Dialogue
 * "Now that we know where the corsairs are gathering, we have the perfect opportunity to catch them off guard and chase them out of Lahtenda Bog. I don't know who this Ironfist guy is, but we're not about to wait to find out., take a moment to ready your party then head out and take out all the corsairs camping out in the swamp."
 * Accept: "The only corsairs leaving that swamp will be dead ones."
 * Decline: "Swamp? I just had a pedicure."

Reward Dialogue
 * "Hope those corsairs didn't give you too much trouble. As individual crews, they aren't very threatening, but when they gather together into an armada they're dangerous. This Ironfist sounds like he could be a real problem. Keep your eyes peeled for any information you can gather. Sounds like we don't have much time."

Followup

Walkthrough
The quest is straightforward. Follow the map cursor to each group of Corsairs, eliminating each group to further the quest. The five groups of corsairs are spread throughout most of the area.

Each group includes one or two mobs of 15th to 17th level corsairs, and their title is changed to Seaman, making it harder to discern their profession. The groups are in some cases near other mobs; pulling can make the battles easier.

Because these corsairs are higher level than most mobs in the area, this quest can make other "protect person X" type quests more difficult. If you have other quests of these type active, finish A Sticky Operation first before speaking to the NPCs that would trigger those quests.
