View source for Council Assistant - Spirit Call

Follow the [[a gnoll priestess (Lake Starfall)|A gnoll priestess]] around to the stair island filled with goblins. This quest is tricky, very tricky, the [[a gnoll priestess (Lake Starfall)|gnoll priestess]] has very few HP and the water goblins are higher level than she is. Rooting the goblins so you can better control agro is a must, you'll probably need to try this quest multiple times before you'll be familiar enough with it to intercept the goblins before she has a chance to engage them and lose a lot of HP. The gnoll priestess can be healed. Also do not attempt to engage mobs before you get the emote as this may cause the quest script to freeze(may be fixed).
