Shamelessly borrowed from my guild board:
Warning: I've "completed" the quest so far with a group 4 times but it seems the last task will not update when you hail Timmi at the end after saving him. However, I'm posting a couple of strats you could use to complete quest after it gets debugged.
The Loot: Dog Whistle - a clickable item that can be used by any class to summon a pet dog to aid attacks (not sure if it's a permenant-until-death pet). Refresh time appro. 2.5 min.
Quest is in Icefall Glaciers, a zone north of The Steppes.
NPC: Alibee (located a few paces East of The Steppes ZI)
Background info:
Timmi has fallen down a well and is caged by 2 orcs. His trusty dog La'see is with Alibee and can lead you to the well.
Bring a solid group for the 2 orcs in the well as they con Red to level 71. Requires good tank, healer, slower, and FD puller.
Tasks:
1) Follow La'see to the well.
2) Kill 2 orcs guarding Timee.
3) Free Timmi frome cage.
4) Escort Timmi back to Alibee.
La'see walks to the well (due east of Alibee) through a dangerous path infested by wolves. (None of the mobs attack La'see nor Timmi on the way back, but will be all KOS to your group). La'see requires to "see" someone to continue walking. When Timmi walks back after being freed, he is not KOS to wolves (quite possibly a bug).
Strat #1 - The ol' fashioned way
Clear all wolves either beforehand or on the way to the well. Once La'see walks to the well (still need someone to walk with her) , first task is complete. Have FD puller split 2 orcs from bottom of well. Kill each one. After killing both orcs, someone needs to touch cage to free him. Timmi will then pop at the top of the well. Hail him to have him start walking. (Warning: after killing both orcs, 2 more may repop immediately after. This is most likely a bug caused by groups starting quest previously, but terminated quest without completing it.)
Clear wolves on way back to Alibee.
Strat #2 - Rogue Escort
Since La'see requires having at least one member of the group visible around her, you can have a rogue escort La'see using Sneak to get by all the wolves on the way to the well. (Remember the rogue only has to be in vicinity, not necessarily right beside/behind her. So, if approaching dangerous/clustered areas, you can hide, run ahead to safe spot, then break hide - keep sneak on.) The rest of the group can be invised and wait for the rogue at the well.
Kill Orcs as described in Strat#1.
Have entire group invis back to Alibee after freeing and hailing Timmi. (Timmi just walks by himself without escort, and is not harmed by wolves on the way... as far as I know.)
After hailing Timmi at the end, he says "Thank you..." but the last task does not update. I think the major bug behind this is, several players request the quest and causes multiple La'sees and Orcs to spawn causing the quest not to finish at the end. Just a guess. I'm probably going to send a bug report later on today.
