The Quest should give you an ID # for the monster group you need to
destroy. Put them on your "hostile list" and enter their square. If you
don't
destroy them all in the first combat you can keep coming back to that
square in following turns to whittle them down because they will usually
still be there (even if they're not listed on the map as a "seen" group).
