The Norwington Attack

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: Behold the fruit of your labors. Derek Proudmoore... the corpse you recovered from the depths of the sea.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: It shall prove a valuable weapon in our war against Kul Tiras. A dagger to plunge into the very heart of House Proudmoore.... when the time is right.

Lady Sylvanas Windrunner says: And thanks to your efforts, the Horde has secured the might of the Zandalari fleet. All that remains to finish breaking our foes... then we will have victory in this war.

Rexxar says: You did well, Zelling. Until we meet again.

Thomas Zelling says: Rexxar, wait, is there... any news from my family? How are they doing?

Rexxar says: Is it wise to dwell on your former life? Are you sure you want to know?

Thomas Zelling says: I do. More than anything.

Rexxar says: Your family's well. Your wife purchased a small home within Arom's Stand in Drustvar, and your children are well fed.

Thomas Zelling says: That's... good. But how? We spent everything we had before my death--I mean, my transformation.

Rexxar says: You asked Lilian Voss that they be taken care of. She made sure they were.

Thomas Zelling says: Miss Voss... I will have to thank her. And you as well, Rexxar, for indulging me. It sets my mind at ease knowing they live well.

Rexxar says: Stay safe, Zelling. And remember... this is now enemy territory for you.

The Gallywix Plan

Trade Prince Gallywix says: What ddo you mean the operation got stopped by a bunch of Azerite goop comin' outta the ground?!

Patch says: Boss, this is the fifth time we've had this talk, I really don't know why you think askin' me over and over again is gonna change anythin'.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Fine. I'll just do it myself! And by do it myself, I mean get <player> over here to do it for me.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Whew! This baby can really move. Imagine what it'll do to the Alliance!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: They ain't expectin' us to team up in a G.M.O.D. and create some chaos!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: And if anything goes wrong, roadsidde assistance will come fix it. I got my guys to throw in a warranty at no extra charge!

Professor Krazzlefrazz says: Boss, <player>! You two gotta help, we got merchs from here to Arom's Crossing!



After pressing the big red button

Trade Prince Gallywix says: They got Krazzlefrazz handled now, let's go deal with the rest of the army up ahead!

Remote-Controlled Mechawolf says: *BZZT* This is sad, Gallywix! My creations are far stronger than yours!

Remote-Controlled Mechawolf says: *BZZT* That mech of yours is a serious safety hazard!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: We're cookin' with gas now, AZERITE gas! Hit the big redd button and let's see what this thing can really do.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: hHAHAHA! Take a good look at what gold and goblins can getcha, Mekkatorque. This baby is brimmin' with Azerite!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Now that's what I'm talkin' about, look at all that Azerite! All that destruction... all that POWER!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Now THIS is what I paid for! Mekkatorque's got nothin' on this.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Let's get back to the base, see if we can findd where Mekkatorque is controlling these things.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Huh, feels weird actually doin' somethin' for someone else. Is this what you do all the time?

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Gotta say, I'm not a fan. Think I'll leave this sorta thing to you in the future.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: There's Mekkatorque's ship. King of the gnomes, or whatever those little freaks like to call him.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: He thinks he's sooooo much better than goblins! Yeah, well, you know what pal, at least half of us ain't RADIOACTIVE!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: You know what I'm gonna do when I find this guy? First, I'm gonna blow up that little mech suit of his.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Then, I'm gonna find MORE of his little machines andd blow them up too!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Seriously, this guy is really obsessed with machines. Makes me think he wants to be part robot or somethin'!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: You think he's actually part robot? Might explain why he's so freakin' annoying!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, blowing up all his stuff. Yeah, I bet he'd be cryin' and sobbin' the entire time, what a wimp!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: And then, I'm gonna sell all those junk parts of his at BELOW MARKET RATE. The ultimate goblin insult!

High Tinker Mekkatorque says: Wow, Gallywix, that would really show me! Any more clever ideas?

Trade Prince Gallywix says: GAH! <player>, hit the big redd button, BLOW THIS MOOK TO SMITHERINGS!

G.M.O.D says: ERROR. AZERITE AMMUNITION DEPLETED.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Out of Azerite?! Why didn't this stupidd thing warn me it was out!

High Tinker Mekkatorque says: See, Gallywix, this is the reason why the Horde will never win. You're not smart enough to outwit me!

