This group task begins with Algera Chindlebolt at location -675, 265, 52 in Brell's Rest (by the zone-in from The Hole). In order to request this task you must first have completed Berrina's three tasks.

You say, 'Hail, Algera Chindlebolt'

Algera Chindlebolt says 'You there! By what unnatural means have you come to Brell's Rest? Oh, I suppose it matters not. The [threat] that is coming, after everything else that has happened lately around here, it cannot be the fault of adventurers like you.'

You say, 'What threat?'

Algera Chindlebolt says 'You may have heard talk of something called The Destroyer since you came to Brell's Rest. I assure you, it is real, though the dwarves and gnomes have been confounded in our attempts to learn more about it. The gnolls know of this menace, and though some of them are concerned, others seem to be supporting it with magical means. This must [stop] at once. While Brell does not appear to be present to exert his will in this place of eternal rest, its residents appear to be free to act as they will, possibly with deadly effects on what we thought were our everlasting spirits.'

You say, 'Yes, it must stop'

Algera Chindlebolt says '[Dealing] with gnolls has always been a slippery proposition, even when I was a mortal. Getting them to cease and desist from unwise or unsavory behavior is one of the more futile things one can hope to do. With so many things in Brell's Rest spinning out of their proper order, the last thing we need is a gigantic monster on the loose, much less one that is aided and boosted by a band of death-worshipping gnolls, beloved of Brell though they may be.'

You say, 'Dealing with the gnolls?'

Algera Chindlebolt says 'Loathe I am to say these words in this sacred place, but it may require violence to thwart the plans of these gnolls. Even then, this Destroyer monster may not be stopped, but his further growth prevented. This cannot happen unless we know which gnolls are actually up to no good. If we harm innocents here and cause Brell to have to retrieve them from oblivion, we will be cast out. If you will, please form a party of inquiry into this matter, and [investigate].'

You say, 'I'll investigate'

Algera Chindlebolt says 'The gnoll most open to talking about what the gnolls are up to is Shorf the Shaman. He is the one most willing to part with information regarding the Destroyer. Go to Shady Nook and let him be the beginning of your quest. Tell me when you are [ready] to be attuned to his presence, and I shall aid you in locating him.'

You have been assigned the task 'Don't Fear the Destroyer'.

Algera Chindlebolt is now aware of the existence of the Destroyer, whoever that is, and now believe that the gnolls are taking advantage of the arrival of this 'Destroyer' for the advancement of their own agenda. Seek them out and decide whether or not they are a threat to the general order of things, and learn anything you can about this 'Destroyer'.

You say, 'Ready!'

Algera Chindlebolt says 'May Brell watch over you and keep you safe.'

You maybe not strong enough to scratch him. He destroy every dimbulb sword-swinger that went to find him. He destroy you, too. That why he called Destroyer. He destroy things. Uh oh, more bad gnolls come to rough me up, make me worship Destroyer!'

Algera Chindlebolt says 'There is not much I can do to repay you in a way that you would be accustomed to, except perhaps to give you this. I really wish I could do more; the information you have gained in battle will at least help us prepare for whatever the Destroyer really is. I suppose it could be an oversized gnoll, but that would be too unimaginative; every race projects their collective ego in such a fantastical way at least once in their history.'
