Objectives

Protect Huldar and the Ironband Caravan, and then inform Prospector Ironband.

• Protect the Ironband Caravan

Description

We need to get this powder to Ironband, but this cart isn't going anywhere now. It'll be a lot for us to carry, and these parts can get dangerous -- and who knows what else the Dark Irons might have in store for us now that Saean is with them.

I'll feel a lot better if you helped me watch over things. Miran can offload the powder kegs at camp while you and I protect the cart.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards:

	[Ironband Legguards]			[Foreman Gloves]
	[Dastardly Bracers]			[Foreman Handguards]

You will also receive:

• 5 65
• 930 XP
• +250 reputation with Ironforge

Progress

I'm glad to finally have my powder! We're on top of some amazing discoveries.

Completion

It is troubling news that you bring. To think that the Dark Irons have sympathizers able to procure this sort of material for their dastardly plans.

That's a matter for someone else to consider, some other time. Thank you for protecting Huldar and the cart!

Notes

An escort quest! Protect the shipment. Kill the Dark Irons.

On acceptance:

Miran says: I'm off. Stay safe - I'll be back as quickly as I'm able.

Huldar says: I appreciate your help in this. We never would have suspected Saean as a sympathizer - we just weren't prepared for this.

Two Dark Iron Ambushers approach.

Dark Iron Ambusher yells: We have need of your explosives. I'll take pleasure in killing you for them.

The PC and Huldar kill the ambushers. Another ambusher appears, accompanied by Saean.

Saean says: Sorry, Huldar... But it seems I've misled you.

The PC and Huldar kill the other ambusher and Saean.

Huldar says: Good work! I'm glad to see some revenge taken on that traitor. Go ahead and take the path Miran did to the east and let Prospector Ironband know we're all set. I'm sure he'll have some work for you as well.
