Fighting Back

Fighting Back is a quest for level 25-30 in The Storm Peaks. It is step 37 of 113 in The Storm Peaks storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in The Storm Peaks at 31.4, 38.1. It rewards 4,100 experience and money.

Description

The refuge's defenders have done their best to blunt the iron dwarves' attacks, but we keep losing ground inch by inch. My men are hardy, but not tireless. Without reinforcements, it's only a matter of time until we will be overrun.

Would you lend your skills to the refuge's defense? It would greatly improve the morale of the defenders and give them -- and me -- hope of mounting a counterattack.

Kill any of the stormforged or their creations you encounter outside the refuge.

Where to go

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Rare EarthThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    It seems so long ago that these hammers pounded and hewed stone instead of iron. Our expulsion from Ulduar saw the weakest of us dead and the strongest of our craftsmen reborn as warriors. As the irons beat us back, even the strongest find themselves failing.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Relief for the FallenThe Storm Peaks · Level 25-30

    The refuge's defenders fight bravely, but they cannot keep up with the iron onslaught. With the earth you collected, I can make bandages to help heal the wounds of some of the fallen. The more defenders we can patch up, the longer we'll last out there.
