Description
I was sent here under the auspices of Thrall. Do you actually think these buffoons could capture me? I allowed myself to be captured so that I could gather intelligence.
<Gor'shak whispers.>
The Princess of Ironforge has been kidnapped by Emperor Thaurissan. Princess Bronzebeard is in this very city! I bet old Magni's heart almost stopped when he heard that news.
<Gor'shak laughs.>
Shhh! Do you hear that? Guards coming! DEFEND YOURSELF!
In progress
Defend yourself, fool!
Completion
That was a close call. They have been alerted to your presence... more will surely come.
