“Hey hey! You’re a new face! Care to lend Ricket a hand? We have a somewhat unexpected problem – food shortage. I know, I know… we should have seen that coming, but you don’t get it. We tend to have somewhat of a quick turn-around here with our sapper squad and all, so usually we don’t have to worry about long term eats. Good old K3’s gotten popular though. Convenient solution?
There are gnoll camps to the west and some gnolls scattered, scavenging as gnolls do. Care to go nab some of their rations?”
-Ricket
Ricket at K3 wants you to repossess 16 Dried Gnoll Rations from the nearby Savage Hill Gnolls.

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:
You will receive:
Upon completion of this quest you will gain:
Quest Giver: Ricket — K3, The Storm Peaks [41, 86]
Turn In: Ricket — K3
Objective: Collect 16 Dried Gnoll Rations from the Savage Hill gnolls west of K3.
Walkthrough
Head west from K3 into the Savage Hill gnoll camps in the Snowblind Hills. Rations drop from killing gnolls, but the fastest method is looting food crates scattered around the camps.
Crates yield multiple rations per loot and are plentiful across the 3-4 camps between K3 and Gnarlhide’s camp at [30.4, 85.7]. Sweep through camps starting around [35, 83] and moving west. Kill gnolls as you encounter them for extra drops, but prioritize crates for speed.
Efficiency Tips
Lore Notes
K3 is experiencing an unexpected food shortage. Ricket explains that the goblin sapper squad has such high turnover (read: frequent explosive deaths) that long-term food planning was never a priority.
Now that K3 has attracted more visitors, they need supplies. Her solution? Steal back what the gnolls have been scavenging from goblin leftovers. The mutual theft between goblins and gnolls is the running theme tying together this quest, Expression of Gratitude, and Clean Up.

Vikstone's War Journal“We have a somewhat unexpected problem,” Ricket explained. “Food shortage.”
I waited for the rest.

“I know, I know… we should have seen that coming, but you don’t get it. We tend to have somewhat of a quick turn-around here with our sapper squad and all, so usually we don’t have to worry about long term eats.”
There it was. When your sappers explode faster than they can eat, food planning becomes an afterthought.
“Convenient solution? There are gnoll camps to the west and some gnolls scattered, scavenging as gnolls do. Care to go nab some of their rations?”
The gnoll camps had crates of dried rations stacked between their tents. The gnolls objected to my presence. I convinced them otherwise with shield and mace, then took what K3 needed.
Simple mathematics: sixteen rations, several gnolls who should have reconsidered their career in supply guarding.
“Hey there again! My belly’s rumbling… how’d it go?” Ricket accepted the supplies eagerly. “I hope they weren’t too hesitant to share the wealth. We’ve been pretty forgiving with them picking through our leftovers thus far.”
An army marches on its stomach.
