Go upstairs (same floor as quest giver). Now go to 55.8, 58.6. See the path going up the mountain? There are a ton of them there.

"How can we make this quest more interesting?"

Stranger! You are the one I have heard of? When the kerfuffle with the drogbar happened, some of the young moose ran off! I can't chase them down or the others might wander off as well. Could you bring them back here?

Ceremonial DrumsHighmountain · Level 10-45
Those foolish calves! They've made off with our ceremonial drums again, treating them as toys... as... common drums! Can you help me find them? They must be scattered to all corners of Thunder Totem by now, discarded as soon as the fun dries up.
