Description
These shredders are more of a hassle than I expected. I've been peering through the eyes of the rats on the island. There are number of unmanned shredders west of here. The rats have an uncontrollable appetite for this bait. Throw it onto Unmanned Shredders and let the rats destroy them from the inside.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Good Death
These fools have no honor. They seem to enjoy torturing these poor beasts. The only humane thing we can do at this point is find injured rylaks and put them out of their misery. Take this axe and aim for their vitals, <name>. These rylaks deserve a good death.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Releasing Rylak
These goblins have been conducting horrible experiments on the rylaks. This fool gave me the location for three of their prized experiments. Set these mutated rylaks free. Maybe freedom will help these tortured souls find some peace in life.
