The last of the Wood Ogre quests, which you can get at 24.

Return to Hunter Valdis (loc=20.5, 53.7 Campacorentin Forest)at the tower when you're 24. He tells you that the wood warlord (sic a typo) is holed up somewhere in the Ogre Fortress, no doubt recruiting new raiders. Not surprisingly, he wants you to do the killing, saying that it will take clever searching and tactics. When you accept, he tells you to bring back the wood ogre warlord's horn.

[Hunter Valdis tells you that the Ogre Fortress is North of his tower. This isn't exactly true. The "Ogre Fortress" is actually two groups of small towers, each with a wood ogre lord inside and a pair of stationary guards on the outside; the guards are variously seers, mystics, berserkers, or scourges. Three towers run N-S along a ridgeline, while two more are on the flat land NE of the main complex. The guard types also patrol the ridgelines and are stationed along the slope west of the main complex.

The easiest way to get there is to head due N from the tower on the ridge that runs along the lakeshore. There is usually a pair of oj/yel goblins patrolling that you need to take out. When the ridge turns NE away from the lake, follow it up until you see the S-most tower; if you're careful you can run due E past the tower without attracting any ogre or goblin attention, and then turn N to get on top of a knob hill. From here you can see the entire complex. From this hill, one ridgeline heads N and has the 3 tower on it, and another heads E and has the wood ogre raiders you met recently and a lot of goblins on its S slope.

The wood ogre warlord is on the top of the S tower of the pair in the flats, while a wood ogre seer is usually on top of the N tower.

An alternate way to get there is to come in the back way from Caer Ulfwych. Head SW from the shed area, being careful because you're passing thru a little valley that has a lot of goblins and other agro mobs in it. Pretty quickly you come to the two lower towers.]

1) Kill the wood ogre warlord. Note that his guards will come immediately if he is attacked, and that he will often come when either of his guards is attacked. (The same is true of the wood ogre lords that live in the other towers, and the seer on top of the tower next to the warlord's.) In addition, they all call for help, and usually get it. Still, I've soloed it with 24 ice theurgists and a 24 (sniper) scout.

When he dies, the wood ogre warlord drops the Hollow Ram Horn and says "My plan would have worked if you kids hadn't been snooping around."

2) You return to the tower. Hunter Valdis cheers when you give him the good word (and the horn).

reward (at 24): 2,000,000 xp; 26 silver.

Hunter Valdis says that he's filling out an official report to go up his chain of command (he doesn't say how), and suggests that you should check in with Langston Fall and give him the news personally.

3) Go to Langston Fall in the shed W of Caer Ulfwych tower. He asks you whether the rumors are true, and when you confirm this he gives you another reward:

reward (at 24): 2,000,000 xp; 26 silver and the Merchant's Band (ring).

Reward:
  Merchant's Band
