Notes

On accept:

Gryan says: I don't like this, <name>. Stay alert!

Hope walks out from the tower to Gryan

Hope says: You bastards will burn for what you did.

Gryan says: Hope! Wha..

Hope says: Hope? Is that what I was supposed to feel when I saw my father decapitated by your henchmen?

Hope says: Hope is a cruel joke, played upon us by a harsh and uncaring world. There is no Hope, there is only Vanessa. Vanessa VanCleef.

Hope sheds her disguise, revealing herself as Vanessa VanCleef!

Vanessa yells: RISE UP BROTHERHOOD! THE DAWNING DAY IS UPON US!

A large number of blackguards spawn around the friendlies

Vanessa says: Tie them up.

Vanessa walks up to Ripsnarl, freeing him from the stock.

Vanessa says: Admiral, your hat.

Ripsnarl gains his human form.

Admiral Ripsnarl says: Thank you, my dear.

Vanessa says: And you, <name>. I will spare your life. You have done much to help our cause, albeit unwittingly, but the next time we meet it will be as enemies.

Laine says: Just tell me one thing, Vanessa.

Laine says: Why'd you have the Furlbrows killed?

Vanessa says: I had no choice, lieutenant. They recognized me. They only people in the world who even knew I existed, recognized my face from when I was an infant.

Vanessa says: I took no pleasure in their deaths.

Vanessa yells: Leave nothing but ashes in your wake, brothers! Burn Sentinel Hill to the ground!

The blackguards throw flares, setting Sentinel Tower alight.

Gryan says: <name>, get to Stormwind. Tell King Wrynn everything. EVERYTHING! GO NOW!

Conveniently, Thor, the flight master, is still in phase. Take a quick trek to Storwmwind to warn Varian.
