You can't leave the zone while in Ben's body. I wanted to see if I could go to Stormwind as a horde. You cannot. haha
If you try to drown Ben in the lake.... It spawns you as a ghost of your character at the graveyard and when you go back to collect your body, you are no longer in the vehicle of Ben and cannot complete the quest.

What to do
Description
A Bearer's duty is to carry souls through the veil to Oribos, where they shall be judged and passed along to one of the realms of the Shadowlands. This soul is ready to move on. During this trial, you will experience his final moments before his death. When you are prepared, you shall see how this soul passed.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To Cross the Veil
Pallessa found a scroll detailing the ritual. We will need to take our positions and speak a chant, surrendering some of our anima with every word. Your presence is vital. I ask you to use the censers to burn the incense as we meditate. The rest should unfold on its own.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Food on the Table
I'm making a stew for dinner tonight, but it seems we're missing rabbit meat. Would you be able to go out back and collect some for me? Oh and do be careful, I heard howling earlier. The wolves aren't normally out during the day.
