Description
So we've got troggs working for kobolds, and kobolds working for gnolls. The gnolls must've moved in from the Wetlands. How do I know? Well, they brought friends, because what's left of the Loch is swarming with Bluegill murlocs that were never there before. Pests are pests, but this coordination is worrying. I need you to talk to Cannary Caskshot. She's one of the best hunters in these parts, and she'll know how to handle murlocs, if you can pull her away from her mug long enough.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Axis of Awful
Alright, now just shut yer gob and lemme talk, 'cause here's the plan. Those gnolls and murlocs are liable to be meetin' out there somewhere. So you take this clever plant disguise of mine, and you wear it and look like a plant.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Smells Like A Plan
Murlocs workin' with gnolls? That's a laugh! Now, just killin' them won't get you anywhere. Too many of the buggers. But I've got a plan, usin' the old noggin, see. Those murlocs, they have this smell, they get that smell on stuff, and when another murloc smells it, they go all crazy!
