Notes
Players enter Grommash Hold to find Garrosh Hellscream in a particularly foul mood.

- Garrosh Hellscream says: Undercity, five thousand twenty-two in arrears.
- Garrosh Hellscream says: Silvermoon, over nine thousand...
- Garrosh Hellscream says: Enough! The realms will carry their weight or crumble beneath mine!

- Garrosh Hellscream says: Nazgrim, lift my spirits with news of victory.
- General Nazgrim says: At once.
As the general speaks, a naval battle plays out...
- General Nazgrim says: I am pleased to report that the battle goes well, Warchief.
- General Nazgrim says: Our forces report major victories off the coasts of Tanaris and Tol Barad...
- General Nazgrim says: After intense fighting, our supply route to Booty Bay has been reestablished.
- Garrosh Hellscream says: Alliance blood spills. This pleases me, General.
- Garrosh Hellscream says: What of (placeholder name operation)? How fares my precious cargo?
- Goblin Survivor says: There is news, Warchief.
- Garrosh Hellscream says: Speak, goblin...
- Goblin Survivor says: Y-yes sir... right away, sir.
As he speaks, the scene unfolds. The ships are escorted by zeppelins, but then something goes wrong...
- Goblin Survivor says: Things all started out pretty well.
- Goblin Survivor says: We made it past enemy lines - looked like it was gunna be smooth sailin' all the way.
- Goblin Survivor says: Then it happened... all at once! A whole mess of fighters came outta nowhere, sir...

- Goblin Survivor says: S-sailing into a fog bank, last I saw, Alliance in chase... n-no tellin' what became of 'em, sir...
Disgusted and enraged, Garrosh flings the survivor away, killing him in the process. Nazgrim tries to maintain a cool demeanor...
- General Nazgrim says: With all respect, Warchief, what's done is done. We must now focus our efforts on how to proceed...
