 * Barley McFrothbeard: I say we round up all these red-eyed demon freaks and send 'em right back to Outland with their pointy tails between their sissy legs!
 * N. Kagnito: I think calling them "demons" is a gross generalization. Why does everything has to have a label? I mean, who made them the bad guys all of a sudden?
 * Barley McFrothbeard: Oh, they only want to DESTROY AZEROTH, ya flea-brained twit!
 * N. Kagnito: Nonsense! They are just misunderstood.
 * Barley McFrothbeard: They'll kill us all, ya gibberin' buffoon!
 * N. Kagnito: Oh, I suppose you can read their minds all of a sudden.
 * Barley McFrothbeard: Their demonic energy corrupts and destroys!
 * N. Kagnito: I use demonic energy every day. I'm not corrupted.
 * Barley McFrothbeard: Your eyes are glowing!
 * N. Kagnito: Well, I... I have cataracts...
 * Barley McFrothbeard: And you have horns growing from yer—


 * —wait a minute. You're one of them, aren't ya? (shot sound)

PLEASE STAND BY  The commercial World of Warcraft Valentine's Day Commercial is played. MARCH IN THE MARSH
 * Mar'Lee: Well, dat was a close one.
 * N. Kagnito: Aaaaaaahhhh!
 * Barley McFrothbeard: (Clearing throat)
 * Mar'Lee: Uh, oh, now, let's go on-location to Wendy Breezy. How you doin', Wendy?
 * Wendy Breezy: Just super Mar'Lee, thanks! I'm standing here with Commander Duron, who is leading the Alliance Forces against the Burning Legion here at the Portal! Mr. Duron, tell us how you're holding up against these unending waves of demons?
 * Commander Duron: Well, Wendy, I...
 * Wendy Breezy: What's it's like to see your comrades gleefully dismembered by these marauding agents of evil?
 * Commander Duron: Oh, yes, oh, oh, uh, yes...
 * Wendy Breezy: Comrades who are undoubtedly leaving behind devastated orphans and widows!
 * Commander Duron: Maybe we should—

Special enviromental report from Zangarmarsh. Investigative report from Spoggle Greasecakes.
 * Mar'Lee: We go now to a special enviromental report with investigator journalist, Spoggle Greasecakes.
 * Unknown succubus #1: mob sound
 * Written on the reporter's screen: Shady Ventures


 * Spoggle Greasecakes: Well Mar'Lee we've known about the Venture Company's disregard for the enviroment for some time now... (clears throat)
 * Spoggle Greasecakes: But what you don't know is that there are new and sinester forces at work in Outland as well, in the tranquil ecosystem of Zangarmarsh.
 * Spoggle Greasecakes: This large mushroom, for instance, is being robbed of its natural gifts. This unscrupulous pilfering has drastically changed not only the local ecology, but the economy as well. As you can guess, the many pro-enviromental groups are not too happy about it.
 * Tala Snowgraze: What do we want?
 * Voices United: A clear marsh! A safe marsh!
 * Written on the reporter's screen: Circle of Defiance Rallying for the Cause


 * Tala Snowgraze: When do we want it?
 * Voices United: Now!
 * Spoggle Greasecakes: I attempted to interview the ogres on the subject, but they simply play dumb.
 * "The Big Chopper": What ecology means? ME SMASH YOU!
 * Spoggle Greasecakes: Truly, Zangarmarsh is a land beset by conflict.Its woes come not only from the ogres, but from the secret and sinester naga as well.
 * Tala Snowgraze: The naga... those vile creatures have begun draining the swamp precious waters for some unknown purpose. Of course, we have vowed to stop them.
 * Unknown tauren #1: Stop the draining!
 * Spoggle Greasecakes: We caught up with a naga spokesmen, who had this to say:
 * Mal'aga: Our enviromental expert assures us that our activities in Zangarmarsh are in no way harming the eviroment. Isn't that right Mr. Stickyfingers.
 * Mr. Stickyfingers: (nodded his face)
 * Unknown tauren #1: Stop the murder!
 * Written on the reporter's screen: March in the Marsh

WRATH IN SHATTRATH
 * Unknown harvest golem #1: Unfortunately it seems the evidence is clear: unless the Cenarion Circle gets help, the region of Zangarmarsh may be doomed.
 * Spoggle Greasecakes: Back to you, Mar'Lee!
 * Unknown succubus #1: mob sound
 * Mar'Lee: Shoking, mon! In udda news a foul odor swept across Shattrath City and into Terokkar Forest, sickenin' all da victims in its path.

Unknown odor wreaks havoc on city.
 * Khadgar: Never in all my days in Outland have I smelled such a terrible stench.
 * Khadgar: We have refugees from all over in this city, so the Light only knows where this noxious odor is emanating from.
 * Khadgar: We do know this much: it is silent, and it is deadly.
 * Strombone: Strombone was wondering, has anything like this happened before?
 * Khadgar: The only time we had a stench like this, Tobias had whipped up some sort of rare delicacy.
 * Tobias the Filth Gorger: I don't know what might be causing this alleged odor, but it would have to come from an object so rare and so foul... kind of like this rotten arakkoa egg here. It's unique in that it— oh! Excuse me!
 * Strombone: (Vomiting)
 * Gordie: It's a complete and total barf-o-rama! Run for your lives!
 * Mar'Lee: Da last time I seen something like dat was at a Level 70 ETC concert. Well, dat concludes our broadcast. Dis be Ancor Mar'Lee, and dat be da news!
