Objectives

Deliver the Rescued Whelplings to Acride at Slither Rock in Burning Steppes.

•  [Rescued Whelplings] (provided)

Description

While we are circling around Dreadmaul Rock, there's one more stop that we need to make. You remember the hatchlings that you freed from the Whelping Downs? Troteman's been hanging onto them, and we're going to deliver them to someone who will take care of them better than we can. He's staying in Slither Rock, to the northeast of Dreadmaul Rock.

His name is Acride, and he might be the key to victory in the upcoming battle.

Rewards

You will receive: 75

Progress

You've arrived, <name>.

Completion

Yes, the whelplings. I will take care of them.

As for the agreement you made with your Colonel Troteman earlier, tell him that I will hold up my end of the bargain. You will have your dragon for the battle against the orcs.

We hold no particular love for the Redridge Mountains, but we do share your grudge against the Blackrock clan.

Notes

Pick up  [15-30] Blood Tour and  [15-30] Draconic Vanguard before heading out. Accepting the first of these three quests will put Keeshan in the player's party. Accept the rest of them before leaving Troteman. First, exit camp and turn west to reach the southwestern rally point by the pass to Redridge. Kill Akumi, then circle around Dreadmaul Rock counterclockwise to the northeast. Slither Rock is to the northeast of Dreadmaul Rock, and Acride can be found inside.

On complete:

Acride says: Your conspirator has informed me of your plan. I shall see you on the battlefield... painted with the ashes of the elementals.

The four whelps are also freed, hovering around Acride.

Complete all three quests and Troteman will radio in with  [15-30] Placing the Pawns.
