TheWoWDBAll for the feeling of danger but did so many mobs have to come that I couldn't take in the cut scene?

The mobs don't actually interrupt anything, you can stand out of range and not be attacked (or stealth), they just despawn and you still get credit for it.
I stood just behind [npc=94645] on the waters edge and watched.
Edit: When I'm doing it on alts I just battle [npc=94645], the mini event usually ends just before the battle does (You can still see the dialog in the battle)
stupid quest. A ton of mobs come and you are supposed to protect Rashad which can be hard for some classes.
What I do is I start the quest by talking to Rashad then I go do the legendary pet battler right by him (bleakclaw). By the time the pet battle is done the quest is over with and you can just turn it in to Rashad (i.e. you really didn't need to protect him or fight any of the mobs).

Baleful Girdle, 33g 96s, 1,350 XPDescription
You skim through the pages of the tome, most of them filled with notes on the nature of shadow and illusion. On the last pages you discover a journal: I continue to search for a cure to the curse of Sethe. If Terokk was restored I would not be in this situation. Damn Reshad! I was contacted by an orc that identified himself as Gul'dan. He has a cure for the curse! I must travel to Tanaan to search for the location of this "cipher" of his. Take this information to Reshad.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Get a Clue
Aktar mentioned that in the ruins he's seen Sethekk, ogres, even demons, but no sign of Iskar. We're going to have to go in there if we're to find any clues and I'd prefer someone strong like yourself to lead the way. Well, what do you say?
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.
- Garrison Campaign: The Warlock
Commander, you have a visitor. One of Gul'dan's warlocks just walked up to the base and surrendered. He says he has information of a terrible event that is about to occur. I suggest you speak with him immediately.
