This is an easy errand quest to get you out of Coldridge Valley. In order to get it you must have completed The Stolen Journal. Speak to Grelin Whitebeard who is no doubt a little happier now. He?ll say:

I was planning on sending my apprentice to my brother Senir with my report, but I would feel much better were it placed in more... reliable hands. That is, of course, if you wouldn't mind?

Hmm... you'll have to take the tunnel to get to Kharanos.

Speak with Mountaineer Thalos before going through the tunnel. It's completely infested with troggs now.

Follow the road back to Anvilmar, then keep heading east to the tunnel, Thalos is stationed nearby.

Speak with Mountaineer Thalos

When you?re ready to leave the safe surrounding of the valley, the cute (but still rather annoying) troggs and fluffy rabbits, take a deep breath and run up the hill east of Anvilmar. Here you?ll see Mountaineer Thalos, and right next to him there is a little gnome with another quest for you. That one is called Supplies to Tannok, but that?s another story?back to Thalos, who will say:

Hail! Have a care, the tunnel to Dun Morogh is infested with troggs and is not safe for travel.

If you haven?t any pressing business in Dun Morogh, I?ll have to ask you to remain in Anvilmar until the tunnel is safer.

Hmm, well, if Whitebeard is sending you to Dun Morogh on important business, I can?t very well stop you, can I?

At least I can provide you with some advice and directions.

This will begin Senir?s Observations II, and when you?re ready go through the tunnel which is guarded by a few Rockjaw Raiders (level 3-4), no big deal, but the gnome next to Thalos is too scared to go, so have a chat with him before you go.
