Kill Zem Filzy Goblinz!
Extremely stupid quest. Given the drop rate, there are far too few goblins. I had to stand around waiting for respawns. Bad job, Blizzard.

So these night elves send out a desperate call for help to us, goes something like this: <Gnombus changes the pitch of his voice to sound like a woman.> "Please come help us! The big, mean Horde has goblins! Oh, we can't handle goblins!
