A rough month had passed by between the party's venture to Hillsbrad. During that meantime, Drom Foebreaker took a journey a long way south to the Dark Portal, before he then from there made way back to Durotar.
It was perhaps coincidence that brought exactly them together again in Orgrimmar, but it was fortunate that they did; for Turuk Thunderhoof had been westward to Thunder Bluff and then on to The Crossroads to converse with one Tonga Runetotem about a mysterious surge of energy that had been sensed across The Barrens.
The two agreed that Turuk would head on to Orgrimmar, seek out his old companions there, and then return to Thunder Bluff after.
Meanwhile in Orgrimmar, Zachariah Hallowhold and Servius Felheart were perusing for supplies and magical utilities in the city. This caught them in a troubled situation in the Cleft of Shadows, though Servius managed to defuse it with his familiar, ominous flair.
Also in Orgrimmar, Gan Jedi had been trying to find out more about Unknown and his current whereabouts. In the Hunter's Hall, he spoke to familiar folk there and learned that the old half-ogre had last been seen headed westward.
It was in the Valley of Spirits that the threads first started to twine back together, and then later in the Valley of Honor -- in a small drinking establishment known as The Wyvern's Tail -- that the five all finally met again face to face. Just as they had in Hillsbrad before.
There, Turuk shared the missive he had received from Tonga Runetotem and the group discussed what to do. A plan was eventually laid, and all that remained was to find a way to get to The Crossroads.
Perhaps a caravan would be due to leave for The Barrens soon.
