Intermediate Dialogue (Devona)
 * "The Grawl have been mustering south of the bridge. Let's see if we can turn back their attack. Follow me!"

Reward Dialogue

Could he be inciting the Grawl to attack for some reason? I will warn Rurik of this threat. Thank you for your aid."

Walkthrough
After acquiring the quest, talk to Devona and follow her across the bridge toward the southeast. Some Grawl appear, tailed by a single Charr Ranger, Vatlaaw Doomtooth (who quickly runs the other way, making it impossible to attack it). There are some Skale in the area, and she will sometimes aggro them as well as the Grawl. Nonetheless, Devona is usually capable of defeating all of them, with or without your help, so if you want to take the coward's way, stay back and try not to get hurt.

Even if Devona dies, if you defeat the remaining Grawl and exit and reenter Lakeside County, Devona will be alive again and ready to give you your reward.

Devona can be observed using the hammer elite skill Earthshaker during the fight.

If Trina Yunn is coming back from Regents Valley at the time, Vatlaaw Doomtooth may get caught on her at a certain position. This way, he can be attacked and killed after the Grawl are dead.
