In Pursuit of Zanzil

It's back to the jungle again this week; now in pursuit of Zanzil, one of the troll leaders behind the raptor abductions. We kicked off with a flight to one of his hideouts along the coast, using spirit gargoyles as scouts to spy for us.

Spying on Zanzil

After picking up the information we needed, we headed out toward the coast personally, but while on the way there, we accidentally encountered an Alliance encampment and got taken out by the guards.

The Spirit Realm After Death

One clean shot was enough to kill us; they were quite high level guards. Needless to say, the next time we attempted to reach the coast we made sure to move off the main path to avoid the Alliance camp. Once we made it to the hideout, we began dispatching the guards around the perimeter to hunt down Zanzil himself.

Hunting Zanzil

By the time we reached Zanzil however, he created a portal to Zul'Gurub and eluded us. Not that this stopped Udderwin and I from pursuing him though. We trailed after him through the portal, returning to Zul'Gurub no longer through the eyes of the raptor using the Mind's Eye, but with our own flesh and blood ready to take him head-on.

Zul'Gurub

Zanzil first attempted to summon forth a powerful serpent creature called Venoxis in order to defeat us. Unfortunately for him, we didn't give him a chance and beat him into submission before he could complete the spell.

Battling Zanzil

Still, Zanzil had more tricks up his sleeve. He suddenly invoked some kind of dark magic that trapped us and we couldn't move while he charged up for a final attack to try and kill us with one blow. Then surprisingly the goblins showed up in one of their zeppelin airships to rescue us. They threw down a rope which I immediately grabbed, but Udderwin failed to see it and ended up dying as a result. Luckily for him, because I managed to complete the quest, it counted for him as well and he didn't have to redo it.

Captured by Zanzil

A narrow escape for me, but those raptors still need rescuing, so my next quests in preparation for another assault on Zul'Gurub took me to Booty Bay.

Flying to Booty Bay

From there onward, it was a hunt for giants with Deedlitt and Udderwin. We took down Gorlash along the coast, as well as a giant gorilla named King Mukla, followed finally by Negolash, another sea giant.

This short expedition concludes Deedlitt's journeys for today. The struggle against the trolls of Stranglethorn Vale continues for now.
