    I've read of this area, but can't seem to get the town mayor to give it out the quest, tried using numerous PCs but, nope.
    Is the quest still in the game? (new content 8.1 game)

    Thanks for any help :)

    After finishing the temple you will get to Verbobonc where there are some cool quests, Hickory Branch is one of them.
    The new HB is absolutely amazing compared to the old one with some insanely tough fights.

    You will get the quest from the sign in front of you when you enter verbobonc.

    Chano,
    thanks! :)

    though I did read folk saying they got the orc cave quest, very early on, before the moathouse even, and the orcs are in the ogre caves (before the ogres even get there), but it's low level?
    was this content in an early version of the modpack that was removed?

    I think you refere to the quest given by one of the temple clerics. I don't remember which one as I never do them but , possibly it could be the fire temple cleric Ahrem. I think you are meant to recruit them if you fail to recruit Oohlgrist. Again, I'm not totaly sure I remember correctly, but I shouldn't be much far out :)

    There is a quest from the Fire Priest about recuiting Ogres.
    It´s the 2nd quest, i don´t think you will need to fail the Oohlgrist quest to get it.
    The Cave is right next to the temple on the map

    Yes, and the Vervobonc Hickory Branch is the reincarnation of it.

    Yes, it is gone now. It used to drop some nice loot IIRC. :(
