TheWoWDBFor the warriors on this quest:
If you leap through the rooms to the quest turn in and aggro stuff, you will lose your guise and have to kill enemies back to the entrance.
Once you are back to the top of the steps and out of combat, you can hit the special button and use your guise again.

If KT is hostile and you can't turn this in, it's because your disguise fell off. Run back out to the entrance and you should get the extra action button again to reapply it and run back. You don't need to abandon the quest.

Description
The pieces are all coming together. The kyrian, the Paths of the First Ones, and runes of domination? Kel'Thuzad is looking to breach the Maw! We cannot allow this to happen! The Maw has been locked away from the Shadowlands for good reason. Opening that floodgate could be catastrophic! The baron is too powerful to confront headlong, so we will stop his ritual instead. Return to him with his reagents. I have made some "modifications" that should provide a calamitous end to his scheme.

Well then, since it was you who managed to procure the missing reagent, I find it only fair that you assist me with the final ritual!
