Operation: Surprise Party

Operation: Surprise Party is an Alliance-only quest for level 35-40 in Nagrand. It is step 3 of 21 in the Against the Warsong storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Nagrand at 65.9, 68.6. It rewards 5,450 experience and money.

Description

There weren't many survivors of the Warsong attack. The few remaining rangari have gone up to one of the bluffs overlooking Telaar.

The rangari are waiting for you. They're planning a surprise counter-attack.

My copter's taken a beating. The auto-pilot's set to take you up there. I think she's got one last trip in her.

Maybe.

If you fly up to [npc=79722] instead of taking Thaelin's Copter, Ogir says

Is something wrong with the copter?

This would typically be listed as the "Progress" text above (between Description and Completion), but since the data for this page was populated prior to patch 6.2.2 it was not possible to access Ogir without use of the Copter.

    The Warsong struck us hard. We lost Telaar, but we have a rare opportunity to strike at the heart of the Warsong. We need your wisdom and leadership to pull it off, <name>. First though, we're going to get our survivors out of Telaar. My rangari are ready to strike. We just need to get you to them.

  • Mo'mor Might KnowNagrand · Level 35-40
