Walkthrough
The quest objective is pretty straightforward and most action will take place at the village gate; however it is easy to become overwhelmed. A good strategy would be to take a group of eight human players or a group of two human players with six heroes. Wall up the Warriors or Dervish at the gate, equipping skills that deal Point Blank Area of Effect damage, such as Cyclone Axe or Triple Chop. Have Monks or other casters stay back and avoid taking too much damage. Each wave will attack in rapid succession so you will not have much time to rest between assaults. Also keep an eye out for large groups of Frigid Skale and Skale Blighters which will come during the second and third waves; and can cause large damage spikes.

Alternate Strategy (Known to have been used once with success by a level 13 paragon primary with similarly leveled henchman and heroes; needs to be tested further): Wait until the timer drops to zero and immediately leave the gates, running into the rather broad swamp area. If heroes/henchman are being used, set a flag on the map in the outside swamp while the gates are still closed so that they will run past the skale and not attack. Run into the outside area until the skale no longer follow; once outside the gates, the skale will, rather than follow the players, enter the town, kill the commoners, and then wait in a set location. More skale come only when a wave or part of a wave of skale are defeated, so one can stand and wait for an infinite amount of time once past the skale and outside the gates. From this position, one can use pulling techniques to lure groups of skale inside the gate outside, kill them, and then kill the small groups of skale that come to replace them. This can be done until the all waves are defeated. It is important to try to kill Frigid Skale before they enter the gates, even when first leaving the gates upon the timer hitting zero, as pulling can be very difficult due to their Water Magic.
