Indirect follow-up of the Uther's Blessing chain, ending with Combat Training. Further opens up more quests in the battle for Andorhal, resulting in a blue item of choice from Alas, Andorhal.
Been trying to complete this quest but it won't let me. I've logged out/in, dropped the quest and even did a /reload but it's not letting me. Has anyone else had a problem with it?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Combat Training
In fact, you might still be able to help train some of my men. You probably noticed the abomination outside. We initially tried to fight him, but he didn't fight back. He seems to want to help out on the farm. Take a group of four settlers and challenge this abomination to combat.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Supporting the Troops
I'm no military expert, but this battle looks to be in our favor. Our defenders are equally matched with their deathguards, but the farmers' militia has taken them by surprise from the rear. For the Alliance! Still, we should all do what we can to make sure that we win.
