TheWoWDBRight around 58 13 you'll find a bunch of Riverpaw gnolls. Kill until one drops a Riverpaw Gnoll Clue.
Will those gnolls pay?
Oh yes...... (shades on) ... They have gnoll idea..
They played on the road... (shades on) ... Now it's time to pay the gnoll..And I'm sure there is plenty more.

Follow-up to Murder Was the Case That They Gave Me, also given by Horatio Lane.
Possibly a reference to a Baldur's Gate 2 quest where you find scraps of red cloth as a clue while trying to find who committed a murder. Could just be coincidence though.

Description
Seeing as how we have no other leads, we may as well chase down the information you got. There are a couple of Riverpaw gnoll camps in the area. Track them down and search for clues. Bring back anything that you might find. Isolate your search to the Riverpaw gnolls and scouts.
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.
- Murder Was The Case That They Gave Me
Here's the deal, kid, we've got a full-blown murder on our hands. Double homicide... Single horse... icide. Worse yet, we're in Westfall. I could throw a rock behind me and hit a dozen hobos with motive enough to want to wipe these people (and horse) out.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hot On the Trail: Murlocs
As pointless as I think that this is going to be, we need to investigate all of our leads. I need you to head out to the Longshore, west of here, on the coast, and shake up some murlocs. Try to find a clue or some info that can help shed some light on the murders.
