Description

There's nothing more that I hate in this world than the sons of Gruul and their father! They slaughtered my people, and my children, and now I will have a taste of revenge!

I have fashioned a trap from some dragon fire, and if you're clever enough, you might just be able to use it to kill a gronn.

I'm sure that you have a particular gronn in mind; it matters not to me which one you kill. Just hurry, take the trap to your Commander Stonewall.

My thirst for revenge must be quenched!

Name of the quest is most likely taken from Star Wars. In one of the old films (I believe it's episode 5, not 100% sure), Admiral Ackbar commands the fleet to attack the Deathstar, and when they realize the shields are still up, he yells "It's a trap!". Became a bit of an internet fad in recent years.

Not entirely correct; it's episode 6, when they assault the second Death Star. He shouts it when they want to retreat to a zone and discovers enemy units there. Ackbar: Take evasive action! Green Group, stick close to holding sector MV-7. Soldier: Admiral, we have enemy ships in sector 47. Ackbar: It's a trap! Yes, I'm happy the way I am.
