Description

<You can hear Dumass speaking through the webbing.> HI! SPIDERS EVERYWHERE! THE CAPTAIN SENT ME TO SAVE THE WORLD AND CAPTURE HUMANS! WHAT IS THIS PLACE ANYWAY? IT'S SO HOT! I... <Dumass goes on and on about his situation.> Perhaps you should cut him free and get him back to safety. Or you can just leave him here, though it's your fault that he's stuck in this mine.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Coastal Delicacies!Hillsbrad Foothills · Level 7-30

    My spiders are hungry and agitated! They haven't eaten for days and are starting to sample our human captives. We can't have that. We need those humans for use in the Sludge Fields. I want you to take one of my hungry mine spiders out and feed it murlocs from the Western Strand, south of here.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • No One Here Gets Out AliveHillsbrad Foothills · Level 7-30

    This farm is under lockdown! Nothing gets in and nothing gets out! We're still assessing the situation to try and figure out exactly what happened, but my theory is that the laborers ate the mushrooms and somehow mutated into hideous undead monsters. I mean, how else could this have happened?
