Walkthrough

The quest journal, step by step.

1. Start

   Mashasi, keeper of the elephants at Musawwarat es-Sufra, has a Great Enclosure and no elephants in it. (Requires Ropes for the Fourth Cataract, Wayfaring 65 and Warfare 70.)

2. Stage 1

   The herd of the Great Enclosure scattered when their bull, Thunder-in-the-Grass, went mad. Mashasi wants fodder to tempt the cows home: five bundles of sorghum.

3. Stage 2

   The cows are coming home for the sorghum, but Thunder-in-the-Grass rampages through the savanna south-east of the enclosure. Mashasi says he must be brought to his knees before anybody can get near him.

   To do: Kill 1 × Thunder-in-the-GrassUpdated by talking to Mashasi, keeper of the elephants
4. Stage 3

   Thunder-in-the-Grass went down on his knees, roaring. Something is hurting him: whatever it is, he'll shake it loose when he falls. I should look for it.

   To do: Get Poisoned thorn
5. Stage 4

   A poisoned thorn had been driven into Thunder-in-the-Grass's foot. I should show it to Mashasi.

   To do: Use Poisoned thorn on Mashasi, keeper of the elephants
6. Stage 5

   Mashasi is turning the thorn over in his fingers. I should hear what he says.

7. Complete

   Thunder-in-the-Grass is calm again and the herd is home. Mashasi gave me an elephant-hide shield, and will sell me a war-elephant of my own.
