Description

Once it's complete, we're going to need to get this bomb down to Saurboz.

And by 'we', I mean 'you'.

With so many of the enemy prowling about, I'll need to create something special if you're to have any chance of success.

I can modify one of these busted shredders, but I'll need a few parts. You should have no trouble finding them in the woods to the west.

Round them up while I finish work on the bomb.

While not technically the "follow-up", because you can obtain it before finishing this quest, the bread crumb quest into Stonetalon Mountains is what this quest leads up to.

While this quest text indicates there should be a follow-up, I was not able to find one.

That is so sad that the chain of the quest line brakes after this quest. :C

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

They're Out There!Ashenvale · Level 7-30
They're out there, <class>. And they're on to us. Some of my men have begun turning up dead. Elf attacks, no question about it. My guess is that your work at Astranaar has them desperate to stop our progress here. A last ditch effort to escape defeat! Take these goggles.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

Thunder PeakAshenvale · Level 7-30
Greetings, <class>. Congratulations on your victorious assault on Astranaar. The elves shall not soon forget the humiliation they have suffered at your hand. But you must know, the elves are not the only obstacle to the Horde's conquering of Ashenvale....
