Commander Gregor says: And make sure you bring Lieutenant Vernon up to speed before you return. He will be awaiting your initial reports in Darkshore.Speaking to [npc=166185] in Goldshire:
We must remain vigilant against the Scourge.
- Gregor sent me to gather reports. Do you have any news?
Our patrols report outbreaks of Scourge activity to the east. Our forces are shaken, but holding the line.
I sent a scout to speak with Guard Captain Josephine in Redridge. They have yet to return.Speaking to [npc=166643] in Three Corners:
<Guard Captain Josephine scans the surrounding area.>
Speak quickly.
- Gregor sent me. The Scourge... they're already here?
The Scourge's presence continues to grow. Without proper reinforcements, Stormwind may soon be under siege.
Deliver this report. Inform Gregor that the situation is more dire than we anticipated.Speaking to [npc=166617] in Duskwood:
Guard Captain Fairbanks yells: Hold the line! Kill anything that moves!
<Guard Captain Fairbanks raises his weapon, aiming it threateningly in your direction.>
You...!
Never sneak up on me like that again! I could have killed you!
What are you doing here? It's not safe!
- Commander Gregor sent me to gather reports.
Our courier should have reached Stormwind long before now!
- They have yet to receive any reports. Give me what you have I'll make sure it gets delivered.
Guard Captain Fairbanks says: You should check up on Vernon in Darkshire. If it's this bad here, I can't imagine what his forces must be facing.

Heads up, if you go to Darkshire and find nothing except a bunch of hostile Watchers and no quest NPC to turn in, you might be a rogue who didn't finish your assassination artifact weapon quest chain. In my case, I had Preparation active in my log. Finish your assassination quests, obtain the artifact weapon, and then check Darkshire again.
An error here, you wrote: "Guard Captain Fairbanks says: You should check up on Vernon in Darkshore. " That should say Darkshire not Darkshore.

Description
The Scourge can strike anytime, anywhere. To counter their unpredictability, the Argent Crusade has secured key locations along the southern road heading east. However, I have yet to receive any reports from our scouts in the field. With the erratic nature of these attacks, I fear the worst. Travel the road and take stock of our outposts. I'll be expecting a full report when you return. Light be with you, {name}.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return of the Crusade
The Scourge's unbound hunger has been unleashed. It's only a matter of time before those monsters swarm our streets. We need expertise in dealing with this menace. The death knights of the Ebon Blade have stepped forward to aid us, but even they can't do this alone.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Damned Intruders
Before you depart... we are in desperate need of reinforcements. These reports must reach Commander Gregor. But if you would help us thin the Scourge's numbers first, it would grant us a much needed reprieve.
