Conversation:

Grommash Hellscream: What of you, Blackhand?
Blackhand: Alliance and Horde forces strike at the Foundry, but they are nothing I cannot handle.
Grommash Hellscream: Again, Blackhand? All I hear are excuses.
Grommash Hellscream: Azuka! How goes the search for the alpha?
Azuka Bladefury: Well, Warchief. We need only the Heart of Gorgorek to give it life.
Grommash Hellscream: Good. I will have you deal with the other-worlders as well. Or... do you lack the bloodlust of your forefathers?
Azuka Bladefury: My blade skills surpass those of my sires, Warchief. I can clean up Blackhand's mess.
Blackhand: Hrahh... I will slice off your tongue for that!
Grommash Hellscream: Ahahaha... bold words from my newest Warlord. Very well!
Grommash Hellscream: Carry forth your ancestral blade. Bathe it in the blood of our enemies. Show me its legendary power.
Grommash Hellscream: Come! You have your orders. I ride for Tanaan.

During this quest, you are captured and put in a cage where you can overhear the Iron Horde leaders strategizing. However in my case there was an odd glitch where Gortag Steelgrip gripped me from outside the building and hauled me through the wall into combat... I'm pretty sure that's not a scripted part of this quest.

Full script of the quest:

<On accept, you are immediately netted and Azuka and two Mok'gol guards spawn from behind>

Azuka Bladefury says: Well, well, well... look who's walked right into our trap.

<Azuka walks up to the Player>

Azuka Bladefury says: You will be my gift to Warchief Hellscream.

<Your screen instantly goes black, indicating that you were incapacitated... When you 'regain' consiousness you'll find that you're caged in the Mok'gol Watchpost town hall, with several of the Iron Horde leaders in a meeting, including Grommash himself!>

Grommash Hellscream: What of you, Blackhand?
Blackhand: Alliance and Horde forces strike at the Foundry, but they are nothing I cannot handle.
Grommash Hellscream: Again, Blackhand? All I hear are excuses.
Grommash Hellscream: Azuka! How goes the search for the alpha?

<The Warlords all leave the town hall, once they have left Shadow Hunter Kajassa appears.>

Shadow Hunter Kajassa says: Kajassa got ya, mon. I be here ta help ya.

<She releases you from your cage. You can now turn in the quest.>

Now... why did they cage you and yet leave you still fully armored and equipped with your weapon is beyond me.
