What to do
Description
We should be able to handle the defense of Stoneplow from here on out. <The Watch Commander motions towards Lin Tenderpaw.> Lin here is searching for someone she calls "The Hidden Master". I believe I know who she's talking about, and I have a clue for you. Go north.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest

A few farmers remain in the fields... some perilously close to the crumbling wall. I don't want any farmers pretending to be heroes. We will take care of this mantid swarm, and then they can return to their homes. My Shado-Pan are too busy defending this town to organize evacuations.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Unyielding Fists: Trial of Bamboo
We will start with a test: The Trial of Bamboo. Your friend Lin failed this test. Follow me, and listen carefully to my instructions.
