Objectives

Kill any 15 Blackrock troops on your way to Chiselgrip.

• Blackrock troop slain x15

Description

We're headed to Chiselgrip, right in the center of these steppes. We'll rendezvous with the Thorium Brotherhood there, as well as with Trotemen.

You familiar with the Brotherhood? Those dark iron dwarves have helped me out more than once. We may need their help once again.

We'll pass through Black Tooth Hovel on our way there. What do you say we kill a few orcs while we travel? I'm getting a little restless here in this camp.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

	[Oreknuckle Gun]			[Unburdened Pauldrons]
	[Black Tooth Helm]			[Vest of Welcome]

You also will receive: 75

Completion

You'll have to excuse me, but we're not taking visitors right now. I'll ask you to leave Chiselgrip out the same door you came in.

Oh, Keeshan... is that you?

Notes

On accept, Keeshan/Ariok will join the player on the trek across the steppes. Mount up and head to Black Tooth Hovel, then start killing. Keeshan/Ariok is more than capable of going it alone, but help him out to speed up the process and to actually get credit for the kills. After killing 15, head to the center of the zone to reach Chiselgrip, where Oreknuckle awaits. Don't forget the flight path! After turning in, Keeshan can be found south of Oreknuckle's position, speaking with Troteman. For Horde players, Ariok can be found to the west, speaking with Eitrigg!
