraka no Kimbul is just to the north.
The storyline at a glance
Kimbul's Wrath has 12 steps, from They Came From The Sea to Mark of the Loa.
