Here is the full storyline quest text, played as a Nightborne Mage.
Storyline Overview:
Location: [zone=6451]
[npc=10176]:
Finally, you are of age, <name>... of age to battle in the name of the Horde. To conquer for the glory of the Warchief.
Yes...
<Kaltunk looks you over.>
You will do nicely.
No doubt you wish to find a great dragon or demon and strangle it with your bare hands, but perhaps it would be wise to start on something less... dangerous.
<Kaltunk laughs.>
Report to Gornek, he should be able to assign a task better suited to a young <class>. You will find him seated at the fire behind me.[Speak with [npc=3143].]
[npc=3143]:
Another one of Kaltunk's recruits, hm?
A sorry state of affairs we find ourselves in if this is the best the Horde can produce. No matter. By the time we think you're ready to leave the Valley, you'll be a proud warrior of the Horde.
The first order of business will be to put a little strength in your backbone. I could send you out to the Barrens to hunt kodo, but well, in all honesty, you're more useful to us alive than dead.
I believe you'll be of more use to us slaughtering the boars you'll find in the farms to the north and northeast of here.[Slaughter 6 [npc=3098]s.]
[npc=3143]:
Hmmm, not bad, <name>. But don't let it get to your head...you'll fight tougher than boars in your career.
Nonetheless, you've proven yourself well, and your next trial will be against a considerably more dangerous opponent, so you'll need some extra protection.
You're not just another grunt - you seem to be a serious <class>. Good, because that's exactly what I need.
Try not to let the word out, since I don't want to cause a panic... but there have been reports of more humans nearby. This is an egregious betrayal of the peace that we negotiated with that miserable Jaina Proudmoore! We can't allow humans here in Durotar, and especially not here in the Valley.
You will find them to the south. Slay them quickly, before their numbers increase any more.[Slay 7 [npc=39317]s.]
[npc=3143]:
Executed with quickness and discretion. A job well done.
I must send you back into the fields again, <class>. You will find large numbers of scorpids northwest of here. Bring me eight of their tails.
The antidote for their sting is actually made from venom extracted from their stingers. We keep large quantities of antidote for scorpid venom on hand to heal young bloods just like you...
But I'm sure you won't be needing any of that, will you?[Obtain 8 [item=4862]s.]
[npc=3143]:
The carapace of a scorpid isn't so thick that the strength of a determined warrior will be deterred. Strike strongly and without doubt, and the scorpids should prove easy prey.
There is an important lesson that you must take away from fighting scorpids. The smallest or largest of opponents can still send you to your doom. In fierce combat, any number of things can prove your downfall.
I have no more to teach you, <name>. You have done well, and I will watch your progress with interest.
