Against the Hatecrest

At this point, I am going to direct you to my second, Latronicus. He's been keeping a close eye on the naga forces to date. I'll assess the general situation here in regards to the naga; as much as I want to commit a full force to move against them, leaving the stronghold open to direct attack from the Horde - or worse - seems less than optimal. Anyway, Latronicus awaits. Good work thus far, <name>. Keep it up. You're dismissed.

Excellent, <name> - I value a "can do" attitude in those who I work with. I've been tasked by General Feathermoon to address the naga in a direct manner. My plans are two fold: one, we will weaken their forces both in number and in command, and two, we will uncover what they are up to in the ruins. With your help, we'll counter the naga presence without sacrificing the general security of the stronghold.

The best course of action at this point is to assume that, regardless of what the naga are up to, they will eventually move to secure the island for their own. We need to take aggressive steps to counter that threat before it is too late. Bring me ten Hatecrest Scales that are in good condition; it should be obvious to you how to acquire them. You'll cut your teeth on the naga for the first time, and we'll have a weakened naga presence on Sardor Isle - both are prospects that play to our advantage.

Yes, yes, these scales are more than satisfactory. Actually, I think I will send these down to Pratt for him to take a look at. Maybe he can craft something useful out of them. As for you, I have another mission I want to send you on. But first, here is your bounty for the scales. Your continued service to the General and Feathermoon Stronghold at large is a blessing in the face of adversity.
