This quest seems to be broken on Earthen alliance. Clicking the disguise does nothing. Logging off and back in gives the alert that the disguise has been removed, but the disguise was never on, and the NPC is still hostile.

Description

This isn't really the most... convincing disguise I've seen, but it'll work. Undercover work is all about swagger, anyhow. Just act like you're supposed to be there, and you'll be fine. Your contact inside Black Tooth Hovel will be an orc by the name of Quartermaster Kaoshin. He does NOT know you're a spy, so try and stay cool. Do whatever Kaoshin asks you. Colonel Troteman will be in touch via gnomecorder to give you any special instructions. Good luck out there, soldier.

  • Golem TrainingBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    Yer provin' to be a pretty big help around here, <race>. I was thinkin ye could help with just one more thing. Our guards are strong, but they're not as strong as you are. I was thinkin', maybe if ye wouldn't mind, ye might help some of 'em with their training?

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Grunt WorkBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    Bah! You're lucky I'm short-handed today. Otherwise I'd make you my personal whipping boy for the week. The officers and high-ranking soldiers need their boots polished. They've left them out in front of their huts. I want to see my reflection in those boots, grunt! Get to work!
