This quest does not have a map marker, so if you get distracted halfway through it may sit in your quest log for some time unfinished (I know, I know...). To get back on track, return to the Serpent's Spine gate near Winter's Blossom in the South West of Kun-Lai Summit. Suna Silentstrike is in the tower on the Northern side of the gate.

What to do
Description
Alright. Thanks to you, we have the wall under control. Good job. I'll stay up here for a little while and make sure no more yaungol get up onto the wall. You, though, should go back down and see what Lao-Chin has cooked up. I hate to say it, but maybe he had a good idea after all...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Terrible Sacrifice
I have an idea, and... am prepared to make a terrible sacrifice. As much as I know that we need my stout brew, to fortify our defenders for the long-term security of the Ox Gate...
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Do a Barrel Roll!
When I trained as a Brewmaster, I didn't expect to use my knowledge like this... Did you know beer catches fire when lit? Well, with yaungol oil mixed in, it's downright explosive. I've mixed the oil in with these kegs. Roll them at the yaungol over by the gate, and ignite them when you get close.
