Report from the Wild Tempest on Durotar Assessment

Date: 03/10/30

Sergeant: Celeste Melody Vanimedle

Initial Report:


The South:

The 157th Company: Wild Tempest landed at the Southern Edge of Durotar utilizing the canyons they took the Northwatch Foothold as a staging area, bringing in there own supplies as well as stockpiling with the Gnomish Spymaster: Helmut Spoon. (See Stationed Report by myself for futher details on the camp itself - )

Sen'jin Village is still heavilly defended by the Trolls, however they seem to be while not welcoming of our pressence our heads aren't on pikes. Diplomatic Relations of trade may be able to be opened if there is someone willing or able to confirm with the Trolls on what we may or may not need.

The Valley of Trials has been taken by the Rebellion, they appear to be using it as training grounds for there newest fighter's before moving them towards Razorhill. It is heavilly defended by guard and the Alliance has not been permitted any entrance to the Valley, even on a diplomatic level.

Before reaching Razor Hill, there is the case of Tiragarde Keep, with a scouting expedition having scanned the forgotten keep its heavilly aparent that a Kor'kron Death Squad lays in wait and has the keep under survielance. If the Alliance are to take it for a better front to assault Orgrimmar from the south, the Death Squad will be need to be taken care of and any arcanic wards that are present and alerting the Kor'kron to the movements within the keep, dispelled.

All though the roads are more or less clear and patrols of Rebellion soldier's have been noted moving up and down them its aparent that the Kor'kron have maintained a stealth contingent within the southern reaches, and that any and all soldiers in transit should be especially vigilant else they be struck down from the shadows. If able we need to route out where these Death Squad's are making camp and shut them down before we move any heavy ordinance north.

The West:

To the West lay the Northern Section of the Barren's. The Kor'kron still opperate even now in the sothern sub-sections of the Barren's. The Rebellion having cleared out and routed any Kor'kron agressive, or resource pushes north of the Crossroads. Including the Mor'shan Ramparts and the Sludgefen. The Rebellion continue to hammer at the Kor'kron resource opperations and due to blockades have more or less routed any possible re-supply to Orgrimmar. However, several armoured Zepplins have begun floating along high of the Barrens seeking to circumvent the blockade and provide Orgrimmar with the supplies it desperately needs. We must stop this.

The Stone Fields north of the Town of Ratchet have become increasingly unstable. Due to the Dark Shaman interference the elements have become crazed, launching attacks on the netural town. Earthquakes are ruining the settlement alongside the physical attacks and the Goblins have requested aid in defeating the problem, they have offered trade routes and coin to anyone willing to take up the job. It is in the Alliance's best intrests to sieze this opportunity and strike the bargain with the Goblin's.

The matter of the Overgrowth in the Southern Barren's is also a thing of note, it could be used given that the threat has been neutralised to harvest herbs, and other natural fauna from the area in use for medicine, or poison. This should be seen too and a trade route secured to keep our stocks at there peak during the siege.

The North:

Vol'jin and the Rebellion's combined forces have created a blockade on the Southern edges of the city, but don't have enough gathered numbers to push on there own. They have blockaded the roads with palisade wall's along with makeshift watch towers, each housing a small group of head hunter sentries. The blockade spans from the southern stretch of the Drygulch Revine right down to Razor Hill by way of the road. The Kor'kron are being held at bay for now but have not deployed any siege weaponry to disperse the walls or assault the towers. Its unknown if Vol'jin has laced the road with mines or runic wards of voodoo but its a probably.

In the North west portion of Durotar it has been scouted that a heavilly fortified position, what appears to be a Goblin Factory. Intel provided indicates that the Kor'kron are using this to mass produce new siege weaponry. Given its fortifications, an aerial squad will need to drop in and secure the factory before detonating it and stealing any secrets within. Gyrocopter Squadrens will provide cover fire for the infantry to move in with demolitions experts.

