What's all this about, <class>?
Completion
Gorka...
We must always be prepared for losses. Her honorable service to the Horde will not be forgotten.
And her sacrifice shall not be in vain!
Notes
This quest would frequently bug-out and become uncompletable if multiple players tried doing it at the same time. As if to rectify this, patch 8.3.0 changed this quest entirely into a single cutscene.
- Speaking with Gorka
- Hurry, <class>! There is no time to waste!
- Splintertree must not fall!
I am ready, Gorka. To Kadrak!
Brutusk charges from the Warsong Lumber Camp on the western road, the adventurer and Gorka on its back. Several Ashenvale Bowman appear from the woods and begin firing at the kodo to no avail. Ashenvale Skirmishers attempt to leap onto Brutusk, but Gorka cuts them down. Eventually, an Ashenvale Commander appears in front of Brutusk with a squad of sentinels.
- Ashenvale Commander says: That's far enough, orc! Dismount and submit or die!
- Gorka says: Out of our way, fools!
Despite a rain of arrows, Brutusk barrels through the sentinels, knocking the commander aside. Finally, the party arrives at the Mor'shan Rampart, but it is revealed that Gorka did not make it, having been shot through the chest by one of the elves' arrows.
- Upon accept
- Follow me, <name>! Hurry!
- Gorka runs up to the center of the camp.
- Gorka calls for Brutusk!
- Gorka whistles, and Brutusk appears. She and the adventurer mount Brutusk.
- Gorka says: To Mor'shan!!
- As Brutusk rides on, Gorka shoots down the elves, until they are blocked by a squad.
- Ashenvale Assailant yells: That's far enough, <race>! Dismount and submit or die!
- Gorka yells: Out of our way, fools!
- Ashenvale Assailant yells: Kill her!!
- Ashenvale Assailant yells: Shoot!
- Ashenvale Assailant yells: Fire!!
- Ashenvale Assailant yells: Ahhh!
- Gorka says: Unghh!
- Volleys of arrows fire from both sides.
- Gorka says: Hurry, Brutusk, I'm wounded!
- As they march on, Gorka continues to fire arrows at enemies.
- At the rampart, Gorka collapses.
- Gorka says: I am... finished...
