The boxes were too heavy, so my Orc Pup harnessed his inner power and ended up carrying the crates with nothing but his sheer force of will.

He is truly in balance. You can see the focused expression, the wisdom in his eyes...

I love the comments in this quest from the pup, they are hilarious, as is the way the sea pup leans forward when he's carrying the boxes.


  • Orc Pup Says: OOF! Maybe trow little softer, captain? (1/5 boxes)

  • Orc Pup Says: Maybe captain carry one box too? (2/5 boxes)

  • Orc Pup Says: Dis giving me a hernia. Captain, what is hernia? (3/5 boxes)

  • Orc Pup Says: ME NO SIGN UP FOR DIS! WAIT! Yes, me did sign up for dis. (4/5 boxes)

  • Orc Pup Says: Dis hurt so bad. Like da time poop came out sideways. (5/5 boxes)

I lol'd, poor, poor sea pup and his sideways poops.

Then once you hand it in, he says Orc Pup Says: Where to put? Dey Falling! HELP!

The dialog appears to be different a little for everyone, my helper said different stuff:


  • Orc Pup Says: Dis not so bad. Maybe little heavy, but me ok.

  • Orc Pup Says: Heavy... me no can see notin.

  • Orc Pup Says: Captain, pup need help!

  • Orc Pup Says: CAN NO SEE! WHERE TO GO? WHAT DOING?

  • Orc Pup Says: Please... Kill... Me...

Lines 4 and 5 are hilarious, this is definitely one of my favorite quests now, haha.

RewardsSober Pup Wristbands, Steel Thunder Chestbrace, Bloodfang Vest, 4,100 XP

Description

We may not have to live down the shame of this defeat, {name}. The Warchief will likely have us all executed instead. I'll be damned if we don't go down without a fight. Although the whole beachhead is overrun by Bloodfang worgen, there may still be hope. I want you to accompany one of our sea pups to the beachhead, directly west of here, and recover our supplies. Return to me when the pup can carry no more.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

  • Playing DirtySilverpine Forest · Level 5-30

    Have you seen the huge lumbering ettins roaming the forests? Cursed things came from Gilneas. Now they wander the land searching for their next juicy meal. We've managed to subjugate and utilize some of them to haul our wagons, but the others... well, they must be killed!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Give 'em Hell!Silverpine Forest · Level 5-30

    It's the goblins' fault, <race>! <hic!> You see, we set off for Silverpine from Bilgewater Harbor, over in Azshara. Huge mistake that was! Never has such a den of inequity and sin existed in our great empire.