To the north east the Dranosh'ar Blockade is under siege from the 7th Legion. The Alliance Armada was able to crush the Kor'kron naval forces by being forced directly in to them after the Rebellion forced the ships out at the battle of Bildgewater Harbour, and thusly the Alliance will suffer no impedement from the sea. The Blockade still stands however, many palisade walls, and Kor'kron infantry engaging the 7th Legion as they attempt to break through. The Dranosh'ar Blockade is held by a Dragonmaw Commander who rides atop a Proto-Drake, one of many that Garrosh has at his disposal.

Alongside the Infantry the Kor'kron has at its disposal several robed figures have been sighted, these have been confirmed as Kor'kron Dark Shaman. They are bringing forth the elements and enslaving them to assault the Legion and Rebellion's push, be that by conjuring unbound elemental slaves or using the land and air against the soldier's mystically. But this is not all the push has to deal with.

As detailed in the previous reports of Stonetalon, the Kor'kron indeed have utilized there knowledge of Scorpid anatomy and Goblin machinary to create a giant Iron juggernaught. It stands as tall as the pallisade walls if not higher, clad in steel and iron armor its capabilities are yet unknown but it holds centrepiece as the Kor'kron's main siege weaponry. On its back is a large cannon, as well as another gun type machine atop its tail.

The city is of course well defended with large steel walls, watch towers, and siege equipment at its disposal, but a breach in the gates is present. It will be there that the Alliance will need to tunnel through, it will of course be days if not weeks of bloody battles. Many of the Alliance and Rebellion Soldiers have been impaled on the spires of Orgrimmar all ready to dictate Garrosh's supremacy.

SI agent's confirm that Garrosh is no where to be sighted within Orgrimmar itself, at least not on the outside, however one of Garrosh's main General's has retreated to the chasms of Ragefire beneath Orgrimmar. He's bunkered himself in there tightly with his own elite regiment of Kor'kron infantry.

Sergeant: Celeste Melody Vanimedle

The Briefing:

After the gathered Intel that the Ruins of Tiragarde Keep was under survielance and hold by the Kor'kron. The Alliance was to move towards the Keep and retake it. Intel revealed that the Kor'kron had in place a runic warding system that alerted and teleported troops from an unknown location to re-inforce the Keep. It was also aparent that they had placed in the central courtyard many land mines. We would need to dispel every ward, and dismantle the Landmines as well deal with any soldiers on the ground.

The Mission:

Main Objectives:

• Dismantle and Disarm any and all explosive mines: "Achieved"
  
• Dispel all Kor'kron Arcanic Wards: "Achieved"
  
• Fully secure Tiragarde Keep from Kor'kron death squad: "Achieved"
  

The mission began with myself splitting the men in to certain teams, noted by the citation above: Elena Volodina and Spymaster Helmut Spoon would push infront of the main group in a stealthed manner to begin the dismantle of any land mines present. Coporal Shiiri would follow closely behind attempting to sense any and all arcanic wards, and would then dispel them to prevent any reinforcements reaching the Keep. Recruit's Salara and Samuels were positioned in a lofty position in the mountains over looking the Keep, from this vantage point they would have a clear run of the Keep, and when we made our push they would rain down covering Sniper fire. The rest of the gathered troops would turtle around the three as they worked and prevented any Kor'kron from interfering with difusing the traps they had ready for us.

The main group pushed forwards on foot whilst Salara and Samuels took birds to their vantage point in the mountains. We encountered no resistance whilst on the road, the Rebellion aparently having doubled there patrols of the southern roads due to the Kor'kron Death Squad's ambushing. They merely met our troops with distrustful glares and slurs in a foreign tongue. We reached the ruined gates of the dilapidated Keep soon enough, Spoon and Volodina pushed forwards with minesweeping devices whilst Salara and Samuels watched frrom on high giving them cover before Shiiri began to make her way forwards using a form of Arcanic detetection device.

