Chapter Six – Gathering Force

Lorath hesitantly handed over a bag of gold to the banker.

“It’s all there, I assure you.” Stated Lorath.

“I will check just to be sure.” Muttered the banker.

Lorath couldn’t help but feel slightly uneasy in the Undercity, although he knew he should be safe the dark corridors and spooky scenes made his stomach rumble. The banker put the coins back into the pouch.

“Very good, you are now the proud owner of a Guild Bank Vault. If you require more storage space, enquire again at your nearest bank thank you for your custom.”

The Forsaken bowed, Lorath replied with a wave and left the counter. Walking up the stairs toward the Bat Riders Lorath heard someone yell.

“Who is the owner of this Poster?”

Turning Lorath saw a strange Forsaken female her most defining feature being a huge pillar of hair; she looked experienced with several pieces of armour Lorath knew had been awarded for combat against the Alliance. She was standing by Lorath’s crudely assembled poster.

“She must be looking for me I guess” Lorath thought to himself.

“Hail … Er, miss? If you are looking for the owner of that recruitment poster … You have found him.”

Lorath stood awkwardly a bit uncomfortable with his current situation. The Forsaken began to ask questions … lot’s of questions, Lorath knew he was supposed to keep his task hidden but it appeared this Forsaken knew more about The Alliance Watch and Saul than he did. Failing to keep his mouth sealed the Forsaken was able to pry Lorath’s true intentions on finding Saul’s body and brining him back as a Forsaken. The Forsaken’s name was Sabrina Strongman, she said she even knew an ex member of The Alliance Watch … “Her Partner” a Gnome apparently.

Sabrina joined The Horde Watch that day but she warned that Saul had better change his allegiance or there would be a fight to be had when the day finally came to do the deed. Lorath wondered if he was being a bit too trusting but what choice did he have? Saul’s corpse was probably in Alliance lands … perhaps even in a town, or maybe even Stormwind! He had no hope of finding it alone, despite the Order instructing him to keep his mission secret it was becoming increasingly unrealistic to do so.

As the days passed by Lorath slowly managed to spread the word of The Horde Watch and a few new interested parties came to ask about joining the cause. Three more stealthy agents signed up, Nianthil, and Zecht both Blood Elves, and a Forsaken named Ferromort. There was also a marksman interested in the defence of Horde settlements named Mooshyn.

Lorath was making visible progress though more and more questions were asked about The Watch’s hidden agendas starting to feel there was no way to keep Saul’s revival a secret Lorath planned to tell The Watch everything. He would do so at their first Garrison in Brill, it would be an ideal time to bring everything into focus.
