Vikstone's War Journal“The saronite bombs are in place, Vikstone. We’re only going to get one shot at this, however. Let’s make it count. We need temporary control of the area for a safe detonation. Let’s try to put a dent in the Scourge’s numbers.”
Temporary control. Ten of the things work those foundations, and they are not abominations, whatever they look like from the camp. Nothing about them is stitched. They come at you and they bite.
The first one had its teeth in my shoulder before I had finished committing to the swing. It leaves something in you, and for the next few breaths everything that lands on you lands harder than it ought to. They soften a man first and hit him second.
Then it put an uppercut into me and I went backward on my heels the better part of eight feet.
A man carrying two two-handed weapons has no answer to being launched out of his own reach again and again by something that only needs to knock him away and wait. So you take the bite, and you stay inside it, and you accept that the next thing to touch you will cost more than it should.
The Destroyer went into that one’s knee and the leg came apart at the joint. The axe finished it on the ground. After that it was the same nine times over.
The bomb stack sat about forty feet from where the last of them dropped.
“For the Alliance!” Kendall called out. “You’re as good as Thassarian said. Good job!”
A death knight told a living captain that I was worth having. I have not settled on what it was Thassarian thought he was measuring.
A cleared room and a stack of stolen saronite leave exactly one thing to do with them, and Kendall hands Vikstone the honor of being the man to Set it Off!
