Debriefing (Horde)

Debriefing is a Horde-only quest for level 30-35 in Kelp'thar Forest. It is step 41 of 149 in the Vashj'ir, Kelp'thar Forest & Shimmering Expanse storyline. It rewards 3,600 experience.

Description

This warrior was near death, but I fear we do not have the time to await his full recovery. He has information we desperately need to know.

Be patient with him, but keep him talking until we've learned all that we can.

With luck we might discover just what we're up against...

Gurrok Debriefed (spoiler alert!)
The conversation with Gurrok proceeds as follows:

Many of us tried to escape the naga.

I am the only one who succeeded...

  • Tell me your name, orc.


I am Gurrok, of Hellscream's Vanguard.

  • How did you get down here?


We had them!

Wretched Alliance ships... we could've cut a path to Stormwind and put an end to them!

...But out of nowhere, gigantic tentacles reached up and seized our ship... broke it right in two!

The survivors... we were captured by naga as soon as we hit the water.

  • Tell us about your captors, Gurrok.


Strange that the naga would go out of their way to keep us alive.

They created prisons from mystical pearls - cells that allowed us to breathe, but little else..

They ship the prisoners off... somewhere.

Never see them again....

  • How were you able to get away?


One of our warriors broke free and smashed many of the prisons... we were free - at least for a moment.

Some swam up towards the surface... some saw this cave and swam for it.

I'm the only one that lived....

  • Did you see Nazgrim and his troops?


I do not know what became of them.

There was a constant flow of captives. Horde and Alliance, both - all barely alive.

They must've been hauled away beyond the trench, or they have perished.

  • What is there to report of these beasts, Gurrok? How do we defeat them?


Their numbers are too many to count. Their defenses look impenetrable.

I saw no weaknesses to exploit, <race>.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Wake of DestructionKelp'thar Forest · Level 30-35

    Our time here draws to a close. I must somehow follow the trail of these naga captives if we are to discover their purposes in this region. But before I move on, I would see the destruction of this operation! Nevermind their numbers, I have a plan that has the potential to even the odds.
