Description

These gnolls have kidnapped children from Iskaara. I was going to sneak in and rescue them, but I could use some help. Let's split up. Two sets of eyes are better than one. If you spot any kids, tell 'em to gather at this spot. Tell them Hemet sent you. They know me.

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.

  • A Percussive AntidoteThe Oasis · Level 80

    These gnolls have been corrupting the land--growing too big and throwing off the ecosystem. We need to stop them, and let this land recover from all that decay.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Using the Whole AnimalThe Oasis · Level 80

    K'aresh, eh? Sounds a bit like Netherstorm. I've been staying with the tuskarr for a while an' learning what I can from 'em. I was supposed to gather meat for the evening meal. If you can do that, I can start packing.
