TheWoWDBJust use the pendant next to the quest giver and you'll be turned into a stormcrow. You do not get to control the movemnts of the bird so if you need to AFK for a minute or two, now is the time. When you get back you'll be able to turn in the quest, no work required. :)

StorylineZangarmarsh, step 3 of 64
Rewards3,100 XP
Description
We must determine how widespread the naga's activity truly is and react accordingly. Exploring each body of water in Zangarmarsh could be a lengthy undertaking. If you allow me to, I will use my magic to mold your shape to one more suited to scouting the marsh. Hold this amulet above the balcony near me when you're ready to begin. I will guide your way back to safety after we're done.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Warm Welcome
While the druids from the expedition have made themselves busy studying plants and researching the lakes, I've made it my business to deal with the hostiles in the area. Ever since we set foot in Zangarmarsh, the naga have launched lethal attacks against us without warning.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Balance Must Be Preserved
I cannot begin to comprehend why the naga would drain the water out of their own habitat. What I do understand is a need to put a stop to their operations. These seeds carry with them the rage of the earth. Take them to the steam pumps operated by the naga and use them on their controls.
