Quest text

What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

Ever seen a hobgoblin? They're another vile goblin creation. Take a goblin, make it even uglier, fatter, bigger and stupider and you have a hobgoblin. Add to all of that a nasty mean streak and we've got a problem. These lumbering oafs wander the Sludgewerks and Mirkfallon Lake, acting as muscle to the goblins. Get out there and thin 'em out. Permanently.
