Interesting fact: Playing this area of fighting the Crypt Crawlers and the respective Lords may remind you of the open area battle scene of Starship Troopers.
these guys have absolutely no chance of dieing unless you kill them, the guys they r fighting against have much less hp and hardly do any dgm.

What to do
Description
Well, well, well. It's good to see Arlos bring out the big guns. Don't get me wrong - our lads are doing the best they can, but someone of your renown fighting alongside them could really turn the tides for us. I'm not sure how much longer we can hold out against these undead Nerubians. What do you say you get out there and kill me some creepers? Show these boys how it's done.
Where to go
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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Time for Heroes
It's good to have you among us, <name>. We've all heard of your past deeds. As you know, King Wrynn is moving great armies into Northrend to meet those of Arthas. But armies are nothing without true heroes to inspire and lead them. I want you to be that hero for my men.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Death From Above
We're doing a good job of holding the front lines against these bugs. Some of these cheeky fiends, however, can fly over the aforementioned front lines and are really beating down on our inner defenses. I've requisitioned reinforced fishing nets from our civilian ships.
