Injured Rainspeaker Oracle is at (56, 65). Talk to him and a 77 non-elite croc comes. Kill it and talk to the Oracle again.

Your hunter friend doesn't care for your decision and goes to tell the village.

After you complete this quest, it starts an escort quest:

Edit: Once you do this, the Frenzyheart's become hostile. In fact, one of the elites killed me while I was alt-tabbed to post this. You guys owe me big time. :D

*WARNING*

When you do this quest your reputation with the Frenzyheart Tribe goes to hated.

Follow through with all the quests.

When you get to the quest to kill Artruis the Heartless (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=28659) (the quest is A Hero's Burden - http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=12581) and get to Artruis there is a Frenzyheart and Oracles npc encased in ice.

When Artruis gets to 30% health he bubbles and the NPC's pop free and start attacking you. What one you kill determines if you go with the Frenzyheart or The Oracles. If you kill The Oracles one you go back to Honored with Frenzyheart. If you kill the Frenzyheart you stay friendly with The Oracles.

Check the reputation items for each before you choose what one to kill.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hoofing ItSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    Okay, we done! Time to go back. No crocolisk to ride this time though. If we go east and stay near ridge, it should lead all the way back near hill. Need to be careful not to go far below ridge though or we might go right into big-tongue tree village thing. Zepik not think they like us right now.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Fortunate MisunderstandingsSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    I sorry! I not mean to get you in trouble! <The injured oracle stares at you blankly for a long while.> You save me! We thank you. We going to go back to village now. You come too... you can stay with us! Puppy-men kind of mean anyway. Let me know when you ready to go, okay?
