Objective

Kill 5 Woodpaw Alphas.

• Woodpaw Alpha slain (5)

Description

Never underestimate a threat. These gnolls may seem like simple brutes, but there's animal cunning even among them.

The gnolls run as a pack, and every pack has Alphas: The biggest, strongest, and most ruthless members that claw their way to dominance. They're the ones giving orders, so they're the ones we're going to slay now.

They reside mostly around the Woodpaw Den, pushing the others around. Get out there and push

Completion

Perfect. Any gnolls left will be simple prey, lost in the woods.

Heh...here, soldier, take your reward before I get distracted. We've got other threats to deal with.

Reward

You will receive 90.

Gains

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

Objectives

Kill 5 Woodpaw Alphas.

• Woodpaw Alpha slain (5)

Description

Gnolls are unfortunately as resilient as they are brutish and stupid. I have driven back the gnolls time after time from our camp, and it is only our chieftain's mercy that prevents them from being wiped out entirely.

Over the years, it has fallen into a dance of strength and dominance. When their numbers surge and they threaten the camp, the alphas, the strongest gnolls, must be slain.

This will drive them back into the forest, and leave us is peace until they forget their lessons.

Reward

You will receive:45

Completion

You've done as I have asked, and for that I salute you. Take this small reward as compensation for your efforts, <name>. With their numbers thinned and their leaders slain, the gnolls will think twice about storming the camp. This doesn't conclude the issue at hand, however...

There must be some reason why the gnolls have been whipped into such a frenzied state. Before they have a chance to regroup though, I want to find out what is causing it.

Gains

Upon completion of this quest you will gain:

• 4,900 XP
• 150 reputation with Thunder Bluff
