Notes Edit

Make your way up to the top of the hill and Orkus will stop you.

Kingslayer Orkus says: STOP! GET DOWN, <name>!

Kingslayer Orkus says: Look there, near the map table! The Stormpike Battle Master holds the Alliance battle plans!

Kingslayer Orkus says: I... I have a plan of my own.

Kingslayer Orkus says: I will kill the guard at the table and then I will draw the attention of the trio.

Kingslayer Orkus says: While I have them distracted you get the plans from the guard's corpse. I will call Kasha to pick you up as soon as I see you get the plans.

Kingslayer Orkus says: Do not worry about Orkus, <name>. I... I will be fine.

Kingslayer Orkus says: Tell me when you are ready and we will go!

"Are you ready? You will have to act quickly, <name>. I do not know how long I can hold them all off for! Get the plans and get out!"

I'm ready, Orkus. let's do this!

Kingslayer Orkus runs to the table and attacks the Stormpike Battle Master, killing her instantly.

Kingslayer Orkus yells: GET THE PLANS AND GO!

Kingslayer Orkus charges the trio of Ivar Bloodfang, Balinda Stonehearth and Vanndar Stormpike and starts fighting.

Kingslayer Orkus yells: CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE LOK'TAR IS COOKIN'?!

Vanndar Stormpike yells: There's no gettin' away this time, orc! You've sung your last lok'tar!

Kingslayer Orkus yells: KASHA, GET <name> OUT OF HERE!

Kingslayer Orkus yells: FORGET ABOUT ME, KASHA! GO!

Kasha flies on and picks you up, watching as Orkus' health drops, but flies around and picks him up before he dies, throwing him up to sit behind you.

Kingslayer Orkus says: K... Kasha... you... came back for me...

Kingslayer Orkus says: You are the best friend that Orkus has ever had, <name>. *Orkus coughs*

Kingslayer Orkus says: I... I never knew anyone like you. You saved me, <name>. More than once. I... I know it's selfish, but I have something to ask of you.

Kingslayer Orkus says: Please take care of Kasha. Make sure she finds a cold place to live.

Kingslayer Orkus says: Somewhere safe...

Kingslayer Orkus dies. Kasha later lands at Tarren Mill with you and Orkus' lifeless body.

High Warlord Cromush says: What happened? What have you got in your hands there?

High Warlord Cromush reads the Alliance battle plan.

High Warlord Cromush says: He... He died to get this here?

High Warlord Cromush lifts Orkus' lifeless body up.

High Warlord Cromush says: Do not mourn Orkus. He died with honor... with pride. He died a hero of the Horde.

High Warlord Cromush says: From Lordaeron to Kalimdor, they will know his name and they will sing songs of glory, praising the fallen champion of the Horde.

High Warlord Cromush says: Know that what you did will save hundreds, maybe thousands of lives. You are also a true hero of the Horde, <name>.