The keep is in a sorry state, mostly ruins the scent of death hangs heavilly over it, many holes lay in the walls that will need to be plugged when we fully move here else we are subject to being compromised. As we pushed forward it became aparent that the Kor'kron were attempting to implement scare tactics against us, an Alliance Scout had been hung on the gallow's he was completely nude and his stomache had been slit open, exposing his innards in a horrific show of brutality.

We continued to push in to the keep but as we did, gunfire began to rain out from the mountains as Salara and Samuel's had clearly spotted something we could not see, we began to hear "thuds and cracks" as Kor'kron hiding in the ruined towers waiting to ambush us fell to there deaths, from the snipers shooting. To get out of sight of the Kor'kron sharpshooters the men took cover under the gallows before running towards a nearby ruined outbuilding. However on stepping foot inside the building an arcanic rune activated and two leather clad Kor'kron Assassins phased in through teleportation. They began there assault with a flurry of throwing stars that pierced several of the unsuspecting soldier's flesh. With their ranged assault finished they readied there defences, however the combined pressure of the Tempest and Lotus overwhelmed the pair, they seamt to communicate with each other in complete silence, the Assassin that was mortally wounded by the onslaught of the attack reached down and procured what was now known to be a mana grenade, roaring out and falling near the group as he pulled the pin his companion vanished in to shadow before the mana grenade exploded in the vacinity of our melee soldiers who took the brunt of the explosion.

As the wounded were brought up and began to be treated on the field, Spoon and Volodina continued to push forwards, disarming more mines till the run to the main garrison was clear, the main force pushed forward and I signaled to Salara and Samuels that the way was clear for them to come down and meet us after they'd finished providing covering fire for us. Problems became aparent when the Pandaren Sujing rushed ahead in the Garrison, Sergeant Dawnweaver accompanied her to drag her back but it was too lates and traps began to be sprung. A mechanism from the cieling of the garrison drove towards the ground spikes adorning it attempting to impale the Pandaren and the Sergeant, the former manging to roll out of the way whilst the Sergeant's hand was thusly impaled.

As Sujing rolled away, she rolled in to another room triggering another trap. A portcullis desended from the cieling and trapped her inside the room that began to fill with oil, it spraying from small holes in the walls covering her and the room in the sticky substance. The injured Sergeant and other Pandaren attempted to help her out of the room as a spark begin to ignite above her but it was too late. A large explosion was heard that sent those lifting the iron gate flying backwards. As the flames died down however it was aparent that Sujing's quick thinking had saved her life, she had managed to erect a barrier of chi energy in a shield around herself at the time of the explosion, saving herself from certain death. As the flames died down the Pandaren swiftly kicked the now battered Portcullis, shattering it and rejoining the group.

A large masculine voice began to radiate through the ruins of the garrison, he spoke in common taunting us to go deeper in to the building. Helmut Spoon devised a plan to trigger anymore traps with the use of his robotic bear, he weighed it down with rocks before saying his goodbyes to the contraption, then began to pilot it remotely. After a few large clatters, bangs and explosions that wrattled the building itself, Spoon and Volodina pushed forwards to check if the coast was clear. A few fires had been started and many traps sprung, the "corpse" of the bear was crushed under a large boulder leaking oil.

We pushed up the stairs and found what we assume to be the leader of the Death Squad, he was knelt down over an Alliance Soldier, a woman she too had been disemboweled, as well as decapitated, her head placed on a pike in the centre of the large room as a taunting gesture to what would await any of the Alliance or Rebellion against Garrosh. The combined might of the Tempest and Lotus' forces managed to overcome the Leader and he was brought to justice, on his person was a letter with suprisingly intresting information that will be sent directly to Alliance command.

Clean-up Crews were sent to the Keep to begin clearing out the corpses and laying the dead to rest. Corporal Shiiri herself stayed to read the Alliance soldier's their last rites.

Tiragarde Keep is ours.
