Description

Oh, I think I might have dropped too much acid onto the shield. Let me just rub a little...

Hm, kind of hard to read, but it looks like the name Mosarn. Never heard of him. Maybe Krog knows. Krog knows many people.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Talk to OgronDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    I know this human, Paval Reethe. Pathetic, even for his kind. He deserted his fellow soldiers and is now hiding out in the woods. I sent Ogron out to track him down. Some of the others suspect he's been stealing from our supplies. I think I saw Ogron heading off to the southeast.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Questioning ReetheDustwallow Marsh · Level 15-30

    It took a long time, but I found Reethe. He hide good for a human. Ogron worried that he might be crazy after so much time in swamp. You come with me for we go get answers from him.
