Is it just me or this quest is kinda bs? Why can't we just smash the bloody cages apart? They're made of wood!
and the cages that the quest giver and his buddies are in are not even as tall as them. they could step right out! :P

Description
You may be an outsider, but you and I have a common enemy in the hozen. Many members of my tribe are trapped in cages nearby. I have also seen your... Alliance... soldiers as well. I cannot leave without freeing my brethren, just as you cannot leave yours. The Slingtail hold the keys to those cages. Find the keys and free our friends.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Path of War
I see you want to save your friend. I can help you, if you will help me. First of all, it should be obvious that the fewer the Slingtail roaming around, the easier it will be to escape. Kill the hozen guards around us, and we will be one step closer to freedom.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Ancient Power
Hozen skulls are prized tokens among my village. We use them to perform ceremonial rites, and the older the skull, the more potent its magic. Luckily for us, the hozen are careless, filthy beasts. They leave the skulls of their dead scattered among their huts and campfires.
