NPC who gives the mission: Creq Trinkem
Name of the Mission: Pickclaw?s Revenge
Expansion the Mission is found in: Depths of Darkhollow

Guide to Mission:

Talk to NPC: Creg Trinkem in High Hold Pass - he is located straight across from the HHK entrance just overlooking it sitting on some rocks.

You say 'Hail Creq Trinkem'
Creq Trinkem says 'Are you talking to me? I can't tell what is real and what is not anymore. Ever since I found a pendant while roaming around the Commonlands I have been plagued by [nightmares].'
You say 'nightmares?'
Creq Trinkem says 'Yes nightmares. These nightmares seem so real though that they can't be something that I've conjured up subconsciously. I have been searching for [one] that could possibly end these tormenting dreams of mine.'
You say 'one'
Creq Trinkem says 'Ah so you will be that one. Thank you. I had been given an incantation but it requires another to perform and now that you shall help me I believe we are all [set].'
You have been assigned the task 'Pickclaw's Revenge'.
You say 'set'
LOADING PLEASE WAIT...
You have entered High Keep.

You can only be a warrior or cleric ? you?ll need a lot of healing (I?d recommend full group because you?ll get a TON of adds on pulls). I?d say 4 warriors and 2 clerics. As always in indoor/dungeon zones you?ll be dealing with mobs that heal through walls (out of line of sight) and without regard for the z-axis. Find a spot where mobs cannot be healed and pull to there. Mobs DO respawn (we didn?t time respawn unfortunately).

First Task: Find someone who can tell you what happened here

You have to find Captain Hygar who will tell you what happened. He's located all the way down at the goblin area in the basement - at the Pickclaw Raider and Seer room. You can either fight down there ? although that is extremely time consuming. If you can clear to bank area make sure the sacrifical lamb has Temperance and a HoT on them and zerg Run them down to the captain target him hail and die.

You say 'Hail Captain Hygar'
Captain Hygar says 'It all happened so fast we were taken offguard. It is all my fault for the Keep's condition. Alas it seems as though you brave soldiers are our only chance to retake our Keep. You must hurry and rescue the prisoners the vile pickclaws have captured in the Keep above. Time is of the essence.'
Second Task: Find all 5 prisoners and rescue them
Right! Time to find the prisoners. They're all on the second floor. Fighting on the second floor is problematic ? on our first pull we wiped due to getting 10 mobs on first INC call. It was nuts (although fun!). Clear room by room ? and remember mobs will heal through walls as well as the ceiling and floor.
You say 'Hail a prisoner'
a prisoner says 'Thank you for saving me.
Please free the others.'

You don't need to escort them - you just need to hail them they'll run to the ZI by themselves.

Third Task: Kill the Goblin Overlord

When all prisoners escape the Goblin Overlord spawns (he spawned at zoneline for us - that's where we all were when last prisoner escaped as we had gotten swarmed).

The Goblin Overlord Zobb shouts 'Do not let those intruders get back to the entrance alive or else I will have to personally deal with them!'

You have slain Goblin Overlord Zobb!
Your task 'Pickclaw's Revenge' has been updated.
You gain experience!!
You have done well with your tasks today. You shall move up the ranks of the HighKeep Guard very quickly if you continue down this path.
