Dialog from the quest:
Speak with Tomayas at loc=23934,23328 Abandoned Mines.

Tomayas says, "Hello again (name). I am glad you have returned to speak with me. Your help with in finding out what happened to the lost miners was greatly [appreciated]."

Tomayas says, "It appears that we have run in to another bit of trouble with the gnolls that live in the western portion of the mine. Would you be interested in assisting us once again?"

Will you help take care of the kobold's gnoll problem? [Level 25]
You have been given the Gnoll's Plight quest.


Tomayas says, "Long ago, the gnolls who live in the mines helped us mine the tunnels. When the tunnels started collapsing and we were forced to abandon the mines, we left the gnolls to their own [ends]."

Tomayas says, "That was a bad move on our part. The gnolls have since fallen back to their violent ways. Where once there was one tribe, the Blackmanes, there are now four. I have a plan to forestall any conflict with the gnolls. For my plan to work though, I need you to retrieve some things for me. First, bring me a scalp from a scratchfoot hedge mage and greenblud elder. When you have those, return to me."

[Step #1] Take the tunnel north off of East Track One. Find a green blud elder and retrieve it's scalp.
  • Green Blud Elder's can be found at loc=30778,21390,18427 dir=98 Abandoned Mines.


  • The green blud elder says, "Green blud never slaves again."

    [Step #1 con't] Take the tunnel to the south as you travel west down East Track One. That is where you will find the Scratchfoot gnolls. Take one of the scratchfoot hedge mage scalps.
  • Scratchfoot Hedge Mage can be found at loc=28292,27264,18461 dir=257 Abandoned Mines.(also seen at loc=33383,32579,18432)


  • The scratchfoot hedge mage says, "Gnolls slaves no more."

    [Step #2] Return to Tomayas and ask him what the gnolls meant by saying they won't be [slaves] again.

    Tomayas says, "How did you fare with the gnolls (name)?"

    Tomayas says, "They said slaves? Who would have thought that they would have a grasp of language. Yes, we used them as slaves. They had a better life working for us than they would have had otherwise. Listen, are you going to finish helping me or not. It's a simple [yes] or [no] question. If you say no, my business with you will be over for the time being."

    (I selected "yes", if you select "no" the quest ends and you receive 1 gold and some experience, a lvl 25 received 2,600,800 XP)

    so I'm not sure what happens if you select "no" if you find out drop me a line and I'll add that information here)

    Tomayas says, "I am glad you came to your senses. Now hand me the Green Blud scalp."

    Tomayas says, "This will do nicely. Hand me the Scratchfoot Scalp."

    [Step #2 con't] Hand Tomayas the Scratchfoot Scalp.

    Tomayas says, "I have one more small errand for you, and then you can be on your way. Take this note to Risill in the Undercity. She has a component I need. Go get it and come back right away."

    You receive a Supply Request from Tomayas!

    [Step #3] Take the supply request to Risill in the Undercity. She is standing in front of the building near the central statue.
  • Risill is at loc=22920,20596,16393 dir=290 Kobold Undercity. She is actually inside the building in front of the central statue.


  • Risill says, "What can I do for you dearie?"

    Risill says, "What's this? Tomayas needs the glowroot fungus does he? He isn't going on about his grand plan to [enslave] the gnolls again is he?"

    [Step #3 con't] Ask Risill how Tomayas is going to [enslave] the gnolls again.

    Risill says, "What? You didn't know that is what he is planning? He has designed some grand spell or potion or some such. Oh well, the fool is going to go through with his plan whether I am the one who provides him with his reagent or not, so I might as well profit from this. Here is the glowroot fungus he asked for."

    You receive a Glowroot Fungus from Risill!

    [Step #4] Take the Glowroot Fungus back to Tomayas in the Abandoned Mines.

    Tomayas says, "Do you have the fungus? Hand it to me."

    Tomayas says, "Good. Just give me one moment to finish this potion and test it, then I will give you your reward."

    Tomayas takes a drink of the potion he just created. His form begins to shift and contort.

    Tomayas drinks from another vial and returns to his normal form with a wide grin on his face.

    [Step #4 con't] Don't forget to ask Tomayas about your [reward].

    Tomayas says, "Yes, yes, your reward. Here it is. You don't know the service that you have done for us. We now have a means to infiltrate the gnoll camps. We can subjugate them now by just defeating their leaders and assuming the leadership mantle ourselves."

    You are awarded 5,201,600 experience!
    You are awarded 8 gold and some copper!
    You receive the Bracer of the Kobold Defender from Tomayas!
    You have finished the Gnoll's Plight quest.

    Couldn't find a Scratchfoot Hedge Mage at the loc listed.

    Did find one at 33383,32579,18432. He was clustered with a bunch of other scratchfoot mobs at the end of a dead end tunnel.
