Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Thelsamar Blood Sausages
There's never a shortage of empty bellies here in Thelsamar, kids running in and out, workers from the excavation coming in after a hard day's work. We're famous for our blood sausages, I don't suppose you've ever tried them? No?
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Tiny, Clever Commander
We've dealt with kobolds in these lands for years. Not much other than a nuisance. But they've been getting craftier at their stealing. I think one of them's ended up smarter than usual. Won't be that way for long, though!
