Speak to Jesenda near the dojo in the Elddar Grove ( 748, -20, -354 ) Copy/waypoint 748, -20, -354 then lead/protect her to the gate from Elddar Grove that leads to The Willow Wood: Besieged Hamlet and zone in. ( 810, -21, -564 ) Copy/waypoint 810, -21, -564
Take Jesenda to the site of the gnoll ambush behind the target up the hill and don't lose sight of her. She will examine the ground for a few moments, then take off at a jog without saying anything to you. Your job is to protect her as she wanders through the zone. You will be ambushed by an assassin along the way. ( 811, -21, -649 ) Copy/waypoint 811, -21, -649
Jesenda continues tracking, often through aggro groups of gnolls, until she reaches the gate to the Forest Ruins. There the assassin who attacked you earlier will give an evil villain soliloquy before having a trio of gnolls attack you.
Follow the assassin's trail into the Forest Ruins (click the door).
Collect 8 piles of loam (each looks like a small pile of dirt). They are very spread out- it's safer to veer to the right and collect/click them.
