Transcript
Intro
- Anub'arak: We have entered the Old Kingdom. Be wary, death knight. Whatever scared the dwarves still lurks down here somewhere.
During the Mission
- Anub'arak: Wait--the towers on either side are rigged to fire bolts of frost. This hallway is a deathtrap.
- King Arthas: Can't we disable them?
- Anub'arak: The circular hatch in the far wall is an aqueduct plug. If we can open it, the water might flood the firing mechanisms and disable the entire trap.
- King Arthas: That's done it! Let's move.
- Nerubian: Look, brothers! The traitor king!
- King Arthas: Who, me?
- Anub'arak: He is referring to me, death knight. These nerubians will stop at nothing to destroy us!
- Nerubian: Slay the intruders!
- Nerubian: Death to the servants of Ner'zhul!
- Nerubian: Drive the foul undead back to the surface!
- King Arthas: The guardians are activating! Defend yourselves!
- Anub'arak: The eggs of our young are incubated within those breeding pods. There's no telling how many vicious hatchlings they hold.
- King Arthas: You were right--they're definitely hostile! We've got to destroy the breeding pods!
- Anub'arak: We could also seal the doors to shut the hatchlings in!
- King Arthas: What the hell are they?
- Anub'arak: They are the horrors the dwarves spoke of. I thought they were only legends.
- King Arthas: What?
- Anub'arak: They are the faceless ones...
- Anub'arak: It cannot be...
- Anub'arak: A forgotten one. Look to your defenses, death knight! Fight as you've never fought before!
Optional Mission
- Crypt Fiend: Thank you, great one. The rebel spiders captured my comrades as well! They're being held in a nearby chamber. Release them, and they will be yours to command.
Outro
- Anub'arak: We cannot take them all! Hurry, death knight--up the stairwell! Hurry!
Forces
- Nerubians
Trivia
- The map has two unused units, a blue crab and a red crab, which don't seem to serve any purpose.
- Despite only being encountered in this one scenario, the Forgotten One was edited in the scenario's files. Originally it had Fire Bolt and Charm abilities instead of Breath of Fire, Flamestrike, and Cripple.