High Tinker Mekkatorque says: Well, bye bye!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: No no nonononono!



After blacking out

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Ugh... are we dead Is this how Sylvanas always feels?

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Nope... not ddead. Just wishing we were dead. This must be how Sylvanas always feels.

Trade Prince Gallywix Hologram says: Remember Jastor, you're good enough, you're smart enough, and people HAVE to like you!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Uh, hey that's weird, who the heck put that in my mech?! I'm gonna get to the bottom of this... just never mention this to anyone. Ever.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Here comes the roadside assistance. See, that's what I'm talkin' about, fast service with a smile!

Grugg says: Roadside help here now, boss. Where move mech to?

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Alright, here we go! We got the fuel, we got the plan, and we got the hands to push buttons to make it happen!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: We're gonna show Mekkatorque that we ain't so stupid after all. Once his ship's on fire, we'll land on it and send iut one of them SOS things.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: He's gonna be flying back, and I bet he'll be all, oh no, I've been outwitted by Gallywix, he destroyed my ship, I better save everyone!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Then when he gets there, we'll tag team him! I'll take him from the mech, you do, uh, whatever is you do outside of it.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: That's the part where you and me blow him up on his burnin' airship. You can't get more dramatic than that!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: I'm so excited, all my chins are shakin'! One thing at a time, let's blow up that ship.



After Mekkatorque arrives

G.M.O.D says: Take this, ya radioactive freak! Gallywix's special Azerite blast, it'll let <player> tear through that armor of yours!

High Tinker Mekkatorque says: Gallywix, <player>! I should've destroyedd you when I had the chance, you'll pay for this!

High Tinker Mekkatorque says: This ship is coming apart... you won't be so lucky next time, Gallywix!

G.M.O.D says: Oh, I ain't lettin' you go, we're finishin' this here and now!

High Tinker Mekkatorque says: Hah, Gallywix, my Proto Layered Optimal Titan Armor will keep me safe from any of your pitiful attacks!

High Tinker Mekkatorque says: Behold the ultra magnetizer! It'll keep you stuck on this ship and short-circuit your pitiful robot.

High Tinker Mekkatorque says: It's been really NOT nice knowing the both of you, hbave fun in whatever afterlife you go to!

G.M.O.D: HEY! What the heck kindda cheap... an indestructible shield AND he disables us?! You ever have this happen to you, <player>?



After Mekkatorque escapes

Trade Prince Gallywix says: We almost had him. BAH! Stupid explodin' ship.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: I'm gonna spend a WHOLE lotta gold to find a way through that stupid armor of his.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Next time I see that little freak, I'm gonna kill him!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: I guess we should look on the bright side. We blew up a ship, killed a bunch of robots, and kept our Azerite safe!

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Heh heh... I never woulda thought this is where things would end up, after I told Sylvanas about Azerite.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Y'know, every now and then I think, should I have really told Sylvanas about this whole Azerite thing?

Trade Prince Gallywix says: If ya really think about it, if no one ever found out about this stuff, maybe we never woulda started this whole war.

Trade Prince Gallywix says: Coulda avoided burnin' ddown that tree, might still have the undead city... it really makes ya think, ddon't it?

Trade Prince Gallywix says: ... HAH! I'm just kiddin'! Of course I don't care about that stuff, I'm flyin' a freakin' mech that shoots lasers made outta the planet's blood!

The Ashvane Rescue

Nathanos: The Dark Lady wishes to gain another potential ally in the fight against the Alliance. Lady Ashvane, head of the Ashvane Company, was one of the greatest enemies of Kul Tiras until her capture. We are going to release her. Meet Valtrois in Tiragarde Sound. She and Rexxar are working out a plan to break Ashvane out.

Rexxar: ...but we can follow the Warchief's plan for now. One guilty human out is worth the lives that will be spared.

Valtrois: I still have an uneasiness, Rexxar. I advise caution in doing as one is told, when it is against their better judgment.

Valtrois: However, in this case, you may be correct in it bringing more good than harm.

Valtrois: Even my magic is not potent enough to cover up that smell.

Warden Amical: We've been huntin' for this one. A prize indeed!

Valtrois: Officer! This is the infamous Horde criminal Rexxar. He belongs in the deepest, darkest corner of this dungeon!

