TheWoWDBThe 5 Forsaken Troopers are following me everywhere I go now. I do not know how to get rid of them. I hearthed to UC, there they were. I flew to Silverpine to start questing there, hopped off my flight, there they were.
At least I can't complain I am lonely. I hope they don't expect me to feed them or anything.
Edit: It seems after a certain period of time, they dissappear all on their own! Whew!

A World of Warcraft quest in Western Plaguelands. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
After getting your 5 Forsaken, work your way down the left side. Kill one target at a time until you get to the corpse of Thessarian. I tried the right and the center but died.
Good Hunting Horde!
This quest seems to be bugged again. There is no way to complete the 'Forsaken Trooper Mobilized" portion of the quest. When you kill a Frightened Provincial Minuteman and your val'kyr converts him, he just despawns. The "call to arms" ability does not seem to be showing up. Unless I'm doing something wrong (and I've tried a lot of things) the quest is not able to be completed at this time.

Minuteman Pike, Lurid Bracers, Shoulderwraps of the Enthralled, 6,200 XPDescription
You have no idea how difficult it was to stay disguised while I watched Koltira let this war slip away from us. Even now, those infernal farmers threaten to overwhelm us. All because he refused to slay a friend. Take my val'kyr again, {name}. With her by your side, kill these farmers, convert them to Forsaken, and mobilize them. Then take a group of them into Alliance-held western Andorhal and hunt down this death knight, Thassarian. We will win this war yet.

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lindsay Ravensun, Revealed
I was informed that that worthless woman, Lindsay Ravensun, would be here to support me in this battle, but so far, she's done nothing but brood within the basement of the greathall behind me. All the better, I suppose. She was a bit of a distraction.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Andorhal, Once and For All
Sylvanas will want to know about Thassarian's departure from Andorhal. You resolve to return to the Forsaken-held side of town.
