What to do
Description
Our reinforcements from Kalimdor arrived last night. Three orc gunships full of supplies, weapons and soldiers. Three orc gunships lost to Bloodfang's damned worgen. How could an entire orc fleet lose to a small band of enemy combatants that lack any siege weaponry? An important question that you will answer for me. Gather your gear and report to the orc admiral, Hatchet, at the Forsaken Rear Guard, southwest of here. Get those orcs operational, {name}. I await your full report.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Belmont's Report
<Belmont hands you a sealed envelope.> Deliver this report to Lady Sylvanas Windrunner. It is my assessment of the situation in Silverpine based upon your and Yorick's field work. If we do not stamp out the worgen insurgents, they will overrun us. The time to act is now!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Playing Dirty
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!
