Anyone remember where they picked up the quest? I don't have it any longer and can't find the mobs. I also can't delete the item from my inventory. I'd like to try picking up the quest and completing it to see if it gets rid of both but can't find the source.
You can find the Unwitting Hollowguards around High Hollows, near /way 69 40
