This quest comes from the gnoll Flitch Earmite, located on a ledge within the Splitpaw Den (loc -76, -68, -193) He'll ask if
you want to help him play a prank that will take you to the instance "The Hideout" (loc -84, -73, -159), located in the southern most
portion of the den.

Directly after zoning in, you'll travel down a tunnel. As you come down the tunnel you'll notice it opens into a large cavern
with many gnolls. You'll need to be careful as you approach the opening, as there are a group of gnolls right off to the left
and they'll aggro right as you get to the opening. Once you kill these gnolls, you'll have a nice little spot to pull the rest
of them too as you make your way down the cave.

The first part of the cave has three levels. The entrance to the lower caves is off to the right on the second tier. There
is a tunnel on the third tier that is reachable by stacking boxes, and this is where the heroic mobs can be found if you brought some
friends with you.

After fighting your way down the hallway on the right (if you've chosen to not touch the heroic mobs), you'll emerge onto another
large cavern. As you come out, there will be 2 gnolls hiding behind some rocks that will aggro almost as soon as you pass the
rocks. You'll want to draw these two back to the tunnel to kill as you'll be guaranteed to get an add group if you fight them at
the rocks.

Your objective is simple. Destroy 10 supply crates. They will be boxes that will actually say "Supply Crate" when you get
close enough. You destroy them by taking the explosive barrels that are lying around and detonating them next to the crates.
Some of these crates lie behind destroyable walls, so be careful not to squander your exploding barrels as there's only a finite
amount. The easiest way to do this is to kill all the gnoll mobs in the cave first, then set about destroying the barrels.

Using the tunnel that you came in at as your starting point, go counter clockwise around the cave. You'll encounter your
first 2 supply crates around the corner from where you first came in. As you turn into this little nook, you'll notice that
there are 2 explosive barrels against the wall across from you, as well as a few stackable crates. There is also a supply crate
in the corner and a destroyable wall in the far right hand corner with a candle hanging in front of it. You'll need to use the
2 destroyable barrels for this wall, one to destroy the wall and one to destroy the crate behind the wall. Across from the
stackable crates is another explosive barrel. Use this one to destroy the supply crate that is in the corner of the nook.

As you continue counter clockwise, you’ll notice a ledge around the next corner. You'll need to take the stackable crates
from the first nook area and make some steps out of them by stacking them on top of one another in order to get up to the ledge,
where another supply crate waits. The barrel to destroy this crate is located a little further up next to a tent. Grab the barrel
and head up your makeshift steps to the ledge and blow up the supply crate.

Moving on, you'll notice another tunnel. This leads into another part of the cave that we will visit later. There is a tent
before the tunnel and next to the tent is a barrel. Across from the tent is another supply crate. Take this barrel and blow up
that supply crate. Now you are done blowing up crates on this level. However, there are still 3 exploding barrels left if you
continue counter clockwise and wind up back at where you first started. Grab those and place them by the tunnel that leads
further into the caves.

As you fight your way down into the tunnel, you'll notice a destroyable wall on your right. Take one of the barrels and
destroy this wall, then destroy the supply crate inside. This should be your 5th supply crate. Continue down the tunnel until it
empties out into another large cavern. Be careful as you approach the entrance as there will be a mob standing right by it.
Use the same approach in this cavern as you did the above, and kill everything first, then blow up the supply crates.

Once again start moving around the cave counter clockwise. As you approach the 6th supply crate, you'll pass two barrels.
Take one and blow up the supply crate in front of you. Moving counterclockwise, you'll notice more stackable
crates. Remember where these are as you'll need them to get to the supply crate in the middle of the room later. As you pass the
stackable crates, you'll come across a short tunnel that ends in a dead end. There is a supply crate in it. Take the second of
the two barrels that you previously passed and destroy it.

Moving on in the same direction, you’ll pass another barrel. Pick it up and carry it further up ahead where another supply
crate rests. You know what to do! Right around the corner from the 8th supply crate, will be the 9th supply crate, but you have
no exploding barrels to destroy it with. Continue counter clockwise and you will find yourself a barrel. Bring it back to the
supply crate and destroy it.

Now you're ready for the 10th and final supply crate. It's on a pedestal of rock in the middle of the cavern. Remember those
stackable crates you found earlier? Go back and stack them into a makeshift staircase and carry it to the pedestal. There are
2 exploding barrels next to a tent at the base of the pedestal. Take one up to the supply crate and then you are finished with
this quest.

This is an easy quest, but can be time consuming solo as it takes awhile to kill all those gnolls. My suggestion is to go
duo, it cuts down on time and effort.

This quest counts towards one of the three needed to get the "Glowing Azure Shard" and is repeatable.
