She has several knockbacks. It is possible to be knocked back far enough to reset her. Her leash is pretty short. I wound up fighting in the little hut she's in to keep from being knockbacked (the lazy way).

Description

One of our rangers reported seeing Suna up the hill to the northwest. I am relieved to find her safe. I had feared what she would do in her grief. Would you go speak to her on my behalf? Take this totem with you. If you encounter any danger along the way, you may find it useful.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hatred Becomes UsTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    I should have suspected a sha presence earlier! We are safe as long as we stand inside the Totem of Harmony's protective wards, but many of our people were not so lucky. They were trapped outside the camp when the sha's powers manifested, and now they turn upon each other!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Spear Through My Side, A Chain Through My SoulTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    My fate is sealed. The yaungol put this spear in my side. The wound will kill me. The yaungol hold me in place with their twisted, corrupted magic. The indignity of it hurts worse than my spear-wound. My death, I cannot stop. My imprisonment... you may be able to help me with this.
