Jovia mulled over information from the scrying devices, very disturbed.
Thrall is aware of the spy in his midst. But why would Jovia's masters involve the young adventurers in uncovering the plot, which they . . . no, I dare not say it, even in my thoughts. I care nothing for the spy, who deserves the fate that is coming to him, but, I like not how this is unfolding.
The GF, as Jovia was already thinking of the five, prepared well for their first major test. When informed of their audience with Thrall, they were not afraid (well, maybe a little, but who wouldn't be, mused Jovia). Respectful and quick with their tasks, Thrall had no reason to squash them on the spot. Jovia shuddered slightly at a memory of an irritated Thrall that she did not dwell too long on. They fooled Naaru, too, a difficult accomplishment, even managing to get his blessing to enter Ragefire Chasm.
The GF took that task seriously indeed. Time to make my report, as my masters are not the patient sort.
The Ragefire Chasm Task
You should be pleased with this report. Five challenges were set, all within the elite realm of RFC. All five returned alive, and all challenges were met and accomplished. I must assume that you intended for the spy, Naaru, to be exposed to the scrutiny of Thrall, and that you intended for agents Bazzalan and Jergosh to be defeated. Their corpses rot in the Chasm now. (Jovia could not help but add that last. And maybe it would goad the master's into revealing something).
Taragamon the Hungerer has also fallen to their combined might, something perhaps you did not expect. Naaru thinks he wins Thrall's favor through these adventurer's conquests while at the same time he has been exposed by the same. The danger to the group grows with these deceits, which they are unaware of.
About the group itself, I know you are very interested.
(Jovia paused before continuing. I had not intended to reveal the naming by the group. But they have gone so far as to apply for guild membership, a public record of which the master's will quickly be aware of. Best to make a clean report on it before that happens.)
They have named themselves The Grunt Foundation, and have applied for guild membership. Their success in RFC is spreading among the horde and likely guarantees that they will receive permission to form their own guild.
They show a strong sense of teamwork and have taken to each other as brothers and sisters in arms. They have the potential to become a force to be reckoned with. A force to be wielded. Already they surpass all that past group's have accomplished. They pass your test. (Even though I have yet to decipher it's true purpose, she reminded herself).
I myself am a bit curious as to what task you will now apply them to.
A Missive From the Master's to Jovia - Do not query us on our motives, Jovia, Innkeeper of Wayfarer's Rest. The fates of minor powers such as dwell beneath the city of Orgrimmar are of no import. The group has proved adequate. So far.
We will ensure your "GF" get their guild tabard. Your task - Continue to hone their skills. Do not fail in this, as their fate rests in your hands.
