An Unholy Alliance

Malcin claims he is outside Razorfen Downs. This ambassador must be slain--his mission a failure in the eyes of the Lich King.

His presence there does explain much of what we've discovered about the area--some of the quilboar have grown frightfully powerful while showing signs of the Plague in their own way. Truly that must be a sign of some sort of deal they've struck.

Find Malcin and slay him, <name>. Return to me after the deed is done.

Have you found the Ambassador, <name>? Is he dead?

We cannot afford to allow the Scourge to take a foothold on Kalimdor. They are enough of a threat to our own borders to have to deal with them on two fronts.

The only optimistic sign from the events you've told me about is that the crone seemed uncorrupted. She must know deep in her spirit that the Scourge may bring great power, but that the Barrens would not truly be hers if she were to agree to their deal.

Good. Well done, <class>.

Now that Malcin is dead, we can at least know that the Scourge's advances will be halted. The Dark Lady thanks you for your efforts and wishes to reward you with a gift.

Although we do not know the extent of the Scourge's influence within the Downs, I am sure we will discover their plots soon enough.
