Objectives

Captain Darill at North Point Tower wants you to bring him 7 Blackhoof Armaments.

•  [Blackhoof Armaments] (7)

Description

If the equipment you found at the ruins of the inn belonged to a Grimtotem attack party, there's likely to be more just like it within their camp to the northwest.

We haven't been able to gather much information about Blackhoof Village, but judging from the size of the raiding parties, there's a substantial force based there.

Do whatever you have to to capture some of their equipment so that we can compare it with your findings from the inn.

Progress

Did you get those weapons from Blackhoof Village?

Completion

<Captain Darill inspects the armaments you've brought from Blackhoof Village.>

There's not doubt about it. These match the description exactly, but there's just one problem -- these have never been used in battle. Blackhoof Village must not be the only Grimtotem post in the marsh.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

•  [Glowing Tourmaline Ring]
•  [Bone Dirk]
•  [Biting Axe]

You will also receive: 45 and 3900 XP

XP: 3,005

Objectives

Report to Captain Darill at North Point.

Description

I've spoken with Inspector Tarem regarding the evidence you gathered from the ruins of the Shady Rest Inn. He seems certain that the hoofprints and the shield you found there point to the Grimtotem clan of tauren.

With reports of Grimtotem activity on the rise in the marsh, this has to be more than a mere coincidence. I'm sending you to speak with Captain Darill, who is something of an expert on the Grimtotems. Follow the road north out of town to North Point tower. It's the second outpost on the road.

Completion

Captain Vimes thinks the Grimtotems are behind the destruction of the Shady Rest Inn? That wouldn't have been first on my list of suspects, but if Captain Vimes sent you here to follow up on a lead, he must have his reasons. Regardless, the Grimtotems have been a thorn in our side for some time and we're always glad for the extra help.

Rewards

You will receive: 2 40

Gains
