COMBAT REPORT

Enclosed in this document are details about a small battle between Horde and Alliance forces south of the crossroads.

Date: 26th July.

Time: 1800 hours proceeding.

Body of the report:

Yesterday, sometime after 1800 hours I had heard the most peculiar thing. Outside of Orgrimmar, I had heard reports of yells in Common in a hostile tone, echoing throughout northern Durotar. Had this been suspicious enough, rumours of the “fourth war” were floating like rampant Blood Elves on a newly formed ley line and I was initially paranoid. I asked for a few men in the general channels to aid me in an investigation of this matter. I was accompanied by an Undead magi by the name of Nemis, Xaor and Morogk. These brave men heeded the call and stood by my side, fighting with honour, tenacity and fearlessness. Truly remarkable that I had the privilege to fight with them.

I digress. After initially scouting the barrens and enquiring to the Ratchet guards, we heard of an increased number of growing Alliance heading to the southern barrens. We tracked them down to Bael Modan and our suspicions were confirmed point blank. From what we could gather, The Steel Guard and the Loch Modan Marksmen had gathered their troops to plot against the Horde. In our territory? Such a disgusting, foul insult, only the likes of a Dwarf would think up of such arrogance and contempt. Given the chance to sunder his jaw from his face and lodge it down his spinal chord I would have happily...

I digress once more. They had all slowly fragmented away and we lost track of their actions. I gathered what men I could from the Barrens and we set out. I formulated that though the Alliance may not have a spine, a reasonable distraction was needed to draw their attention back to the local area. If they would not defend their town then perhaps the public humiliation of being labelled cowards would suffice. We stormed through to the from part of Theramore and slaughtered every guard in the vicinity. Though not an entirely peaceful act, I was to make sure that they would fight on our terms in future.

With enough time, scouts reported of a sudden disturbance in the barrens, the bridge between Taurako and the Crossroads. We mobilised and prepared for open combat.

We were down to four men. Myself, Xaor, Morogk and Volja, stood between their men and showed them a mighty two-fingered salute. The first to strike was a Draenei Paladin and the rest followed quickly.

Four men, stood on that bridge. Xaor fell unconscious and as he woke, the sight of littered bodies filled the bridge. 20 of their strongest men had fallen to 4 of our strongest. This was the most incredible display of combat prowess I’ve witnessed. It was truly... incredible. I would have died there and known my life was complete.

I took severe injury and am currently healing the wounds. My arm, leg and chest have sustained damage and for a week, I’ve been advised to rest and have Druids attend my wounds.

No further combat to report.

Personal note - The Alliance wish to cause a war. Let them know their men are cowards that cannot fight. Let them know that the Horde shall suffer no oppression! Their bark is much worse than their bite. Deroel is the worst of them and I do so hope I can pound his face into the dirt again. It will bring me much, much joy for his blood to stain my armour.
