Description
Egah! They're here, {name}. They're here! I had hoped to equip a whole army with my shoulder-mounted drake-droppers, but all I have is a single, extremely expensive and wholly untested prototype. Here, take it! Shoot the Dragonmaw black drakes that are circling Thundermar, and drop them from the sky!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Potential Energy
As you well know, the amount of energy stored in a conventional spring is equal to one half the spring's elasticity times the displacement squared. Unless you're using an elementium spring. Then the numbers get obscene! Mathematically grotesque!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Last Stand at Thundermar
I'll hand it to you and your Alliance friends. You've really worked the Dragonmaw over! Many of their riders are dismounted but they're still coming at us, and my defenders will be overrun without help. Kill Dragonmaw Skyclaws on foot and Thundermar will forever be in your debt!
