Objectives

Kill Ardo Dirtpaw.

• Ardo Dirtpaw slain

Description

You've stumbled upon a gnoll document. The gnoll that wrote this propaganda is semi-literate:

BROTHERS OF YOWLER, HEAR DIRTPAW! DIRTPAW GIVEN ORB FROM ORCS! DIRTPAW CONTROL ETTIN THINGS! DIRTPAW CRUSH HUMIES! COME GET DIRTPAW PAW-O-GRAPH IN RETHBAN CAVE. CAVE IS WEST, HIDDEN IN CANYON!

<There's a paw print as the signature.>

<There also appears to be a bite taken out of the scroll.>

You should probably investigate.

Progress

<The orb emanates powerful magic>

Completion

<The orb hisses as you touch it.>

Notes

While killing gnolls for  [7-30] Canyon Romp and  [7-30] Like a Fart in the Wind, the Dirt-Stained Scroll stands a chance of dropping. The followup to Canyon Romp,  [7-30] They've Wised Up... also directs players to Rethban, so accept and keep moving that way. The entrance to the caverns is north of the westernmost camp of the canyons at ^{[20.1, 31.8]} north of Lakeshire. Head to the northwest corner of the cave, kill Ardo and interact with the Ettin Control Orb.
