Walkthrough
After leaving Yak's Bend first talk to Guard Markus, who'll be standing to the right, a short distance away in front of the gate. If you don't, you will not find any stragglers. If you do, they are right on the spot marked on the map. On the way you will encounter a very large group of Stone Summit Brutes and Stone Summit Ravagers. The Brutes are like Stone Summit Crushers and the Ravagers are pretty much Stone Summit Sages. Be sure to protect Elsa Alston. If she dies while you are leading the other refugees back to Yak's Bend, the other refugees will stop and you will have to restart the quest, which means that you will have to fight through the large group of dwarves again.
