Happy mammoth hunting!
Excellent! Thank you. I landed on the mountainous ledge right behind him, dotted him (am Warlock). He ran up to me where I sent my Felguard after him and it was all over in less than 15 sec from start to finish. No other mobs involved.

Description
I know just the job for an eager newcomer! We've got a gnoll problem. You might even call it a gnoll infestation! Pesky things. They keep creeping up more and more, and now they're on our doorstep, stealing our parts! Inconceivable. It all begins and ends with their uppity leader, Gnarlhide. I want you to see to that "ends" part. Go pay him a visit at his camp all the way to the west, in Snowblind Hills. And when I say "pay him a visit," that's a euphemism for "kill him painfully." Kay? Kay!

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Reclaimed Rations
Hey hey! You're a new face! Care to lend Ricket a hand? We have a somewhat unexpected problem - food shortage. I know, I know... we should have seen that coming, but you don't get it.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ample Inspiration
Wow! That stuff is nasty. Not to account for gnoll taste or anything, but I figured whatever they had would at least be... edible? Let's get more creative. Tore's got an explosive dispenser north of town... not far from the big cavern entrance, can't miss it.
