Kill mobs with 140K health to get (randomly) items to kill mobs with 250K health. Awful design.

Description
The skies are dark with Helya's kyrian followers. If we do not thin their numbers, Zerekriss and our aerial allies may have difficulties pushing forward. I've noticed that the Mawsworn often use magical chains. We could turn their equipment against them and tear them down from the sky.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Weapon in Hand
A moment, <name>. I threw my axe Dra'gora at Helya during our first encounter in the Maw, and I haven't seen it since. If this is truly where she commands her forces, then perhaps it's held here. I crafted that weapon in Nagrand, and it reminds me of many good days spent beside my family there.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Job Done Right
We should be clear to start the assault. Signal the Zerekriss. Let us show them the might of a Maldraxxian necropolis and the combined armies of the Shadowlands!
