A Dark Threat Looms

Thank the stars someone is concerned about the well-being of the Dam. First the destruction of the Thandol Span and then the pillaging of Dun Modr! I have no doubt that the Dam will be the target of the next Dark Iron threat. Most of the security detail here was reassigned to the Alliance Front, including my top inspector. That's why I need you, <name>. I spotted some Dark Iron Sappers milling about the eastern ramp of the Dam. Investigate the area and bring back a clue.

The suspicious looking barrel contains a strange smelling powder.

You take a sample of the strange smelling powder.

This is an alarming discovery, to say the least!

If my suspicions are correct, this is some type of explosive powder. This must be analyzed by an explosives expert so we know just what we're dealing with here. Ashlan Stonesmirk was assigned to the regiment guarding Dun Modr and the Thandol Span. I need you to make a grave and perilous journey, <name>. Travel through the Algaz Gate, follow the road through the Wetlands and seek out Stonesmirk in Dun Modr. Heed my advice: stick to the roads and stop for nothing!

Ah, well Ol' Hinderweir is wise to be worried.

This ain't no ordinary blast powder. Look at the tiny silver crystals. And the distinct smell! Why it's clear as daylight that this is Seaforium Powder. Seaforium is harmless enough. But once it's wet it could blow Ironforge out of the mountain. The chemical reaction can be defused by mixing four components: lurker venom, crushed Mo'Grosh crystal, a crocolisk tear and this disarming colloid. Now tell Hinderweir before it's too late!

A disarming colloid? For Seaforium? Oh heavens!

Begin collecting the disarming materials immediately, <name>. Lurker Venom can be found on the indigenous spiders in Loch Modan. Crocolisk tears are found here in the Loch as well. But a Mo'Grosh crystal will be very difficult to procure. The ogres to the northeast mine them but the crystals are a very rare commodity. We need to be prepared to defuse a Dark Iron attack! Return to me once you've collected the needed items and I will prepare the mixture.

Just in time, <name>!

Earlier today I spotted some Dark Iron Insurgents swimming toward the Dam with a large keg. No Mountaineers were on hand to stop them! I'm afraid they've planted the Seaforium at the base of the Dam and it could blow at any minute! Let me combine all these ingredients into the Disarming Mixture. There we go. Now I need you to take this mixture and stir it into the keg before it's too late! Hurry!

The keg fizzles slightly as the Disarming Mixture settles in.

The keg fizzles slightly.

Thank you so much, <name>!! You have saved the Stonewrought Dam! Without your help, the Dark Iron terrorists would have surely seen to this mighty landmark's demise. You have made the Kingdom and the Alliance proud, brave <class>. The Dam is once again safe. . . for the time being at least. . . .
