Description

Yet another ship from my fleet has been lost to those overzealous humans from Theramore!

Their new Rear Admiral has parked himself right off the coast here. He's boarding or sinking any vessel that doesn't heave-to at his whim.

Travel south along the Merchant Coast to his camp. Bring me the medals of the marines and deck hands. Execute his top Lieutenants, Pyre and Buckland. Lay waste to them as they have laid waste to my fleet!

I found this quest to be really easy. Make your way to Northwatch and go up the pathway you see. You'll go pass a few buildings, and you will see a ramp leading upwards. The first tower on your left will have Captain Fairmount in it. Kill him and continue on the ramp. You will then see two other towers, one to your left and one to your far right. Both of these hold the other 2 Cannoneers you need to slay. Be sure to loot the regular mobs you kill, they are the ones that contain the medals!

Also, once you have completed this quest, be sure to visit the first tower again, and talk to the prisoner at the bottom of the tower. You will be able to accept an escort quest, "Free From the Hold" http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=898, where you will have to lead him all the way back to Ratchet. This was also easy, and landed me around 2,000 experience @ level 19.
