The Smallest Creatures

The Smallest Creatures is a Horde-only quest for level 20-30 in Blade's Edge Mountains. It is step 67 of 95 in the Blade's Edge Mountains storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Blade's Edge Mountains at 51.8, 58.4. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

The ogres, simple as they are, would notice you dispersing this poison throughout their camp. Thus, I will teach you how to enlist the help of one of nature's smallest creatures to do this task.

By playing a simple rhythm on this drum, you can coax a marmot to follow your commands.

There is a den of marmots near the Bloodmaul camp, to the north, down in the Daggermaw Canyon past the Circle of Blood.

Once you have a marmot's aid, use it to disperse the poison to the Bloodmaul's kegs.

I know it might be dumb but you are not supposed to click the kegs, there is a "poison kegs" action in the pet bar you get.
Just thought I would mention this since I had the pet bar disabled because of my addons, which took me a while to figure out!

I spent half an hour looking in the wrong spot for these kegs. To save future fellow questers from this embarrassment...

Use drum at:
Marmot Cave - 56,29

Poision kegs at:
Green Spot Grog Keg - 55,25
Ripe Moonshine Keg - 55,28
Fermented Seed Beer Keg - 55,23

I just went through the camp and KILLED EVERYTHING THAT WOULD GET IN MY WAY FIRST and then quickly morphed into a critter and went after the kegs. No acorns necessary.
