The "ride with" part of this quest is not mandatory or a caravan you click on or anything like that. You just mount up and ride along side with the two NPCs if you want to hear some RP. Alternatively, you can just ride to the destination on your map at your own convenience and complete it just the same.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

    That thing is huge! The Shado-Pan holding the battlefront were never trained for something like this... let's get down there and take it out ourselves.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Enraged By HatredTownlong Steppes · Level 25-35

    These scorpions are infected with sha. It seems to have driven them out of their hole and into our camp, seething with hatred at invaders in their territory. We need to clear the scorpions and secure the camp. Kill any you find.
