Mercenaries

Mercenaries is a bounty contract issued by Magistrate Bluntnose in Thelsamar to cull the encroaching Mo'grosh ogres in northeastern Loch Modan. With military reinforcements from Ironforge bogged down in months of bureaucratic delay, the magistrate is forced to hire passing adventurers to protect the valley's vulnerable settlements, excavations, and the vital Stonewrought Dam.

Two months just to hear from Ironforge that we'll be spared a handful of soldiers for our own defense, and another two months until they arrive! Bad enough that our town goes unprotected, but the excavation and the dam—the dam!--are open to attacks as well.

I've no choice then, it seems. I'll need hired arms.

How about you? You seem a likely sort, adventurer. A group of ogres has set up camp on the northeast of the lake. Perhaps you could recruit some others and help remove the threat to our town?

Ah, this is excellent news! Your efforts are greatly appreciated by myself and the people of Thelsamar. Better yet, if we can solve the ogre problem, we'll be able to shift our focus to those Light-burning troggs.
