*"The Stormwind Extraction" scenario complete
==Description==
My lady is shrewd indeed. If we are to infiltrate Stormwind City, we will need the very best the Horde has to offer, and yet a team so small as to be able to infiltrate the heart of Alliance territory unseen.
<Nathanos peers at the gathered group, stroking his chin.>
Yes, I see.
The path ahead is clear. Speak to me when you are ready to undertake the Warchief's mission, <name>.
==Rewards==
You will receive:
* 
*24,700 XP
==Progress==
We must not fail the Warchief.
==Completion==
Well, here we are. Zuldazar. We had better stick with Talanji and Zul for now. The Warchief will be interested to know what happens next.

Defeat the Gilnean Maulers throwing themselves against Thalyrssra's shield. Once the maulers are defeated, the magic barrier is down and the group begins to run, no longer stealthed. Genn and his party will continuously walk toward the group. If he catches up, everyone will die.

Keep moving.

:Zul drops the torch and sets a building ablaze. Soon it spreads, blocking the path. The group keeps running.
:
:Nathanos Blightcaller and his two Deathguards appear on the platform leading down to the harbor. Nathanos fires arrows at guards and knights charging at the group. Jaina stands on the opposite side of the platform, shooting numerous frostbolts on the ground.
:
:
:
Speak with Nathanos to continue:
:Good. You have managed to make a sleeping city very, very angry.
:Let's not waste time pointing fingers, shall we?

:
:Nathanos sets off a bomb, destroying the siege engines in the area. Most of the gathered forces move to fight the fire.

:Jaina, vexed, teleports away with her mageguards. The group starts boarding the ship. Lasan and his eagles also arrive.

:
:
:
:
:
:Thalyssra casts a spell to block cannon fire. Alliance soldiers come to the pier, attacking the ship while Rokhan and the two Deathguards defend it.
Speak with Talanji to continue:
:Regardless of what your warchief wants, I must return to my people. We are going to Zuldazar, as dis is my ship and dis is your only way out of Stormwind.
:Do you have a problem with dat?
