Description

When I was captured they took my gear and left me in rags. My mace is being used to crack stones and they're even using me best dagger as a dinner fork! I'd hate to know what happened to me armor but I hope its still usable.

I'll need a wee bit to recover from me wounds and without my stuff I'm no help in a fight. Could ye go find my gear for me?

Last I saw my armors in a chest next to that big tower south of here, my dagger was to the south west, and my mace over near that lava field to the west.

I found the coordinates in the top post to be off by quite a bit, so here is my version:

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Garrison Campaign: The Search for Owynn GraddockLevel 40
Commander, I have bad news to report. Agent Graddock was out on assignment to keep an eye on the Bloodmaul and he missed his deadline to check back in. Something's not right, <name>. If Owynn was captured they may have locked him away with their slaves.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Seeking the TruthLevel 40
Okay, now down to business. The Bloodmaul have unearthed some monstrous artifact I've heard them call the Soulgrinder. It's a nasty bit o' sorcery that their chief uses to give himself incredible magical power, but it comes at the cost of needing to feed upon souls to maintain it.
