Cutting a Path

Cutting a Path is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Bloodmyst Isle. It is step 23 of 38 in the Bloodmyst Isle storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Bloodmyst Isle at 30.3, 45.9. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 4,100 experience. Completing it counts toward 1 achievement.

Description

During our mission to reconnoiter the Sunhawks and their portal, I sustained a serious wound. Scout Loryi has managed to staunch the bleeding and she's trying to figure out a way to evacuate me to Blood Watch.

The problem is that we'd have to abandon our position here in order to guarantee a safe return.

As soon as we leave this consecrated ground, we'll be set upon by ravagers. If you can clear some of the enraged ravagers, it might allow us to make the trip back safely.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fouled Water SpiritsBloodmyst Isle · Level 1-30

    Most of the creatures touched by the crystals' energy have been corrupted in the same ways: strange marks on their flesh, increased aggression, and small crystal shards in their bodies. However, the fouled water spirits north of here appear to be turning entirely to crystal.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Critters of the VoidBloodmyst Isle · Level 1-30

    Aesom sent my squad out on a reconnaissance mission to search for the sun gate a few days ago. Needless to say, we found it... <Loryi points at Jorli.> Whatever those fool elves are transporting through that portal is causing void energy to be released. The area is teaming with void critters.
