Blunting the Spear

General Quest

Dagoras would like you to find and kill the Orc chieftain at a camp southwest of town. His death would delay the Orcs from attacking.

STEPS:

1) Defeat the Ongburz Chieftain. Dagoras warns you:

"Be wary! These Orcs are of the Ongburz tribe out of Angmar. They are of a more cunning mind than you might expect of Orcs, so you should probably take allies with you on this mission."

The Orc camp Dagoras is referring to is called Gurzlum, and it is indeed southwest of town. Once inside the fort, head to the right, and before long you'll find the Chieftain, a level 27 Elite, with 3,653 morale and 795 power. Take out his friends first so you do not have any ADDs to deal with. I did this quest with no trouble with a level 30 Hunter and 29 Guardian. Your mileage, of course, may vary. You may wish to do the Touch of Corruption quest at the same time, to maximize your questal efficiency. There are also some non-fellowship quests which involve killing Orcs. Plan ahead and you'll waste no time!

2) Talk to Dagoras.

3) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, and Dagoras' Gloves.
