Objectives

Find Kharmarn Palegrip at his camp in Frostmane Hold.

Description

The cataclysm tore open deep caves beneath Frostmane Hold and troggs flooded out of their warrens. They succeeded in displacing the trolls who used to live there and they stand to drive us out if we do not act.

High Tinker Mekkatorque hired the renowned demolitionist, Kharmarn Palegrip, to close the cave and stem the trogg advance. We've received no word about whether he was able to stop the troggs. Would you look for him at his camp near Frostmane Hold, to the south beyond the Toxic Airfield?

Rewards

You will receive:

• 30 XP
• +10 reputation with Gnomeregan

Completion

It won't be tough to collapse th' tunnel, but I'm goin' to need my team an' my equipment 'afore I can get to th' task.

Notes

Head south along the path beyond the airfield to find Kharmarn Palegrip standing in front of his tent.
