Dialogue:

Come to finish the job, have you?
I want to die like an orc...
<name>?
<name>, I'd recognize that face anywhere... What... What have they done to you, <name>?
You don't remember me, do you? Blasted Scourge... They've tried to drain you of everything that made you a righteous force of reckoning. Every last ounce of good... Everything that made you an orc!
Think, <name>. Think back. Try and remember Durotar, sister! Remember the sacrifices our heroes made so that we could be free of the blood curse. Harken back to the Valley of Trials, where we were reborn into a world without demonic influence. We found the splendor of life, <name>. Together! This isn't you. You were a champion of the Horde once!
Listen to me, <name>. You must fight against the Lich King's control. He is a monster that wants to see this world - our world - in ruin. Don't let him use you to accomplish his goals. You were once a hero and you can be again. Fight, damn you! Fight his control!
Knight Commander Plaguefist yells: What's going on in there? What's taking so long, <name>?
There... There's no more time for me. I'm done for. Finish me off, <name>. Do it or they'll kill us both. <name>... For the Horde! This world is worth saving.
Do it, <name>! Put me out of my misery!

Edit: Fixed line.

so we cant kill like the gnome if we choose orc, its gotta be the orc?

Comment by oliveoyle

For anyone who had a bit of trouble figuring out how to talk to the guy... you just walk up to him and right click then wait. Eventually he just starts talking , when he's done you kill him.

actully u just walk up on mount or ground

Comment by UlrichKrieghund

I was moved by ol' Kug Ironjaw's stories of us together in life and left the jailhouse, giving the rude goodbye to the commander at the gate. However, when I tried to ride out of the plaguelands, I ran into an invisible wall. I don't really enjoy quests with no choices. When do I get to take off my helmet and join Obi-Wan and Yoda?

Comment by Kadreal

If you for example, got the Unholy pet by now, if you make the pet attack him, you won't get credit for the quest.

Comment by Camundongo

This, along with Undead's version of the quest, are the saddest in my opinion. To break free from one evil's grip, rise up against it and fight for your people, only to fall again whilst doing so and loosing all your free will to another force of evil is pretty tragic.

Comment by volcano

As Kug stopped talking, I looked around the room in a hurry.
My heart was pounding inside my chest as Commander Plaguefist yelled orders at me.
I didn't want to murder Kug, my fellow blood brother.

Then he died and respawned. Oh well...

First time I wanted to read all the text and he died before I could kill him >.> I killed him 3 more times after that =D

This thing is really sad though =(

Comment by Epr0n

lol, i've actually manage to fail this twice now!

As you are unholy you get a pet, don't even think about kill the poor orc with the pet. As the second time i'd try. My pet was on defence and in some way, got the first blow... So put ur ghoul on passive in this quest, unless you don't wanna listen to the story 3 times ^^

I had to use Icy Touch to get it to complete for me with my pet put away

Comment by valdazzar

Get into the nearby house (55.83) talk to the same race as you (if you are tauren talk to a tauren) and then, after he finishes his talk, kill him

A Special Surprise

Knight Commander Plaguefist at the Chapel of the Crimson Flame has ordered you to execute Kug Ironjaw, an Argent Dawn prisoner inside the nearby prison house.

	Kug Ironjaw slain (1)

Description

We got here, tore the place apart, and headed toward the prison house. We weren't expecting what we found in there, <name>. Seems the Crusade's been real busy. That whole thing is full of Argent Dawn prisoners. Most of them were already dead by the time we arrived, but a few were still breathing.

I was about to go in there and execute the rest of them, but I think you should have the honors. In particular, there's a real feisty orc in there that I think you'll take great pleasure in executing.
