Orc Threat, The
General QuestGatson isn't leaving, and he is not able to take care of the Orcs himself, so YOU get to do it for him!
STEPS:
1) Defeat 12 Orcs in Gatson's south fields. Gatson tells you:
"You'll like as not find them sneaking around in my fields to the south. Get those foul creatures off my land!"
You MUST kill Orcs in the south fields or else they won't count (11.1s, 45.7w). They are level 26-27, and plentiful unless there is competition. Even so, the respawn is fast.
2) Talk to Gatson.
3) After you speak with them and select "Finish Now", you get your coin reward, XP, and you will now be able to take the next quest, Defending the Herd.