Rexxar: Hmph. You are taking this a bit far.

Warden Amical: Watch that jawin' back there, prisoner!

Warden Amical: We'll take ya to the brig. You're on your own from there.

Warden Amical: Maybe afterwards, we'll give ya a proper tour. It's a lovely place!

Ashvane: I told you before..you will get nothing from...Hmm, what have we here?

Valtrois: It seems the time for subtlety has passed.

Rexxar: You are to come with us, Ashvane.

Ashvane: Release my men. They should prove quite adept at keeping the guards occupied.

Rexxar: Let the hunt begin!

Ashvane: You only broke me out of that cell because you need something from me.

Sylvanas: Very perceptive, Lady Ashvane. I believe we have...mutual interests to discuss.

Rexxar: Seems we need to find our own way back.

Valtrois: Such is the way of things.

Valtrois: This war has taken many turns. It seems to me our current path is...perilous.

Rexxar: Indeed, my friend. The Horde is at a crossroads...once again.

Prepare for War

Rastakhan: Alliance forces are marching through Nazmir. Hey have taken de Blood Gate!

Talanji: Day mean to establish a staging ground for an attack on Zuldazar. Our scouts have reported a large fleet assembling off de coast.

Rastakhan: We must retake our territory and destroy dis fleet.

Baine: Our forces have come to know the wilds of Nazmir. We can rout the Alliance, so long as we fight together with the Zandalari.

Rastakhan: Agreed. We must strike as one, on all fronts. Talanji, lend your aid at de Blood Gate while we prepare our armies.

Nathanos: I will rally the Horde's forces. This is our chance to end this war...on our terms.

Talanji: De warriors here tell me Rokhan made a heroic stand, holding off de Alliance and dere champions before being defeated. Rokhan is still here within de Blood Gate, held captive by some strange creature called a Lightforge. I must stay here and help hold de line. I need you to rescue Rokhan!

Telaamon: The Horde will be purged, for the good of Azeroth!

Telaamon: The Alliance's attack will not be thwarted!

Rokhan: I be makin' me way ta da princess, day got Zul'jan ruins!

Talanji: Explain yourselves. We have two armies sitting around instead of attacking de Alliance.

Hexlord Raal: We cannot fly through dis fog, we have already lost several warriors to it. De Alliance are trying to delay our attack!

Nathanos: And the Alliance dogs have the area trapped. We cannot march our army through here.

Patch: We got a way to solve all this, Princess. The A.F.M.O.D! ...but the Alliance roughed it up and stole a bunch of its parts.

Patch: But if you can rescue my crew and get the parts back, I can have this thing fixed in no time to take back our stuff!

Yo! We gotta get the rest of the Gob Squad back if we wanna fix the A.F.M.O.D.! So, our mech got trashed. It was rough. The rest of the Gob Squad are hidin' out there, waiting for word when it's safe. Take this tracker. It'll tell ya when you're getting close to one of the squad. When you get real close, you should see 'em. That'll tell any of the squad nearby that it's safe to come outta hidin' and come back here. With the right goblins and parts, we'll be killing Alliance in no time!



Alright, so, we're goin' after the Alliance through this crazy fog. We gotta retake Zo'bal ruins up ahead. We can do that real easy if we fix up our mech, A.F.M.O.D - a flying mech of death! The Alliance wrecked it in their initial attack and took a bunch of its parts. Get those parts back and we'll have this thing fixed in no time!

Rokhan: We be takin' back most of Nazmir now. Once we be takin' Zalamar, we can be assaultin' de Kul Tiran fleet.

Talanji: Not before we destroy de source of dis fog. It is rendering our flyers useless. It is close to Zalamar, I can feel it.

Rokhan: Dey be clever, I'll give 'em dat. Dey be using dis fog to be givin' dem an advantage in dis cursed place.

Talanji: Day were not counting on our forces being unified against dem. We will crush de Kul Tiran fleet and end dis war.

Rokhan: Telaamon, de Lightbringer leadin' dis assault, be in Hir'eek's cave. He must be thinkin' he can take us all by himself. When he is dead, we be sendin' dis assault force into chaos, allowin' us ta be marchin' on de Alliance along de shore. And hopefully, we can be findin' de source of de fog and destroyin' it. Da three of us be ambushin' Telaamon once ya start fightin'. He ain't gettin' outta here alive.

