Scourgekabob

Quest Giver: Prigmon — troll NPC at Granite Springs [16, 48]

Objective: Loot a Scourged Troll Mummy from the ground near Prigmon, then burn it in the bonfire next to Mack Fearsen.

Quick Facts

• Level: 74
• Prerequisite: Vial of Visions (Drakuru chain step 2)
• Unlocks: Seared Scourge (from Mack), Shimmercap Stew (from Prigmon)

Walkthrough

This is a 30-second errand quest. Pick up, walk, burn, done.

1. Loot the mummy: A few steps north of Prigmon, near the road [15.8, 46.8]. Look for Scourged troll corpses on the ground. Right-click one to pick it up. The item looks like a troll mask in your inventory. If none are visible, they have a short respawn timer.
2. Burn it: Walk southeast to Mack Fearsen’s bonfire [16.8, 48.2]. Right-click the Scourged Troll Mummy from your inventory while standing near the fire. Done.

Prigmon explains the practical reason: dead trolls near Drak’Tharon Keep must be burned or the Scourge will raise them as undead. Mack Fearsen handles the burning, though he’s clearly been handling some grog as well.

Why This Quest Matters

Don’t skip this despite how trivial it seems. Scourgekabob is the gate to Seared Scourge (burn 20 Famished Scourge Trolls near Drak’Tharon with Mack’s flammable grog), which is the prerequisite for Search and Rescue, a dungeon quest inside Drak’Tharon Keep.

Search and Rescue unlocks Head Games (use a quest item on the second boss Novos the Summoner’s corpse). Skipping Scourgekabob locks you out of two dungeon quests’ worth of XP and rewards.

Easter Eggs

• Mack Fearsen sings a drunken parody of “The Christmas Song” (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire) by Nat King Cole upon turn-in: “Shcourged trooolls roashting… on an open fire…” He belches, then admits: “That’s it! Far as I got…”
• His turn-in line, “Wrote a little shong about it. Wanna hear it? Here goes…” references Calhoun Tubbs, a recurring character played by David Alan Grier on the sketch comedy show In Living Color (1990-1994). Tubbs would preface every story with that exact catchphrase before launching into an improvised song.
• The quest name itself is a portmanteau: Scourge + shish kebab.
