Quest text

The scouts were able to push through and around the Abandoned Village, setting up camp in an alcove on the eastern side. I need to contact Sorcerer Oofala, in charge of protecting the camp. He has set up some staves that should ward off the evil temporarily, so once I make it around the village it should be safe. To get to the camp I need to head past Dead Canyon and then east down the southern wall of the village.

Completion

I was able to help Sorcerer Oofala and destroyed the totems that had spread the evil into the village. Removing the totems brought forth an evil champion that I took care of as well. The Dark Blademaster had an insignia of the Freeport Militia in his belongings. Sorcerer Oofala then sent me to try and help High Chieftain Grexx at the nearby treehouse as time was pressing to try and save them. High Chieftain Grexx sent me into the nearby cave to take care of the necromancer that was tainting the island. I took care of the necromancer and returned to both High Chieftain Grexx and Murrar Shar for their respective rewards.
