Transcript of the mission[]
Recent orc uprisings in southern Lordaeron have forced the Alliance to take decisive measures. To contain the orcish threat, King Terenas has sent two of the realm's greatest paladins - his son, Prince Arthas, and the legendary Uther the Lightbringer - to deal with the orcs once and for all.
- Uther the Lightbringer
- Welcome, Prince Arthas. The men and I are honored by your presence.
- Arthas
- Can the formalities, Uther. I'm not king yet. It's good to see you.
- Uther the Lightbringer
- You too, lad. I'm pleased that King Terenas sent you to help me.
- Arthas
- Father still hopes your patience and experience might rub off on me.
- Uther the Lightbringer
- It is a father's right to dream, isn't it?
- Arthas
- Look, here's where we stand. Our scouts have confirmed that there is an orc encampment hidden somewhere over the next ridge.
- Uther the Lightbringer
- As I suspected...
- Arthas
- It gets worse. They're preparing to attack the nearby village of Strahnbrad. As far as we know, the village is completely defenseless.
- Uther the Lightbringer
- I need to move against the orcs' base immediately. Can you handle Strahnbrad's defense on your own?
- Arthas
- Of course, Uther. Don't worry about me.
- Uther the Lightbringer
- Good. Meet me at the orc camp once you've saved the village. Be careful, Arthas.
- NEW UNIT ACQUIRED
Footman - Footmen are versatile soldiers equipped for melee combat.
HINT - Use Holy Light to heal wounded units.
During the mission[]
Note: you can visit the village to the south-west to obtain two more footmen and an optional quest.
Farmer Ted: Welcome to our village.
Maria: Hello!
Stephanie: Greetings, milord!
Thornby: We'll fight for Lordaeron. Get your swords!
Alicia: Please, you're my only hope! A group of gnolls kidnapped my little Timmy and took him to their hideout in the forest. Could you find him and bring him home?
- OPTIONAL QUEST
Save Timmy - Slay the Gnoll kidnappers
Save Timmy[]
- Slay the Gnoll kidnappers
- Something has been agitating the local beasts lately. Just yesterday, a half-starved pack of Gnolls pillaged a local farmhouse, stealing livestock and kidnapping a young boy named Timmy. Hopefully, the cretins haven't eaten him yet.
Tactics: To save Timmy go to the ruins taking the road north-east of the quest giver's farm and you will find two Level 1 Gnolls and a Level 1 Gnoll Poacher defending two cages (one of them with Timmy inside). Take out the gnolls (one of them drops a Potion of Healing) and you will be rewarded with a Ring of Protection.
Little Timmy: Help! Help me, please. I'm trapped in the cage.
Little Timmy: Please get me out of here. I want to go home.
Alicia: Oh, thanks so much! I have a reward for you.
NEW ITEM RECEIVED - Ring of Protection +1
- <Increases the armor of the Hero by 1 when worn.>
Benedict: Save us!
Footman: It's a trap!
Benedict: Take everything, men. Take all the valuables.
Gerard: Help! Bandits are stealing our belongings!
Menag: Heh! We'll take their coin just like everyone else's!
Gerard: Those bandits stole my ledger. Without it, I will lose my entire farm! Please, retrieve it from their camp! It would mean so much to us.
- OPTIONAL QUEST
Bandit Lord
Bandit Lord[]
- - Slay Menag, the Bandit Lord
- - Return Ledger to Gerard
- The cunning Bandit Lord, Menag, has been terrorizing the lands around Strahnbrad for months. He and his lackeys just made off with a ledger full of vital information regarding the estate of the local farmer, Gerard.
Tactics: Follow Menag to his camp south-east of Gerald, killing three Bandits on the way. When you arive, Menag and his last bandits will attack Arthas and his forces. Destroy them (one of the Bandits drops a Potion of Mana); after Menag is killed, pick Gerard's Lost Ledger and go back to the cart by the bridge.
Menag: Say your prayers!
Gerard: Thank you for helping me.
Gerard: Please, take this item.
NEW ITEM RECEIVED: Tome of Strength.
- Note: This tome isn't received as item in the inventory, but it increases Arthas' STR rating by 1 immediately.
Note: As Arthas approached the gates of Strahnbrad, a man ran outside fleeing from two Blackrock Orc Grunts.
Dean: Save us!
Grunt: He's escaping! Kill him!
Arthas: Damn! The attack has already begun! To arms, my brothers!
Defend Strahnbrad[]
- -Travel to Strahnbrad
- -Arthas must survive
- -Defeat the Slave Master and his guards
- Strahnbrad may already be under attack by Orcish forces! Immediate action must be taken! Make your way to the village and slay any marauding Orcs you encounter.
Note: if after you enter Strahnbrad you go southwest you will find three footmen fighting two grunts, and you can help them win the battle.
One footman is heard shouting: "Attack!"
Note: in the northwest you will find the Slave Master and his two grunt guards.
- Slave Master
- Haul these wretches off with the rest of them!
- Grunt
- Move 'em out!
Completion[]
- Sylvia
- Bless you, Prince Arthas!
- Daniel
- But what about the others who were taken away?
- Arthas
- Don't worry, son. We'll find them and bring them home safe.
- Knight
- Prince Arthas, Lord Uther needs you at the orc encampment immediately!
- Arthas
- Never a dull moment... Let's get moving!
