Description

We're doing all we can to keep the Grimtotem raiders at bay, but they keep launching assaults on the tower. Even worse, they've managed to discover and capture the patrols the captain sends out to gather information and safeguard the road. I suspect the captives are being held in Blackhoof Village, to the northwest. Knowing the Grimtotems, the defenders of the village probably carry the keys to the prisoners' cages with them. I don't care what you have to do, {class}, just bring back my men alive.

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.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Unleash the RaptorsDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    Now that we've got our raptors, our next move is to "encourage" them to attack the Grimtotems at Blackhoof Village to the northwest. I've got a leftover haunch of... well, it doesn't really matter what it is. It'll be your bait.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Tabetha's AssistanceDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    I can't spare any men to help search for a second Grimtotem outpost, but I think I know of someone who might be able to help you. Deep in the Quagmire, to the south, there is a small farmstead owned by Tabetha.
