Battle for the Upper Reaches
"Gazathrug, the Orc Captain of the Upper Reaches, fears losing his hold on Máttugard, a fear that is finally coming to fruition."

Background

Objective 3

  • Listen to the Orc factions

Listen to the Orc factions.

Captain Gazathrug says, "This is the Upper Reaches, the domain of Gorgar the Ruthless!"
Captain Gazathrug says, "I, Captain Gazathrug, speak for the great Orc! The blood of Azog runs through Gorgar's veins!"
Captain Gazathrug says, "What is it you Mountain-dwelling filth want?! Speak!"
Hobgoblin Frost-lord says, "I speak for the Frost-horde."
Hobgoblin Frost-lord says, "Hrímil has declared Gundabad her new home."
Hobgoblin Frost-lord says, "If Gorgar is out of favour with the Herald of Winter, then so are all who follow Gorgar."
Hobgoblin Frost-lord says, "You are trespassing."
Captain Gazathrug says, "Enough! You should leave, now. Or there will be blood, your blood, spilled by my blade!"
Hobgoblin Frost-lord says, "No."
Captain Gazathrug says, "Attack!"
Captain Gazathrug says, "You let the Dragon control you!"
Hobgoblin Frost-lord says, "You are no longer useful to the Frost-horde!"
Gundabad Warrior says, "Ugh!"
Gundabad Warrior says, "Argh!"
Captain Gazathrug says, "Gah!"

Objective 5

Talk to Gazathrug.

Captain Gazathrug: 'Come closer, <race>.
'I should've died by those hobgoblins. Your interference was warranted, however. The hobgoblins would have reported back of my loss and too soon would these halls of Vok-kasol fall to the Frost-horde. You made sure they didn't make it, and for that I commend you.
'Now, I must die with honour and for Gorgar. I can't die slowly upon this stone. No, I must be killed in combat. Grant me this last wish, <race>.'