Telaamon: I have fought the Burning Legion for thousands of years, the Horde stands no chance against my blade!

Telaamon: The Light is on my side, this cursed place will be your grave!



Telaamon stuns all the other NPCs, except for the player:

Rokhan: Finish dis guy off, it be up ta ya!

Telaamon: I will slay you and then finish off these other fiends!

Telaamon: I have...fulfilled..my oath. Now...I will...rest...

Rokhan: It be over. Time ta let Talanji know we can be movin' forward ta destroy de fleet and de source of dis fog.

Abyssal Scepter

Rakera: Princess Talanji, de source of de fog is de artifact de Horde champion stole from de Kul Tirans.

Talanji: How could dat be? It was given to my father and placed within de treasurey.

Rakera: I just received a report dat de treasury was broken into. De Alliance must have stolen de artifact.

Talanji: Den we will use de artifact against dem. It limits both our visions and dares.

Talanji: When de fog lifts, I will unleash my power upon de Alliance fleet until our support arrives.

Talanji: Prepare yourselves, when de fog lifts, we will charge de fleet, and Real shall assault dem with our aerial forces!



Talanji: ...Nothing? Where is de army? De fleet?

Talanji: What? Here is no fleet...no army. What is going on here?

Raal: I cannot believe dis, tricked by de Alliance! Dey sacrificed all deserve soldiers to bring us away from de city.

Raal: Does explosion I heard..dat must have been de Zandalari fleet!

Raal: If de Alliance somehow destroyed de fleet, den de harbor is completely defenseless. Dey will be swarming de city!

Raal: Zuldazar will not fall to dense Alliance. We are strong and we are united!

Raal: And I swear, we will kill every member of de Alliance who has dared strike against us!

The King's Death

Nathanos: King Rastakhan is dead, the Zandalari fleet has been decimated, and we have lost valuable soldiers. The Dark Lady is on her way from Orgrimmar to assess the situation. We must figure out our next move before the Alliance strike again. I believe protocol now would be to pay respects to the fallen king. We will determine our next move afterwards.

Talanji: Thank you for coming. Zuldazar is still reeling from de Alliance attack. My people's faith has been shaken..and so has my own.

Baine: I too know the pain of losing a father. If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask.

Nathanos: You have seen firsthand the treachery of the Alliance. Let your grief be sated by vengeance against them.

Baine: This is not the time to speak of revenge, Blightcaller!

Nathanos: Enough! The Warchief has arrived.

Sylvanas: I'll admit, I did not think the Little Lion had it in him to kill King Rastakhan. Blood has been spilled, and vengeance must be had. Give me a moment to express my condolences, then come with me. We have more to do to win this war.

Sylvanas: My condolences on your loss, princess. Excuse me...Queen Talanji.

Talanji: Titles mean little to me now. I must know...with de Zandalari navy in ruins, does de Horde intend to abandon us?

Sylvanas: We do not turn our back on our allies, Talanji. The war campaign has taken an unfortunate turn, to be certain...but our cause is not lost.

Nathanos: My queen...reports are coming in from all outposts. The Alliance is tightening its grip. Victory is within their grasp.

Baine: Perhaps we can open negotiations--

Sylvanas: The Alliance slays the leader of the Zandalari, and you speak of negotiations?

Sylvanas: No. This war will not end until we stand victorious. Until the Little Lion kneels before my throne.

Sylvanas: Meet me aboard the Banshee's Wail. I have a plan to ensure the Proudmoore family pays dearly for Rastakhan's death.



PLACEHOLDER - Cutscene of Derek Proudmoore being revived, Baine getting angry about it.

Please... help me. I... I don't know what's happened. What's been done to me.

I remember the battle. Orcish dragon riders. Our decks consumed by flame. I felt a blaze of agony, and then... darkness.

I was... dead, wasn't I? For how long? I am not quite alive, and yet... I don't understand this. Please... PLEASE... how is this possible?

Where is my father? My mother? Jaina... Tandred... please... I'm so alone. Don't leave me alone...

Nathanos: Derek Proudmoore will be twisted to become a weapon against Katherine and Jaina Proudmoore.



The Alliance brought an army to kill Rastakhan. All we'll need is one Forsaken to kill their leaders.
