What to do
Description
They've got a bunch of our people in there. I know that they're doing strange rituals to them. It looks like they're sucking the life force right out of them! You have to go into the village and free the captives before it's too late!
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.
- Oomlot Village
The pygmies took most of our people back to their village. Who knows what evil they're up to? <name>, you have to go up there and free all of the captives before the pygmies work their voodoo on them! Izzy's already up near Oomlot Village to the southeast.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Send a Message
The Oomlot leader, Yngwie, is too powerful to be left alive. He's barking nonsense from the raised west side of the village, across the rope bridge. Go up there and get him before he sends the rest of the village against us. Piece of cake!
