Notes

On accept

With a clap of thunder, the screen blackens for a moment, then fades back in. The storm has intensified, casting darkness and heavy rain over the ship.

Grunt Throg says: Warlord! This storm will soon overwhelm us!

Warlord Breka Grimaxe runs down the stairs from the helm.

Warlord Breka Grimaxe says: Soldiers, brace yourselves!

The crew, aside from Helmsman Da'vees and Apprentice Kutz, gathers on the deck in front of the center mast.

On completion

A brief cinematic plays: Warlord Breka attempts to steady herself against a doorway and looks on in awe as a gigantic wave looms over the ship. It crashes down, destroying the ship and tossing the crew underwater.

• Horde Exile's Reach shipwreck

The camera cuts to the Murloc Hideaway on Exile's Reach. You're lying on the beach, surrounded by curious baby murlocs. They run off as you wake up.

Warlord Breka Grimaxe says: <Name>! You survived! We need to regroup at once.

Bo, Grunt Throg, Mithdran Dawntracker, Lana Jordan, and Provisioner Jin'hake are strewn about the beach, injured. Warlord Breka is kneeling over Throg. She offers the next quest.
