You can obtain this quest from Praetor Aberic in Frontier Mountains [EoK] at /loc -3404, -872, -301 South side of zone in middle with other quest/raid givers.

You say, 'Hail, Praetor Aberic'

Praetor Aberic says 'Hello compatriot. Hopefully you were sent by the leadership in Lceanium. I've been asking for help with the potential problem here for quite some time. But internal politics isn't what you're here to discuss, is it? No, let's talk about the problem, shall we?'

You say, 'goblin problem'

Praetor Aberic says 'Everyone is worried about the Sarnak or the giants, but I've been watching the goblins in the place they call Droga, and I don't think they can be ignored. From what I understand of their history, they have been disorganized and frequently spent their energies on infighting. But now a group called the Mountain Death Clan appears to have gained power. They are organized and, apparently, willing to seek allies, things that most goblins tend to avoid. I need you to get in there and weaken their structure. If you are [willing], I need you to destroy supplies and find and kill their leaders'

You say, 'willing'

Praetor Aberic says 'Good! I know a secret way into their stronghold. Just let me know when you are [2] and I'll show you the way.'

You have received a request timer for 'Goblins and Fools': 0d:0h:5m remaining.

You have been assigned the task 'Goblins and Fools'.

You say, 'ready' Praetor Aberic says 'Let us go.'

You have entered The Temple of Droga

    I was doing Goblins and Fools in The Temple of Droga and got wiped. Rezzed in the guild lobby and returned to Praeror Aberic and said “ready” and got the message “The way is blocked to you. Perhaps you would be able to enter if there was a reason to come here.” I have had to reenter HR’s before and always just said "ready".
    Repeatable, YES

    This mission is very much REPEATABLE.
    There is also a collection in this instanced zone,
    So it would be really lame if it wasn't reapeatable.
    Highly unlikely one person let alone group could complete the collection if it wasn't.

    It kinda has to be repeatable since it is also in the Daily HA rotation for bonus tasks from Clayton Teek. So, yes you are right they need to change the descriptor above to "yes" on "repeatable"

    instead of posting "7 different variants" or how many ever there will be... then write the variants for each step, since they are random.... I just had a variant not listed above, but all the parts were used in other variants... so they are just random for each step.

    My group did this today and found that we always had 2, 3, or more adds nearly every step of the way. Bring crowd control! You can't /open the barrels until all nearby enemies are dead. We had to kill Death Shaman Yugg. He was easier than the drill sergeants. Good luck!

    Just tried this tonight boxing a less-than-group geared 102 SK + healer merc (puller + 'dps') and a 102 Mage with EM18 pet (101 air pet summoned at lvl 103 - borrowed a friend's earring to summon pet) + caster dps merc (on balanced). Pet could tank singles just fine, but getting singles was a pain in the butt. I died twice, I think, with the SK, always during pulls. Every goblin cast a 2-second spin-stun attack the instant you aggro them (and I don't think I ever resisted it, but I did "shake off" the stun a few times). I would generally try to use Hate's Attraction, then, once I was done being stunned, spam AA darkness, then feign and let other mobs reset for the single. I was able to kill like 16 out of 20 of the Mountain Death Clan goblins, but threw in the towel after being in there for, if I'm remembering correctly, nearly 3 hours. I sometimes would pet pull with SK. Not the old way (getting singles), but just putting whatever runes I could on the pet, sending him in after a target, then backing him off immediately, pulling mob to me, feigning pet, and usually I'd stand up and snare/feign to get mob single, with varying rates of success.

    You definitely want some form of crowd control here, or at least someone who can lull before pulls. Otherwise, there's a good chance you're going to have a rough night.
