Description

It is our destiny to take this oil. Unfortunate that the centaur retreated to here when the sea rushed in.

Unfortunate for them, that is.

They've spit in our faces, <name>. We made them a generous offer and they made the mistake of not accepting. Now we... you, will show them the error of their ways.

Clear the centaur off of the Splithoof Heights. The oil must flow!

This calls to mind the oil companies and several other times in human history when greedy and selfish people tried to take what wasn't theirs. First they try to bribe (and deceive) them, and when that fails, they resort to violence.

Whilst I agree with the comments made about the morality of this quest, I think something has been glossed over here. This chain drops the cutest leather top in the game ...... and so .... a few stray horses and their oil v fashion ..... sorry, but their are priorities in life

  • Defend the DrillThousand Needles · Level 15-30

    I'm not leaving here empty-handed! Are you? I bet you were wondering what's in the giant crate. Well, wait no longer. I want you to take one of our drilling rigs to the oil pools and pump us up some crude. Of course, you should expect the centaurs to attack.
