Between a Rock and a Thistlefur

Take down 8 Thistlefur Avengers and 8 Thistlefur Shaman; most are located east of Zoram Strand in Thistlefur Village. Once completed, return to Karang Amakkar at Zoram'gar Outpost, Ashenvale.
  •  
Thistlefur Avenger slain (8)
  •  
Thistlefur Shaman slain (8)

Description

The Thistlefur furbolgs are threatening our expansion! Thistlefur Village to our east blocks the way between us here and the Splintertree Post. It's a path that would circumvent the village of Astranaar; without it, we give the Alliance an extra expansion path.

<name>, we must not allow... an expansion path gap!

Proceed to Thistlefur Village and thin out the furbolgs. You will be given compensation for this task, but more importantly you will be doing your duty for the Horde!

Reward

Also, you get: 17

Progress

Have you taken the fight to the Thistlefur? With a clear path between our bases, our chances of claiming the whole of Ashenvale increase dramatically.

Completion

Well done <class>, well done! I will continue to send forces to thin out the furbolg, but I can at least count on a different path that will be free of Alliance entanglements. The Horde conquest of Ashenvale is now in full swing!

You've earned your pay this day, hero. I salute you!

Gains

Upon completion of quests, get:
  • 195 experience (11 70 at max. level)
  • 250 Reputation with Orgrimmar

Quest text is a parody of the line

Mr. President, we must not allow... a mine shaft gap!

from the movie Dr. Strangelove.

Low levels, be cautious. The https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=3924 Thistlefur Shamans can cast https://vanillawowdb.com/?spell=939 healing wave which heals about 50% of their health. Also, the Thistlefurs respawn quickly, so if you're stopping the game, and standing there while you're typing a comment on Wowhead, then watch out like me, because I'm a level 23 mage and I didn't realize that they respawned so quickly.

Don't bother doing this quest by itself. Kill these mobs on your way to ""Troll Charms"" and on your way back with ""Freedom to Ruul.""

Entrance to Thistlefur Village is the path at 31, 45. Don't wait around the first group you find for them to respawn. There are plenty more up the road.

I thought I would try to knock out two quests at once by killing the furbolg in the cave while collecting the troll charms but for me most of the furbolg in the cave didn't count towards it.
