If you click on the NPC, seems like she only gives "annoyed" voice lines instead of having to click on them multiple times to get them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Offerings to G'huun
Been watchin' these cultists with both good eyes. Those big glowin' jars o' theirs look important. Opened one up and it sent a shiver down me spine, but nothin' seemed worth the takin'. If it ain't worth stealin', I guess it's worth smashin'.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Lessons of the Damned
When I arrived here in disguise, the blood trolls thought me some sort of messenger of their Blood God. I seized the advantage and played into their primitive beliefs. I came here intending to open trade and learn how we can work with them against the Horde.
