Quest text

According to the Deathguard, another one of those foolish Dwarven Mountaineers has just been captured. The Deathguard likes to use the cellar of the Gallows End Tavern as a holding cell until prisoners can be "properly" dealt with.

Why don't you go see how the Captured Mountaineer enjoys this special drink I made for him? It contains a subtle hint of what The Dark Lady has planned for the rest of Azeroth.

Progress

Why if I had my trusted rifle you'd be as good as dead, your class. Just wait until the Steam Tank Brigade arrives to rescue me!

Completion

Ah, a drink at last. I'm sure it's no Rhapsody Malt but I'll take anything to whet the old whistle at this point.
