Now that I had a burnt key and had endured the convoluted conversation of Mujahid Mukhtaar to obtain the quest, I needed to find a portal to the Burned Woods.
The portals are temporary, spawning and de-spawning. They appear randomly in various zones, including Jarsath Wastes and Fens of Nasthar. Luckily for me, Fahker found one on a small island west of the Lake of Ill Omen.
Fahker had been great help, but from here I had to go alone. The Burned Woods is a solo instance. Totally solo -- not even a mercenary could go with me.
I clicked on the portal and entered a desolate, smoldering landscape.
On zone-in my quest updated:
I needed to "slay anything of consequence":
I began exploring the area. Flaming treants wandered around, waving their burning branches in the smoky air.
Not far down the path I encountered a wandering group of nameds.
Three of them:
The Matchstick Men!
As I continued exploring, I encountered a smoldering toad. I guess he didn't like tourists taking his picture. While I was getting a screenshot of him, he attacked me.
He dropped a small chest. Many players don't even open small chests. They just leave them and continue killing mobs. But I clicked on it. And then I saw this in my chat window:
Ummm... 11686 platinum plus 1752 platinum for being an All-Access member is... 13, 438 platinum.
From one small chest?! From a regular mob?!
Needless to say, I began clearing the zone, killing EVERYTHING. When I left the zone I had approximately 875,000 more platinum pieces than I had when I entered.
The small chests from the regular mobs averaged at least 10,000 platinum each. UPDATE: I have since done this on my berserker, and they chests only had 9 platinum in them for her! I don't know if it is a randomly generated amount that changes, or if my getting 10,000 plat per chest was a "bug" that got fixed.
Occasionally they dropped exquisite chests too, but those contained only one of two items:
Near the smoldering toads I found another named: Toadaly Blayzed.
Killing him got me:

The Matchstick Men!
They were on my list of "anything of consequence" to slay, so I attacked them.
I managed to kill them without dying myself, and received:
