Quest text

You've already proven adept at scouting our enemy, your name. Do you have what it takes to fight them as well?

Not all adventurers prefer straightforward combat to the art of stealth and evasion.

If you think you're up for the task, then the furbolg camp south of Auberdine is currently the biggest threat to our people. You'll find some of the Blackwood tribe there. Kill 8 pathfinders and 5 windtalkers, and return to me here.
