Description

Land's sakes, pardner! You done shut off those valves but good.

Unfortunately we've had a critical blowout in our gosh-darned central burnoff regulator! Missus Darla's done sent as many workers as she can rustle to go shut it off, but those flames have a mind of their own!

Literally! They're hoppin' up and grabbin' anyone who comes near! So Darla says if you can muster up out of that cave you're in and beat that elemental, she's got a mighty fine prize in store for ya!

  • A Bomb DealFelwood · Level 15-30

    All my workers got driven straight out of the cavern here by those big swamp-lookin' things! Darla's sent me here to pick up the pieces, but have you seen it in there? I ain't goin' in! There's a ton of explosives left behind that we can't just leave layin' around.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Stupid Drizle!Felwood · Level 15-30

    Stupid, stupid Drizle! I told him not to go! Drizle wanted to steal more honey from Felpaw Village... you know, just west of here? You can see it from the cliff... Anyway... I told him it was a dumb idea but he went anyway, and then the Deadwood tribe got him, and... and... Sniff...
