TheWoWDBDon't just rush into town, as you'd become PvP tagged and meet inevitable death at the hands of guards and Alliance players.
- Investigate the watchpost cabin: Kill the guard in front of the building, then walk inside towards the back door. A cutscene will start automatically. As you've automatically walked out among the allies you'll aggro them as you regain control.
- Investigate the harbor terrace: Jump down from the right side of the bridge, then swim up to a stone, climb on to a small glowing marker in front of a very narrow alley, and the cutscene will start.
- Investigate the outdoor workshop: Swim past the wide side of the building, reaching the gable. Kill the bloke standing there then move to the small glowing marker at the water corner of the gable. The cutscene will start. The PvP border is quite close here so you may accidentally trigger PvP mode so be prepare to beat it afterwards.

So, once again Blizzard has found a way to force PvE players into PvP mode. Nice Blizzard that you've proven time and time again you care little about all of your player base. You're only concern is those players who like pvp play. What a ruse this expansion was to introduce "war mode" making those of us who were sick of pvp players interfering with the quest givers on pve realms. We THOUGHT this expansion took care of that. Well, it did take care of THAT. But now Blizzard has come up with a creative way to force pve players to enter pvp mode, put the "outpost" quests in pvp places or so close to them it's near impossible to do without getting flagged pvp, such as this one. I took ONE step to far into the place my "ghost image" indicated I needed to be in order for the cut scene to start and got flagged pvp.
What makes it even more sneaky, the mobs inside aren't even listed as pvp. They're normal quest mobs. BUT, the area marks you for pvp. Real F'ing nice Blizzard!
- Watchpost cabin: kill 1 guard near the front entrance to the building

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Making Ourselves at Home
Log cabins will do in a pinch, but... if we're going to be spending any time here, we might as well make ourselves comfortable. The roughnecks left us no shortage of lumber and food supplies, but we'll need canvas and chains to set up some proper Forsaken tents and banners.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Explosives in the Foundry
I'm most interested in those explosives, though. Meet me in the foundry, east of here. You probably passed through it on your way from Plunder Harbor.
