Suspicious Hoofprints

Report about the suspicious prints at the Shady Rest Inn to Krog in Brackenwall Village.

Description

Rows of hoofprints lead away from the still-smoking skeleton of the Shady Rest Inn. There are at least a few visible impressions, with more rows of prints almost imperceptible in the soft mud of the marsh.

Completion

Hoofprints... It could have been the quilboar, I suppose. Or maybe even the centaur. Their presence in the Barrens is not insignificant, and I would not think it a stretch to commit such an act.

Did I tell you? It wasn't just that the inn was burned down... The owner's woman and pup were killed. Bad business, that.

Nonetheless, I will send Kagoro to find where the tracks lead.

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 135 experience (8 10 at max. level)

1. Make sure you pick up the black shield above the chimney and the *tiny* medallion on the wooden planks to start all three quests here.

2. All three quests are unfinished and their chains end at weird moments. This one ends after this quest, even though the quest finisher makes it seem like theres more. (Karago will head to the inn, but won't offer a new quest if you follow him, nor will Krog).

The Shady Rest Inn quest chain can start either at the Inn itself, from the objects, or from Brackenwall Village (37.6,31.7), https://vanillawowdb.com/?zone=15"">Dustwallow Marsh.
If the player chooses to start the quest chain in Brackenwall, https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4926"">Krog (36,31) will give the following quest:
This quest completes at https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=23567"">Inspector Tarem (29.6,47.5), located just outside of the inn, who will then use powder to help 'illuminate' the ""clues."" This basically causes purple arrows to appear, pointing at the individual quest objects strewn about the destroyed inn. Obtaining and completing this quest is not necessary, as the quest chains can be started directly from the objects regardless.

From the Shady Rest Inn (29.4,47.5), the quest branches into three paths, each starting when a different item gets looted.
The first quest for each chain will have you bring the three items to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4926"">Krog in Brackenwall Village.

Loot the https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=20992"">Black Shield (29.6,48.6):
Loot the https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=187273"">Suspicious Hoofprints (29.7,47.7):
Loot the https://vanillawowdb.com/?object=21042"">Theramore Guard Badge (29.8,48.2):
After completing all three quest chains, https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4926"">Krog will offer a fifth https://vanillawowdb.com/?quest=1276"">The Black Shield quest, asking players to bring the https://vanillawowdb.com/?item=5919"">Blackened Iron Shield to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4943"">Mosarn (55.6,79.6) in https://vanillawowdb.com/?zone=1638"">Thunder Bluff.

Mosarn will then volunteer new information regarding the ""mystery"" and starts the following short chain:
When these three quests have been completed, https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=4926"">Krog will direct you to https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=6546"">Tabetha (46.0,57.1) for further progression and conclusion:
