Description

I'm not gonna lie to you, <name>. What I'm about to ask you to do is suicide. Chance of failure is about 95%.

All communication from Dreadwatch Outpost has been severed. With the worgen constantly rushing us we have no means by which to get to Dreadwatch to check on our soldiers. I need you to head south to the outpost and check on our soldiers. I'll keep in contact through the Forsaken communication device - F.C.D. - from here on out.

KEEP CLEAR OF THE MAIN ROAD.
