TheWoWDBWe just can't get this quest right. Our tank is having trouble holding aggro on the worgs and it eventually goes for the healer. It's probably a DPS issue, though - is this fight on a timer? We'd really like some help because we're really tired of Northshire abbey.

Description
So you're the new recruit from Stormwind, eh? I'm Marshal McBride, commander of this garrison. Glad to have you on board... <McBride looks through some papers.> {name}. It is {name}, right? You've arrived just in time. The Blackrock orcs have managed to sneak into Northshire through a break in the mountain. My soldiers are doing the best that they can to push them back, but I fear they will be overwhelmed soon. Head northwest into the forest and kill the attacking Blackrock worgs! Help my soldiers!

If your race is different than the race of the starter area then the quest rewards armor type is not appropriate for your class.
For example if you teleport yourself to Stormwind as a Dreanai paladin and try to do this quest. The quest reward will be leather instead of mail.

- Lions for Lambs
The invading orcs aren't fools. They are sizing us up, making sure that when they attack it will be to their advantage. In the forest, to the northwest, are Blackrock spies. They peer at us through spyglasses, watching our every move - waiting. I want you take the fight to them!
