Description

Fer a job like this, I normally bring me whole crew o' demolitionists. With some help in settin' up th' powder, th' charges, and th' rest o' th' gear, the job gets done a lot faster. Those blasted troggs have me men caged all around Frostmane Hold. Now I'm 'ere all alone without th' personnel I need to finish th' job. You look like a capable {class}, though. Would you find th' demolitionists th' troggs captured and break them out o' their cages?

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.

  • What's Keeping Kharmarn?New Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    The cataclysm tore open deep caves beneath Frostmane Hold and troggs flooded out of their warrens. They succeeded in displacing the trolls who used to live there and they stand to drive us out if we do not act.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Get Me Explosives Back!New Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    It's gonna take a lot of powder ta collapse those caves. I don't know whether th' damnable troggs understood that when they stole me supplies and kidnapped me demolitionists! But th' outcome's th' same. Ain't gonna be able ta blow nothin' up until I've got that powder back.
