What to do

StorylineAshenvale, Horde, step 14 of 42

Description

Listen carefully, {class}. There are three leaders in this region who are commanding the elves, keeping their focus directed on the lumber camp. Slaying them will certainly cause panic and disarray, hopefully enough for us to successfully complete our mission. While you're at it, bringing down their scouts can only aid our cause.

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.

  • Making StumpsAshenvale · Level 7-30

    As you've been told by now, we are to escort a diplomat from within the besieged lumber camp to safety. As it stands, that's simply impossible. The elves have a thousand arrows trained on the camp's exits.

  • As Good as it GetsAshenvale · Level 7-30

    Well, <class>, this is as good as it gets. The elves are scrambling to recover from your recent deeds. There's no better time to break into the lumber camp! Make your way in and speak with Overseer Gorthak. He'll instruct you as to how best escort the diplomat to safety. Good luck!
