This quest is obtainable from Mountaineer Stormpike at Algaz station, Loch Modan. Coordinates 25 17 following completion of A tiny clever commander.
The objective is to kill 5 Tunnel Rat Surveyors and 5 Tunnel Rat Foragers.
Return to mountaineer stormpike to hand in the quest once complete.
Mountaineer stormpike will then allow you to progress on to who's in charge here and filthy paws.
So glad we don't have to collect their damn ears anymore.

Description
Now that those little blighters are dealt with, we've got more to take care of. The tunnel rats are swarming all over the Silver Stream Mine, setting up camps and sniffing around further and further every day. Greedy little things are looking for loot, I gather. Surveying and foraging is all fine and dandy when it's not on dwarven land! Take care of those tunnel rats and report back to me.
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.
- A Tiny, Clever Commander
We've dealt with kobolds in these lands for years. Not much other than a nuisance. But they've been getting craftier at their stealing. I think one of them's ended up smarter than usual. Won't be that way for long, though!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Who's In Charge Here?
Dorli's filled me in on this crazy trogg-slave operation the kobolds have going, and if you haven't talked to her about it yet, I suggest you do. I'd like to get to the bottom of this. Literally!
