Threat of Fire, The

General Quest

Watcher Redweed is in Staddle central near the mailbox and the well.

Looks like the goblins are starting to play with fire. Redweed wants you to kill goblin sappers before they get onto dry land.

Defeat the Midgewater Sapper 12

The goblin sappers can be found in and around Goblinhole to the southeast of the Midgewater marshes. Goblinhole has a marker on the map making it easy to find. I found a lot of easy to isolate sappers just north of Goblinhole, but they can be found all around and in it.

Be careful of their first attack, they will drop their burning bucket which causes high aoe damage to anyone standing in the fire. I find pets are immune to this damage (since they are not smart enough to avoid it). You can use this to your advantage by sending a pet in first and then getting the sappers attention to move it away from the fire.

When 12 are dead, return to Redweed for your reward.
