took 3 tries-- she kept aggroing 2 behind me. i never read the comments before doing it so i didn't know it was "impossible" at 30 -- all it takes is a little strategy and it took 3 tries to figure it out.

I took down the elite and one mob but aggroed more and died. I spawned at Adso's camp, ran across to Gytha, went back in and she was still alive and all I had to do was keep the remaining mobs off her. Quest complete!! :-)
I guess I got lucky. It was tough, but not impossible. I ran up and saw the wargs coming, picked off the sig first. Then ran back to pick up the regs. I saw 4 regs and the sig.
Complete in two tries at level 30. First I followed the road through town NE to flank the incoming Signature and 4 regulars. Then I pulled the Signature to me (away from the pack), took him down. Drank a health potion. Picked off the regulars one-by-one. The regulars are very easy compared to the signature. The 4th regular was attacking my NPC by the time I got to him but he went down quick and my NPC was never in any real danger.
Tip: The first try I took down the regulars first but by the time I got to the Signature he was on the NPC. I wasn't able to save the NPC. :(
Impossible to complete at level 30 when you get the quest. Even if you head north as suggested at top speed, the first mobs that appear (each time I attempted it) are level 27 elites. You'll not get 1 killed before you have 4-5 regular level worgs swarming on you. Come back a few levels later.
There are more wargs than the write-up suggests. The hunter must overcome his tendency for cautious stalking and attack fiercely. After Gyntha's second speech ("look to the north"), take off north at top speed. Go a bit beyond the stone fence to where the wargs will spawn. There, you'll have an opportunity to attack them by ones and twos as the hunter prefers. If you wait too long they'll join forces and form a pack. That's bad.
When I did it there were 5 Wargs total, 4 regulars, and 1 signature. I rushed north to the opposite side of the brick wall, and attacked the 4 regulars wargs, making sure to not aggro the signature. Once they were all dead I rushed back to town. Just as I got there, the Signature was starting to attack the NPC, and together we killed him fairly easily. Only took 2 tries. The first time I tried to take them in town neglecting what the quest said... Not a good idea!
