Description

It's gonna take a lot of powder ta collapse those caves. I don't know whether th' damnable troggs understood that when they stole me supplies and kidnapped me demolitionists! But th' outcome's th' same. Ain't gonna be able ta blow nothin' up until I've got that powder back. Go south to Frostmane Hold and kill any o' those troggs you find. Any one o' 'em could be carryin' me kegs o' powder.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Missing in ActionNew Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    Fer a job like this, I normally bring me whole crew o' demolitionists. With some help in settin' up th' powder, th' charges, and th' rest o' th' gear, the job gets done a lot faster. Those blasted troggs have me men caged all around Frostmane Hold.

After this quest

  • Finishin' the JobNew Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    My team has finished settin' up th' powder kegs and th' detonator at the bottom o' th' cave in th' western part of Frostmane Hold. All you need to do is venture down there and activate th' detonator to explode the powder and collapse those tunnels.
