Making their way further into the ruined temple, [[Valeera Sanguinar]] and [[Meryl Felstorm|Meryl Winterstorm]] confronted the increasingly hideous Cho'gall, mutated by the power of the Old God. Together they managed to recover Med'an, but in order to fend off Cho'gall and give them enough time to make their escape, Valeera was forced to willingly give her body to the dreadlord [[Kathra'Natir]] before the trio were able to teleport to safety. |

Cho'gall began performing the rites and channeled a great deal of energy, but Med'an was able to contain it within a ward around the ogre. Restoring [[Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian]] to its rightful state, Med'an focused the powers of the council through it to defeat Cho'gall, burying him beneath the rubble of Ahn'Qiraj. |
