Description

I'm not from here. I've never even BEEN here before today. But even I can tell you that something's wrong.

That wall over there was built to keep mantid off of pandaren lands. Now, the mantid are sending their winged scouts over the top, as if the wall wasn't even there!

The only reason those spindly scouts aren't dying is because they're attacking farmers, not soldiers. They wouldn't stand a chance against someone like you.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Cleaning HouseValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    That's it, <name>. I've had enough of this. If somebody doesn't do SOMETHING to take care of this brewery, we'll lose it forever. And there's far too much family history - and beer - in there to risk wasting. So... we're going to break in through the back door. You, Li Li, Mudmug, and me.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Evacuation OrdersValley of the Four Winds · Level 15-35

    A few farmers remain in the fields... some perilously close to the crumbling wall. I don't want any farmers pretending to be heroes. We will take care of this mantid swarm, and then they can return to their homes. My Shado-Pan are too busy defending this town to organize evacuations.
