TheWoWDB<The Big Three walk onto the scene, the Dragon-Lord sporting a lovely charred blackness on the whole of his being>
High Warlock Xi'lun says: We are nearly prepared to start this battle, brothers. Thorg'izog, what is the matter? Why are you covering your butt like that?
General Thorg'izog says: WHAT? No reason... it's just... something is very wrong with my stomach. I think it's something I ate.
High Warlock Xi'lun says: Can you still lead your troops? Do you need to promote one of your sergeants?
General Thorg'izog says: Timan fell from the Pillar of Ash. Othana was eaten by wolves. Gorlop fell in lava. And most of my sergeants were killed in a freakish cudgelling accident.
High Warlock Xi'lun says: I see. Well, do the best you can. And Neeralak, why are you all black and smoky?
Dragon-Lord Neeralak says: Those imps you had delivered... they woke up and started shooting fireballs at everybody! It was chaos!
High Warlock Xi'lun says: Delivered? Woke up? What are you even talking about? Were you attacked by flamekin?
Dragon-Lord Neeralak says: Imps, flamekin, whatever! I don't know warlock crap. Demons all look the same to me!
Dragon-Lord Neeralak says: Besides, I've been busy dealing with other issues. Dozens of my dragons died when those two enemies swept through the front lines.
High Warlock Xi'lun says: You're both failures. But it doesn't matter; with a pit lord on our side, we won't need foot soldiers OR dragons. Behold!
<The High Warlock steps forward on an overseeing ledge and begins to cast a summoning ritual>
High Warlock Xi'lun says: [Demonic] Zar zar refir zenn X zennshi x buras daz!
High Warlock Xi'lun says: And now to quickly use the Orb of Domination, before the pit lord turns on us.
<The pit lord appears on the field and begins rampaging through the Blackrock ranks, unchecked, as the High Warlock fails miserably to bring it under his control. The terrified troops flee for their lives in complete disarray>
General Thorg'izog says: The pit lord's loose! We're doomed! Retreat!
<The player enters the scene at this moment, mounted on his cleverly disguised red drake, ready to put an end to the scattered blackrock forces>
General Thorg'izog says: Quickly, everyone run toward those dragons! All troops, towards the dragons! The dragons will save us!
Dragon-Lord Neeralak says: I never called any dragons...I rofl'd in real life when Neeralak walked into view, completely blackened. I don't get this warlock crap!

With [spell=63303] active you can understand High Warlock Xi'lun when he speaks in Demonic. He says:
"High Warlock Xi'lun says: [Demonic] One, two, three, four, I declare a thumb war!"It looks like a thumb war can summon a big Pit Lord, so...
if you skip the cinematic the quest bugs and mobs arent killable
