- “Until now, though, the Herdmasters have always kept to themselves. Someone must have paid them a fortune to attack us-- someone who wanted to level every town!”
- —Vince
Monster Herders is a Rare war quest that marked the introduction of TubThumper, before his re-appearance in the Sinister 7 War.
Dialogue[]
Part I: Battleon[]
Cries of help rise up from all across the countryside as thundering herds of monsters ravage towns and farms! It is rumored that a group of nomads called Herdmasters are running the monsters through civilized areas! But why would they do it??
Hak: It's all-clear, Boss! You can come on out now!
TubThumper: What news from the front lines, minion??
Hak: The stampedes have begun, Boss! Battleon is being attacked now, and we will hit Granemor and Lolosia soon!
TubThumper: HAHA, very good! This is truly the best decision I have ever made!! We will-- I mean, I will be rich beyond imagining once our mission is complete!!
TubThumper: I still cannot believe the RICHES that the ugly creature promised me in exchange for leveling these towns!!
War!
Herdmasters are a tribe of nomads who have always kept to themselves, moving groups of monsters from one place to another for the highest bidder. But now the Herdmasters are running hoardes of monsters through town! We need to stop them before everything is destroyed.
Twilly: Uh-oh! Monster herders are making their monsters run through town! We need your help!!
Twilly: If you need to be healed I can help you.
- Heal me please.
- Twilly: There you goes! All healed up!

Hak: The defenders of Battleon have made a dent in our monsters, but we are now attacking Frostvale to the north! We will plow those ice moglin huts under the snow!!!
TubThumper: HAHA, very good! This is truly the best decision I have ever made!! We will-- I mean, I will be rich beyond imagining once our mission is complete!!

Part III: Lolosia[]
Hak: It's all-clear, Boss! You can come on out now!
TubThumper: What news from the front lines, minion??
Hak: Our enemies have defended Frostvale, but meanwhile we have been herding monsters to the shores of Lolosia! And we are moving monsters toward Battleon again as well!
Hak: They won't expect to be attacked again so soon, and this time with the largest stampede of monsters ever!!
TubThumper: HAHA, very good! This is truly the best decision I have ever made!! We will-- I mean, I will be rich beyond imagining once our mission is complete!!

Part IV: Battleon[]
Hak: It's all-clear, Boss! You can come on out now!
TubThumper: What news from the front lines, minion??
Hak: The defenders have saved Lolosia, but we are stampeding the biggest herd of monsters we could gather through Battleon now!! They don't stand a chance!
TubThumper: HAHA, very good! This is truly the best decision I have ever made!! We will-- I mean, I will be rich beyond imagining once our mission is complete!!

Artix: The Herdmasters have lost! Once they retreated, their monster herds just broke apart.
Vince: Until now, though, the Herdmasters have always kept to themselves. Someone must have paid them a fortune to attack us-- someone who wanted to level every town!
Mercuria: And we will find whoever was behind this, Drakel, but right now I just want to see what they left us in that war chest to play with!!
War chest opens.
Artix: What I don't get is, if someone wanted to destroy our towns, why hire Herdmasters to do the job? They are far from being professional warriors!
Mercuria: Maybe their ultimate goal was NOT to destroy the towns... Maybe it was to do something else while we were occupied defending the towns. Disturbing, indeed...
