What's Keeping Kharmarn?

What's Keeping Kharmarn? is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-10 in New Tinkertown. It is step 27 of 37 in the Gnomeregan storyline. It rewards 1 reputation reward and 180 experience.

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 FalloutNew Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    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 ActionNew Tinkertown · Level 1-10

    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.
