With the eyes of the forest shut, one thing remains: the ears. Ancients.

Got that torch handy?

Progress

These Ancients must be taken care of.

Completion

Come, Champion. Let us take this ancient grove.

Notes

Don't try to kite the burning ancient to Sylvanas -- it'll leash.

Dark rangers and grunts are nearby attacking the druids of the claw.

Upon completion, a cutscene plays

Onu, three druids in cat form, two in bear form, and a stormcrow approaches Sylvanas and the adventurer as they walk up to the grove. Behind Sylvanas are the shredders. The stormcrow transforms into Malfurion!

Malfurion Stormrage yells: Sylvanas! Your foul deeds desecrate this sacred place! Andu-falah-dor!

Sylvanas Windrunner says: Malfurion. How gracious of you to join us...

Sylvanas Windrunner says: Who would have guessed that you would come to protect your precious trees?

Malfurion Stormrage yells: Begone, witch!

Malfurion blasts the Horde back to the road.

Sylvanas Windrunner yells: Argh! My eyes! It burns!

Sylvanas Windrunner yells: Where did you fly away to, little bird?
