Orgrim's ghost stands over the fallen Warlord Blackhand.
Blackhand reaches and grabs Orgrim by the collar.
Blackhand: Orgrim... is it over?
Orgrim grips Blackhand's Blackhand.
Orgrim: At long last. No Warlord rules forever old friend.
Blackhand: I see only... Demons... before...me...
The blackhand falls to the ground as Blackhand is now lifeless.
Orgrim: Without its warlord, the grim Blackrock clan will become an even greater threat to this world.
Orgrim: Control must be maintained. There must always be
-Steam releases heavily out of a furnace-
Orgrim: A Warlord.
-Orgrim's ghost disappears in a flash in front of Durotan-
-Durotan looks at the Blackhand
Durotan: The weight of such a burden... it must be mine for there is no other..
Maraad: Durotan! You hold a grim destiny in your hands Orc but it is not your own.
-Maraad is covered in brimestone and lava-
Durotan: Maraad! You're no longer holy..
Maraad: Blackhand's Ironstars sealed my fate, the tombs of Auchindoun can no longer comfort me.
Maraad: Place the Blackhand upon my hand Durotan forever more I shall be the Warlord of the Blackrock Clan.
Durotan: No old friend, I cannot..
Maraad: DO IT DUROTAN! You and these heroes have your own destinies to fulfill.This last act of service is mine.
-Durotan holds the Blackhand closer to Maraad-
Durotan: You will not be forgotten brother--
Maraad: I MUST BE FORGOTTEN DUROTAN! If Draenor is to be free from the tyranny of Iron Stars, they must never know what was done here today.
-Durotan sympathically nods before sliding the Blackhand slowly over Maraad's hand as the chamber begins to shake, causing molten rock and iron support beams to collapse-
-Maraad's eyes become fiery and the fist pulses out with fire as well-
Maraad: Tell them only that Warlord Blackhand is dead and that Vindicator Maraad...Died with HIM!
-Maraad voice becomes the same as Blackhands'.-
Maraad: Now GO! Leave this place and NEVER return!
Why was Blackhand accepted into the iron horde? he's handy in a fight.
What's his role in the legendary quest? to give us a hand. (His right one actually)
Does his loot counts as hand-me-downs? nope, they count as hand-outs.
What does he says when you wipe on him? Talk to the hand.
Why do people wipe on this boss? They can't handle him.
Did all of these puns got out of hand? you bet they did =P
