Notes
- Gar'dul's gossip text during the quest
- Don't delay, he's - ah - he's almost here!
- Meet me at the top of the northernmost tower.
Once you reach the top of the tower, the following event will take place:
- Warlord Gar'dul says: Thank you, <name>. I trust you will, ah, defer to my authority on this matter.
- Warlord Bloodhilt says: So this is where you're hiding Gar'dul.
- Warlord Gar'dul says: Hiding? Listen Bloodhilt - I've, ah, reinforced our grip on the Barrens.
- Warlord Bloodhilt says: You cower behind your walls! If it wasn't for <name> here the Alliance would be marching through Mulgore.
- Warlord Gar'dul says: But they've, ah, they've gotten reinforcements! From the Eastern Kingdoms. Whereas I've been, ah, cut off -
- Warlord Bloodhilt says: Your excuses sicken me! Consider yourself relieved from command.
- Warlord Gar'dul says: Relieved? Over my dead body!
- Warlord Bloodhilt says: So! You DO have a spine.
- Warlord Gar'dul turns hostile! Defeat him together with Warlord Bloodhilt!
- Warlord Gar'dul says: Wait, ah - wait! I yield. I yield!
- Warlord Bloodhilt says: Yield? You ... YIELD?
- Warlord Bloodhilt says: What part of "Victory or Death" don't you understand?
- Bloodhilt grabs Gar'dul and throws him out of the window!
- Warlord Bloodhilt says: Garrosh's Horde does not tolerate failure.
- Warlord Bloodhilt says: Meet me down below and we'll discuss our upcoming counter-attack.
A Desolation Hold guard patrols the tower and if present will aid the player and Bloodhilt in beating Gar'dul.
