Expeditionary Mail Waistguard, 17s 20c, 1,300 XPDescription
The harpies have placed vile totems throughout the area to attain more power. We must destroy those totems in order to debilitate our foes. Take this torch and burn any totems you see. It is wise to weaken one's enemy before the fight even begins.

The harpies seem to be in league with the ogres. Many of them are gathering to attack our camp. We must thin their numbers and thwart their attempts to eliminate us. Perhaps they will learn it is best to leave the Horde be.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Message to Base
Let us return to camp with Herbert in tow. We're one step closer towards thwarting the ogres and their plans.
