Description

The Scourge can strike anytime, anywhere.

To counter their unpredictability, I sent forces to secure key locations along the southern road heading east, though some time has passed, and I have yet to receive any reports from our scouts in the field.

With the erratic nature of these attacks, I fear the worst.

Travel the road and see what you can uncover. I'll be expecting a full report when you return.

Light be with you, <name>.

Rewards

You will receive:

• 11 70
• +10 reputation with Argent Crusade

Progress

Gregor sent you?

Completion

This is far worse than we thought.

Commander Gregor must be told of the true extent of the Scourge's resurgence.

Notes

On accept:

Commander Gregor says: And make sure you bring Lieutenant Vernon up to speed before you return. He will be awaiting your initial reports in Darkshire.

Eastern Kingdoms

Head south to Goldshire. All seems normal. Speak with Lenna:

We must remain vigilant against the Scourge.

 Gregor sent me to gather reports. Do you have any news?

Our patrols report outbreaks of Scourge activity to the east. Our forces are shaken, but holding the line.

I sent a scout to speak with Guard Captain Josephine in Redridge. They have yet to return.

The player receives  [Elwynn Report].

Head east to Three Corners, just across the border into Redridge Mountains. Some Bloodthirsty Ghouls are attacking as a Frostwyrm occasionally strafes the area, freezing friend and foe alike!

Stormwind Guard says: Be careful, <class>. The Scourge is everywhere!

Guard Captain Josephine yells: Reinforcements will arrive soon enough. Hold your positions!

Speak with Josephine:

<Guard Captain Josephine scans the surrounding area.>

Speak quickly.

 Gregor sent me. The Scourge... they're already here?

The Scourge's presence continues to grow. Without proper reinforcements, Stormwind may soon be under siege.

Deliver this report. Inform Gregor that the situation is more dire than we anticipated.

The player receives  [Redridge Report].

Head southwest across the bridge to Duskwood. Some more Bloodthirsty Ghouls are attacking. Speak with Fairbanks:

<Guard Captain Fairbanks raises his weapon, aiming it threateningly in your direction.>

You...!

Never sneak up on me like that again! I could have killed you!

What are you doing here? It's not safe!

 Commander Gregor sent me to gather reports.

What? Gather the reports?

Our courier should have reached Stormwind long before now!

 They have yet to receive any reports. Give me what you have I'll make sure it gets delivered.

Guard Captain Fairbanks says: You should check up on Vernon in Darkshire. If it's this bad here, I can't imagine what his forces must be facing.

The player receives  [Duskwood Report].

Follow the road southwest to Darkshire. The town is under siege by Frostwyrms, Vengeful Geists, Risen Fiends, and Shambling Horrors.

PTR version

The subject of this section did not make it out of the PTR stages of patch 9.0.1.

Objectives

Speak with Lenna in Goldshire:

What brings you to Elwynn?

Obtaining the scout report from Crusader Lenna

Our patrols reported a few Scourge sightings to the east, but nothing unexpected.

I've sent a scout to speak with Guard Captain Josephine in Redridge, but they've yet to return.

Obtaining the scout report from Guard Captain Josephine

I'm afraid it's been this way for some time. Without proper reinforcements Stormwind may be next.

Take this report. Tell them it's worse than we thought.

Obtaining the scout report from Guard Captain Fairbanks

Early PTR

 No report has reached the capital. Give me what you have I'll make sure it gets delivered.

Later PTR

I sent our courier on his way hours ago!

 They have yet to receive any reports. Give me what you have I'll make sure it gets delivered.

Guard Captain Fairbanks says: You should check in with Vernon and his men just down the road in Darkshire. If it's bad here, I can't even imagine what they're up against.

Completion

This is worse than I thought.

The commander will be expecting a full report.
