TheWoWDBIf you're a troll, Lorewalker Cho has an extra line of dialogue when he shows up:
"As I live and breathe - an actual troll! You look just as the stories describe."This is, of course, because the Zandalari trolls were ancient allies of the old mogu empire that had enslaved the pandaren.

To do this quest, first find the NPC [npc=55622] and kill him. He is quite easy to kill; make sure you move out of the way of the Barrel Toss and Bananarang.
When killed, he grants the buff [spell=124013]. All hozen in the Jade Forest now tremble at the sight of you; making the remaining objectives of this quest quite easy!
I really hope I'm not the only one who sees the obvious reference to Duke Nukem. Dook Ookem... Do the math.

Description
Curse these furry pests! Kill one, and two more rise in its place... Nothing has changed, {name}. Orders are orders, no matter how few of us stand and regardless of the odds. I have plans to make and problems to solve. I want you to get out there and learn the lay of the land. Don't return until you have something useful to report. And silence that yammering fool while you're out there! Dismissed!
