Summary:
At 2000, we gathered the Regiment for the recovery mission. I had received good word from the Circle's Scouts that a Frozen Orb had been discovered within Northrend. Frozen Orbs are items of great power and can unleash devastation onto the battlefield when used correctly.
I conjured a portal to Star's Rest, Dragonblight, the closest safe location to the location. The orb itself was located within Quel'dorei ruins that had been abandoned years ago. After some deliberation, Knight-Lieutenant Alison Clement used her abilities to detect any sources of Magic. She found a strong pull towards the tower. She directed her Regiment towards the tower, as we approached one of the lingering spirits attempted to commune with the Regiment.
The spirit only spoke in riddles, however they were ill matched for the mental might of the Regiment. We were easily able to solve the riddles and the spirit conjured a bridge over to the tower. The orb was left unguarded except for the riddles. Corporal Aurelious offered to handle the orb as we made our way to further investigate the ruins.
As we crossed the ruins, the Regiment found a frozen lockbox. As Private Brooks, Knight-Lieutenant Loucelles, and Recruit Zander approached, they all triggered a runic trap. Dark Magic erupted and seriously damaged them. After many attempts, and the rune re-charging and detonating again, the Regiment got the lockbox out and recovered it. Knight-Lieutenant Clement then instructed the Regiment to head back to Star's Rest where I dismissed the Regiment and took both the Frozen Orb and Lockbox where I can open it safely.
The contents of the lockbox are:
Four HORDE Golden Coins
Ten ALLIANCE Golden Coins
Five Etherial Shards
A small bag of Etherial Dust.
I do not know what to make of the contents of the lockbox. However, we will be able to use Etherial Dust and Shard for our enchanting work. As well, the Frozen Orb was recovered, we will be using that to help our Enchanters learn and enchant their weapons and armor. This mission was an overall success.
