==Quest information==
===Requirements===
* Must have witnessed [[Vael#Dialogue|Vael's first dialogue]] with the player in [[Grothmar Wardowns]], completed [[The Missing Vanguard]], and have re-zoned. See [[Vael#Notes|Vael's Notes]] for details.

===Objectives===
* Follow [[Torch Harrowkeeper]]. Do not alert him to your presence.
* Eavesdrop on the Charr while they discuss their plans.
* Talk to Vael. See how he wants to proceed.
* Follow the Charr to their meeting with the Grawl leaders. Crash the meeting and eliminate all hostiles.
* Bring the [[Charr Intelligence]] to [[Captain Langmar]].


===Reward===
* 100 Vanguard reputation points
* {{skill icon|Ebon Battle Standard of Courage}}

==Walkthrough==
This quest is very straightforward and can easily be done with heroes and henchmen. Keep out of [[Torch Harrowkeeper]]'s range when you follow him until the quest updates with crashing the party. Continue following him out of range until they reach the meeting. When Torch Harrowkeeper says his line "GREETINGS GRAWL..." you can safely kill them, or listen to the rest of the dialogue. Regardless, one of the Charr will drop the [[Charr Intelligence]] quest item which you will have to take to [[Captain Langmar]], claiming your reward.

It is advised to [[Map-Travel|map-travel]] to [[Longeye's Ledge]] to get to Captain Langmar. Not only is it faster, but you won't receive the [[Plan A|next quest]] until you rezone.

==Dialogue==
===Initial dialogue===
'''Vael'''
:''Do you see what I see, friend? This ''Charr'' walks with a purpose. I deduce he is not merely out for a relaxing stroll. We should ''follow'' him. Are you with me?''
{{ Offer dialog
| accept = Where you skulk, I skulk.
| decline = I'm good, thanks.
| ask = We must follow closely but not give ourselves away. You lead.
|indent = :: }}

===Intermediate dialogue===
When the Charr bosses meet
:'''Vael''': ''Stop here. Stay low and be quiet so I can listen to their ramblings.''
:'''Torch Harrowkeeper''': ''Paw Darkflame! You aren't needed at this post. I have more important business for you elsewhere.''
:'''Paw Darkflame''': ''Where, Harrowkeeper?''
:'''Torch Harrowkeeper''': ''Come with me. We are meeting with some of the more...hm...advanced Grawl to arrange an alliance.''
:'''Paw Darkflame''': ''What for?''
:'''Torch Harrowkeeper''': ''Why waste Charr lives if we can use Grawl as fodder? Now stop asking questions and move out!''

'''Vael'''
:''Well, that won't do at all, will it? Let's follow and make sure this silly alliance never happens.''

When the Charr meets the Grawl
:'''Torch Harrowkeeper''': ''GREETINGS. GRAWL. WE. BRING. WORD. FROM. THE. HEIROPHANT{{sic}}...savvy?''
:'''Grawl Dark Priest''': ''*oot!*''


===Reward dialogue===
'''Captain Langmar'''
:''I'm not sure I know this "Vael" you speak of, but you swear you heard this exchange with your own ears? Your word I trust. It's good you put an end to that meeting. Such an alliance would be devastating to us.''

==Notes==
* This quest is given by [[Vael]] west of the forest in [[Grothmar Wardowns]]. Torch Harrowkeeper will be [[spawn]]ed just east of Vael and you have to follow him to the beach.
* When the Charr meet with the Grawl, do not engage immediately, even if the quest log tells you to "eliminate all hostiles". Wait until the Grawl has responded "*oot!*" or else the quest will fail.
* After completing this quest, [[Chaelse Flameshielder]] will not spawn again until after you have completed [[Plan A]].
* After completing this quest, you must leave and re-enter Grothmar Wardowns before [[Plan A]] becomes available.
{{Bug| If Torch Harrowkeeper dies and is resurrected, he will drop a second Charr Intelligence.}}
{{Bug| It is possible for a chest to spawn in the [[Sacnoth Valley]] [[portal]], preventing the Grawl from attending the meeting.}}

==Trivia==
* The title of this quest is a reference to a quote by the [[Wikipedia:Warner Brothers|WB]] character [[Wikipedia:Elmer Fudd|Elmer Fudd]]; "Be vewy vewy quiet, I'm hunting wabbits."
