Rewards10g 50s, 4,100 XP

Description

This fight isn't over, {class}. Not by a long shot. Some of the soldiers in the courtyard still have breath in their lungs. We can save them! I've soaked these rags in an herbal remedy we used to rely on back in Gilneas. The smell is awful but this poultice can practically raise the dead. Use these bandages on wounded defenders down in the courtyard and we'll see if we can't get them back in the fight.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Re-Take the CourtyardSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    That's one way to clear a hill. Those corpses are impaled with knives and forks! The Rageroar clan has breached the walls, but we can still turn this fight around. Go down the hill and help our men hold on to the courtyard below...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Lifting the SiegeSouthern Barrens · Level 10-30

    We'll never be able to re-secure the fortress walls so long as Rageroar and his goons have access to artillery. I need you to fight your way across that chasm and take out his big guns. Orcs season their heavy machinery with coal tar, which makes them flammable.
