Objectives
Find Angus Ballaster at the Corlain Armory.
- Angus Ballaster found [24.5, 37.2]
- Defeat the coven ambush
Description
The Armory presents us a ripe opportunity, <class>... one I suggest we take.
If this battle were to draw out, we have little means to repair our arms and armor. A blacksmith is invaluable to any war effort, and Ballaster is one of our best.
The Armory is but a short ride from here. I suggest you get to Ballaster before it's too late!
Rewards
You will receive:
- 23 40
- [Small Azerite Fragment] (50x [Azerite])
- 16,450 XP
- +75 reputation with Order of Embers
Progress
The blacksmith won't survive long with the coven hunting him down.
I'd recommend leaving posthaste.
Completion
Our fortunes are turning up.
Having a blacksmith at the tower will ensure our Inquisitors stay equipped for battle.
Notes
Just outside the Corlain Armory, Inquisitor Yorrick starts [20-60] Digging for Scraps.
Ballaster is in the cellar beneath the house:
- Angus Ballaster says: Get back, or ye'll be meetin' my hammer!
- Angus Ballaster says: Wait... yer not one o' them!
Speak with him:
- It's a blessin' te see someone that dun have that dark glow in their eyes. I was beginnin te think there was no one left these blasted witches didn't put a curse on.
- Angus Ballaster at yer service. What ye be doin in a blighted hellhole like this?
We could use a blacksmith to help fight the coven.
- Well, I don't know ye from a hole in the hull, but an enemy of the coven is a friend of mine. Plus, it'll be easier to get outta here with an extra blade at me side.
- Ye say the word and we'll be outta here.
Let's go.
- Angus Ballaster says: Alright, ye jus' lead the way...
- Inquisitor Yorrick says: You found him! We should leave quickly. The coven has this place surrounded!
- Inquisitor Yorrick says: Wait... what was that?
- Heartsbane Sister yells: They're in here! Flush them out!
- Angus steps forward, hefting his hammer.
- Angus Ballaster says: Just ye try! Ye'll taste my hammer, witch!
Defeat the ambushers:
- Heartsbane Sister says: You cannot escape... the Mother...
- Angus Ballaster says: Ah, cram it, ye foul-tongued nag. Yer "Mother" can rot in the bowels of a sea snake!
- Inquisitor Yorrick says: If you're finished, I think we should be leaving here.
- Angus Ballaster says: Aye, ye be correct there. Lead the way!
- They head up the stairs.
- Inquisitor Yorrick says: I will escort Ballaster back to Watchman's Rise. I will meet you there presently.
