StorylineFelwood, step 55 of 69
Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP
Description
I plan to use the goblin's greed and pollution against them. Any further despoiling of the land they have already carved here will be worth it to stop their further spread. Deep within Irontree Cavern, just below us, runs many pipes to pump oil through the ground across the entire clearing. These pipes are attached to a master control pump in the very back of the cavern. Enter the cavern and sabotage the pump. The ensuing havok will give us opportunity for our final strike.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Take it to the Tree
Those mangy curs think they can just snoop around my site and get away with it? I'll show them... And what I mean by that is, of course, that YOU will show them. You and the small army of axe-wielding goblin hires I've sent to Talonbranch Glade. The place will be swarming with worgen by now.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Slap and Cap
Oh for... not again! If you heard the deputy yelling out there, that means we've got a fullblown oil leak on our hands! It's those filthy worgen again! Listen, it's going to be total chaos out there. Sleep-deprived goblins running around screaming and not knowing what to do.
