The Thandol Span

A tremendous explosion roared through the hills. 'Twas horrible, I tell you! Good soldiers died defending the Thandol Span. Longbraid says we'll take revenge on the Dark Irons before all is said and done. We're in a world of hurt though and I don't see any reinforcements in sight. Longbraid sent Ol' Rustlocke to scout the eastern bridge to see if we could secure it. That was days ago. We haven't the manpower to search for him with Dun Modr under siege. Perhaps you can find him...

You search the tiny, dwarven corpse. Engraved into the helmet you can clearly read: Ebenezer Rustlocke.

It seems as though poor Ol' Rustlocke ran into a Dark Iron ambush. You notice a parchment next to his clenched fist. Report the grim news to Rhag Garmason and show him what you found.

Oh my, the news is grave....

Heavens no! Poor Rustlocke. 'Tis quite a tragedy indeed. We must not let his death pass in vain. This parchment you discovered indicates that Kam Deepfury, the mastermind behind the original attack, arranged for a cache of explosives to be stashed just across the Thandol Span, in Arathi Highlands. If those explosives make it to the bridge, our major supply line to the north will be severed! The cache must be destroyed, <name>! Return to me when your mission is complete. You're our only hope.

The remaining bridge is saved! You have done a great service to King Magni and the people of Khaz Modan. Now if we can only hold out long enough for reinforcements to show...
