What to do
Description
You've got the poison. Now it's time to take out that ogre. Gutgruk the Tough. He usually patrols around their citadel. Probably looking for your expedition as we speak! Poison your blades, then take that monster down.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Paladin's Service
I found something strange while using Lindie's Scout-o-Matic that you should probably know about. The ghost of a paladin appeared on the hill nearby. She looked straight at the Scout-o-Matic and asked for you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Divine's Shield
This island has been cursed by necrotic magic. The Light can only just reach this place. Call upon its Divine Shield to step through the barrier before us unharmed and destroy this vile altar. Show the darkness on this island that you are protected by the Light's embrace.
