Requirements

Quest Prerequisites

Walkthrough

  1. Compare notes with the Wanderrest sergeant
    The sergeant lays out four months of patrol reports. 'Goblin bands answering to orc captains. Orc captains answering to one name nobody will say twice. He's moving between the regions to stay ahead of us.'
  2. Scout the Wanderrest forward den
    The den is recent. Sleeping pads for forty, a butcher's pit, and a banner hung from a spike. The warlord's mark is a circle of broken spears.
  3. Cut down the goblin lieutenant
    The lieutenant fought with both hands and a hidden blade in his boot. He's down. The map in his pack shows a second camp inside Sootstep, two days east.
  4. Cross to Sootstep and meet the watch
    The watch captain is waiting. 'We've had eyes on the crater since you left. He's there. We can hold the road but we can't go in. You'll need to be the one who walks through that door.'
  5. Approach the crater stronghold
    The crater drops fifty feet into a basin packed with tents and forge smoke. Sentries on three sides. You find the gap on the fourth and go in alone.
  6. End the warlord
    He stood seven feet and fought like he'd done it a hundred times. He had. He hadn't done it a hundred and one. The banner comes down with him and the camp goes quiet.
  7. Return to Wanderrest with the banner
    The sergeant takes the banner, folds it once, and sets it on the desk. 'Two regions can sleep tonight. That's a debt we can't pay back. Take what we can spare and rest while you can.'
