To keep going with this task, you need to help the little girl Pamela find her doll.
It's not hard, but it's kind of annoying.
Because the doll is already in pieces, and while you're looking, you'll run into ghosts of the people who used to live there.
But after helping Pamela get her favorite doll back, the little girl gets happy again.
'Thank you, you found it! You found my doll! Yay, my doll will help me chase away the bad guys, right!' Pamela held up the very old doll, showing a bright smile.
Then the little girl wants Ben and the others to keep helping her find her aunt and Uncle Carlin.
In Andorhal, in the Western Plaguelands, at a place called Regret Ridge, Ben and the others found Pamela's aunt, but her aunt had also turned into a ghost.
After finding out that Pamela sent Ben and the others to find her, she calmed down and told the players everything that had happened in Darrowshire.
It turns out that many years ago, when the undead Scourge invaded Lordaeron, Darrowshire's connection to the main Alliance forces was cut off.
At that time, there was only a team of paladins and soldiers led by Pamela's father, Captain Joseph Redpath, in the town. The people of Darrowshire fought hard against the undead Scourge's attack.
Under the leadership of Captain Joseph Redpath and with the help of the local paladin garrison, they fought bravely and crushed the Scourge's attacks again and again.
But without any reinforcements, they faced the undead Scourge's attacks like a tide.
The little girl's father, Captain Joseph Redpath, had his soul controlled by black magic in a battle, and he betrayed them at the last minute to become another minion of the Scourge, and Darrowshire was finally destroyed.
Along with little girl Pamela's task.
Ben and the others weren't focused on the task rewards anymore.
Instead, they focused on the story.
They wanted to help the innocent and cute little girl Pamela as much as possible.
Next, they found the ring buried under Joseph's tombstone in the graveyard, and came to the northwest of Andorhal.
They found the gnome priest Chromie in an abandoned inn.
Chromie tells the players that they might be able to save the souls of the enslaved warriors and residents, including the little girl Pamela's father, Captain Joseph.
But just with what they have now, it's not enough to wake up Captain Joseph Redpath.
To save him, they can only go back to Darrowshire's past through a medium and a ritual, and then they might be able to save the warrior's soul.
So in the town center of Andorhal, the group found a book called 'The History of Darrowshire'.
It recorded what had happened in Darrowshire in even more detail.
Next is a pretty long trip to collect items. First, they go to Light's Hope Chapel to find Captain Joseph's brother Carlin, and then they have to find Paladin Davil's holy book and Captain Joseph's shield.
It can be said to be quite troublesome. If Ben and Zack had known from the start that this task was so troublesome, they wouldn't have done it at all.
It's just like the follow-up task they received from a level 61 elite named Tirion Fordring in the Plaguelands before.
It was incredibly annoying. Of course, the NPC's lines at the time were very impressive.
'Race does not define honor. I have seen orcs who are as respectable as the noblest knights; I have also seen humans who are as evil as the most cruel undead Scourge.'
This line made a deep impression on Ben. There are good and bad in the Horde, and the same is true for the Alliance.
But the follow-up to this NPC's task is simply maddening. They even have to enter Stratholme.
Although this Darrowshire task is not simple either.
Resonating Skull, Mysterious Crystal, Hoggus's Head, Marduk's Broken Sword, Relics of the Battle of Darrowshire.
They traveled all over the Plaguelands.
Finally, they gave these ritual items to the gnome priest Chromie.
Chromie solemnly tells Ben and the others that if they want to save Captain Joseph Redpath's soul.
Then these conditions must be met.
Make sure Davil survives before Hoggus dies, make sure Joseph Redpath survives before he falls, and defeat Joseph Redpath after he falls.
After confirming these key points, Ben placed the Relic Package in the center of the square as instructed.
The souls of the residents of Darrowshire were awakened, and they will also participate in that past battle.
As the magic ritual progresses, it seems that countless ghosts of Darrowshire can be seen fighting in the flames.
Countless undead are shouting, countless heroic souls are roaring.
Those words from the Darrowshire battle were passed to Ben and the others through these souls.
'The kingdom has abandoned us, we have no hope!'
The confused shouts of the Darrowshire guards came from their ears.
It was the helplessness of fighting to the death and still not being able to win, the despair of resisting to the end and still being slaughtered.
'Where is the Silver Hand? We need their help!'
The desperate soldiers shouted, defeating the undead Scourge again and again, but what they got in return was an even more violent attack.
Maybe they didn't know that all information about Darrowshire could not be sent out.
But even so, these warriors continued to fight until the last moment, guarding Darrowshire and guarding their home.
With Chromie's magic, the undead of Darrowshire were awakened, and once again reliving the war they would never forget.
The Scourge attacked again, and the alarm bells of Darrowshire rang out.
Countless soldiers picked up their weapons and resisted the undead Scourge's attack at every intersection in the town.
Rampaging skeletons, evil undead, the Scourge army surged like a tide.
Darrowshire's defense line seemed so fragile.
Even though Ben and the team were holding on in it, they still felt powerless.
The endless undead Scourge, like a tide, seemed to be able to swallow everything.
If you kill one, two more will appear. Everything was so desperate.
As the Darrowshire defense line fell back, a firm voice rang through Darrowshire.
'Darrowshire, don't give up hope! We will not fail!'
That was the Silver Hand Knights stationed in Darrowshire. With the addition of the paladin squad led by Davil, the Scourge's advance suddenly stopped.
Clusters of holy light lit up on the town's defense line. The holy light was like a stimulant, injecting hope and vitality into everyone's heart.
'Davil! The Holy Light illuminates your heart, I will dig it out!'
The ghoul king Hoggus also joined the battle, and the Scourge's offensive suddenly tightened.
The defense circle of Holy Light faintly showed signs of collapse. Davil immediately led a few knights and charged towards Hoggus.
Seeing Davil surrounded by the ghoul king, Ben and the others immediately rushed to help.
'Hoggus has been killed! Cheer up, Darrowshire guards!'
With Ben and the others' help, Hoggus's head was cut off.
But the ghoul king's poison was about to take Davil's life.
Even the Holy Light could not save Davil's corrupted body.
As the war progressed, Captain Joseph Redpath loudly encouraged the soldiers.
'Guardians of Darrowshire! Gather together! We must defeat them!'
Under Joseph's leadership, morale rose again.
Hold on, just hold on a little longer, a little longer, and Darrowshire can be defended!
But the next moment, a skeletal war horse appeared on the battlefield along with black mist.
A death knight in black armor appeared.
'Redpath! Join us!'
Doomarc's long sword was swung, and the next moment, Captain Joseph Redpath's body was enveloped in a black aura, struggling and kneeling on the ground.
Under Doomarc's evil magic, Joseph Redpath fell.
'Darrowshire! This is destined!' The fallen Captain Joseph Redpath said coldly.
For a time, screams and cries filled the air. Darrowshire seemed to have fallen into a terrifying hell.
In history, Darrowshire was destroyed by the betrayal of the fallen Joseph Redpath.
But now, with Ben and the others joining, history will not repeat itself. The souls of Joseph Redpath and the people of Darrowshire will be saved.
