Description
The cataclysm tore open deep caves beneath Frostmane Hold and troggs flooded out of their warrens. They succeeded in displacing the trolls who used to live there and they stand to drive us out if we do not act. High Tinker Mekkatorque hired the renowned demolitionist, Kharmarn Palegrip, to close the caves and stem the trogg advance. We've received no word about whether he was able to stop the troggs. Would you look for him at his camp near Frostmane Hold, to the south beyond the Toxic Airfield?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dealing with the Fallout
Tock Sprysprocket has some crazy theory about these toxic sludges being the last remnants of gnomes, so my men have orders not to engage them for now. However, the Toxic Airfield, just south of us, is teeming with living contamination.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Missing in Action
Fer a job like this, I normally bring me whole crew o' demolitionists. With some help in settin' up th' powder, th' charges, and th' rest o' th' gear, the job gets done a lot faster. Those blasted troggs have me men caged all around Frostmane Hold.
