TheWoWDBThis quest one of the best examples why story/lore based quests, scenarios should have been phased, it quckly breaks the immersion when you grab your way into the supposedly heavy guarded ship, but nobody's home because ppl continously spawning and clearing the place, triggering scipted events way before you reach it on your own, spoilering the story.

To complete the quest you need to land on board to the ship. Use [1] button to go.
Use rope ladder to get into the deck after landing on the water surface.
You need to kill few undeads to proceed, also you can take Broadside Bedlam from the cannon.After comleting the task go outside and use extra button to call for Falstad.
If no button appears you may try to jump into the water and swim away. It worked for me.Behind Enemy Boats - www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwQizVlJXv8
Press the gryphon ability to fly near the ship then use rope to climb it.
Kill 10 sailors on the ship. To turn in quest go on the ship's deck where Falstad will take you.Behind Enemy Boats quest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFu-4Cmi8b4

Description
This is where our information ends, {name}. Blood Prince Dreven is lurking in one of those Forsaken boats, but we don't know which boat or which section of that boat he's in. We'll split up and hit the boats simultaneously, so the Horde has less time to react. If Dreven isn't on the boat you scout, abandon it and join me on the other one. If he's not on my boat, I'll do the same. We'll take down Dreven together. Don't get distracted. Our resources are limited. Dreven is our only target today.

Storyline
Blood in the Water
Part 3 of 11.
We've intercepted a Horde missive, and learned that Blood Lord Dreven is currently aboard a Horde ship on the Great Sea. We've lost too many good men to Dreven. It's time to make him pay.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Hunting Blood Prince Dreven
Between the information I gathered from my scouting mission and Mathias Shaw's intel, we know exactly where Blood Prince Dreven is going to be. We will have our revenge, <name>. For ourselves, for my sisters, for the Alliance. We won't underestimate the san'layn this time.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Broadside Bedlam
<The ship's cannons are currently pointed at the other Forsaken ship across the water. However, it appears the crew hasn't loaded them with gunpowder or cannonballs yet... Probably to avoid any accidental firings while they're anchored here.
