TheWoWDBI can't make any sense of this, why do I need to go through the process of gathering meat, waking him up and then killing him. Wouldn't simply conking him in the head while asleep be alot easier?

Maybe if the sentries won't help me, you will? I'm the foreman of the mine just across the bridge. My men are mining ore for the weapons our expeditionary force will need to carve a path into the Grizzly Hills. A giant yeti has invaded the mine, blocking the tunnel we need to expand! We've tried yelling at him and smoking him out, but nothing's worked. Maybe you could rouse it from its sleep with a meal of meat from the frosthorn rams in the snowy areas around town? Please? We're desperate!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Down to the Wire
The vanguard of the Alliance force will be arriving within days. The soldiers will be expecting their winter gear to be prepared, but I've still got more cloaks to make. I've been using spotted hippogryph down for the cloaks' linings, but my stock won't last! You've got to help me, <name>.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- I'll Try Anything!
I never want to see another barrel of salted fish as long as I live! Filling barrels day in and day out, and there are still more to be filled! I wish I hadn't used up all that bait I bought from Nat Pagle. Worked like magic, it did. Now I'm lucky if I can catch a fish an hour!
