Talk:Herds to the Slaughter

When I do this quest, I usually accept the quest, kill the spawning termites, and then run ahead to the Kournan base and kill the Kournans waiting there. This time, I accidentally aggroed the Acolyte of Melandru's group, and my whole party was wiped after a tough battle. I was wondering, though, why the cows hadn't come to my location, yet, though. I ressed at a faraway ress shrine and ran back, only to find a small group of Kournans attacking some of my cows. I had 10/10 up to there, and they killed 4 so that I had 6/10. I dispatched them, and found that the other 6 were stuck behind a rock by the Kournan base. I don't really know why the Kournans seemed to only start attacking once I became in range. Anyway, I walked up ahead to Nundu Bay and found the Herdsman still walking there. Once got there, the quest was completed, even though the cows didn't follow him. A pretty neat bug, IMO! (and not just because I got a free quest) --chrislee149 15:27, 3 December 2006 (CST)
 * I did the quest again. The same thing happened again. It seems that if you run ahead after accepting the quest, the Herdsman will follow, but not the Cows. So you can basically accept the quest and run away, wait for the Herdsman to arrive, and collect the reward. Also, if you run back to the Cows, they'll start following. The same thing will happen: 4 of the Cows pass, and the other 6 are stuck on the rock. Either way, the quest is very easy to complete due to this bug. --chrislee149 17:31, 3 December 2006 (CST)
