Don't take the Uplifting Draft up this time. You don't want to go up there. If you did, and got stuck (like me), you can cross the bridge to the west and jump back down the north side of the cliff there without dying.

Head south down the stairs, keep going to you reach the first door. You will have 3 companions by this time. Open the door, head for the next door (just follow your 3 NPC companions), each will try and open the door, which finally opens because someone figured out they had a key. Then progress up the hill to the quest giver for your next quest.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • The Suffering of Shen-zin SuThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    Now is not the time to grieve. The balloon is ready, and Shen-zin Su awaits. We shall be the first pandaren to speak to Shen-zin Su in hundreds of years. It is a great honor.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Preying on the PredatorsThe Wandering Isle · Level 1-20

    The forest has become far more dangerous ever since Shen-zin Su began shaking. The tigers are agitated and have begun attacking the refugees, and on occasion, me as well. If these injured and weak survivors are to make it to safety here at the hut, we need to help clear the forest for them.
