Salhet's Gambit

Salhet's Gambit is a quest for level 30-35 in Uldum. It is step 46 of 101 in the Uldum storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Uldum at 52.9, 65.5. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,800 experience and money.

Description

Neferset City is too well defended. The mountain next to it, however, is not.

I've spoken to the ranger captain and he's willing to take a handful of his men and secure the strategic mountaintop.

There is one catch, <name>. He agreed, but only if you would spearhead the attack with them.

It must be a small group, else we'll draw the enemy's attention too soon, but trust me... the rangers of Ramkahen are as tough as they come. With you by their side we'll surely succeed.

Look directly south from where you get this quest and you will see a big mountain.
There is a mountain path going up this mountain.
At the bottom of the path is the Ramkahen Ranger Captain that you need to start the escort, he is with 4 other Rangers.

The escort consists of being attacked a few times on the way up the mountain and is easy (ie-they can fight it out on their own, but you should help to speed it up).

Anyways, speak to the Captain and he will start the escort.
