A Gnome's Respite

You see, <name>, I'm a member of the Enlightened Assembly of Arcanology, Alchemy and Engineering Sciences, and it's my goal... nay, my DUTY! to show the night elves that a blend of magic, mixtures, and mechanisms can help save their forests.

But it's a hard fought war, and the goblins reproduce like rabbits it seems. I haven't even had time to build my newest inventions!

I need some time to plan and organize. But to do that, I need your help keeping the goblins at bay in Windshear Crag to the east...

How goes the battle on your end, <name>?

Thanks so much for your help, <name>. You're actually back just in time.

I think I've got a perfect plan... explosives. No, that's not the plan, but it's part of the plan.

See, I've been using high explosives--don't worry, they're not as dangerous as everyone thinks--to scare the goblins back a bit. I can herd 'em pretty good with a few key detonations along the mountains' edges, but I've been low on supplies now for a few days...
