Assault on the Rotbrain Encampment

Darnell: "Their leader goes by the name of Marshal Redpath, and he's an absolute beast."

Marshal Redpath: "I'm a monster, don't look at me!"

The Assault on the Rotbrain Encampment took place outside of Deathknell at the Rotbrain Encampment during the Alliance-Horde War.

Quest

 * Forsaken players participate in the battle during the quest.

Background
While most of the new undead resurrected by the Val'kyr ended up becoming useful soldiers of the Forsaken, some arose as mindless zombies, which were promptly destroyed. However, some, while not mindless, were psychologically unstable after their rebirths, their heads filled with mental aberrations. These undead, dubbed the Rotbrain undead, rallied under Marshal Redpath, gathering in force to take Deathknell. Executor Arren organized a small force of Deathguards to stop these rebels, and instructed Darnell to gather adventurers to help.

The Assault
A ferocious group, the Rotbrain refused to go down without a fight, offering a tough, though unorganized resistance, while their insane leader simply watched. Confronted by Forsaken agents, Redpath lashed out in a brutal attack, but was ultimately slain. Few Deathguards were lost in the battle, while the Rotbrain suffered a total defeat.

Aftermath
Adventurers returned to Shadow Priest Sarvis at the end of the battle to collect their rewards. Sarvis expressed his sadness at having to exterminate the Rotbrain, noting that some reanimated undead retain enough humanity to seem normal outside, but are sick within. Darnell was promoted to the rank of Deathguard for his help in the battle, while adventurers were sent to work at the Calston Estate.
