Chasing the Leader and the follow-on quest, Backup While I Pack Up

After wailing on the waves of NPCs and being disappointed to have failed by dieing just at the end of Chasing the Leader,

I ran back from the graveyard, ressurected, and tried fighting a few more waves... I was not showing any progress and did a little
inspection before abandoning the quest.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that I actually HAD completed the first quest while expiring, and was now working on...

a FAILED Backup While I Pack Up!

I abadoned and redid the follow-on quest with no problem. Since the questgiver also receives BOTH of these quests right there
in the cave, it was serendipitous!

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.
