Archivist Spearblossom rescued
He is in the air at the spot your map takes you. If you're like me looking on the ground, you won't find him. He's flying around.Spelunker Lazee rescued
Go to the spot on your map where he should be and you'll find him hanging from a rock under your feet. You have to turn your camera at an angle to see him in the crevasse below. Jump into the hot stuff and quickly click him then run out.

Large Green Bag, 28g 9s, 9,500 XPDescription
Don't mistake the expedition's scholarly pursuits as timidness, {name}. We are not recluses studying books in far-off towers. We are adventurers, hunting down knowledge first-hand in every corner of Azeroth! That passion for adventure often leads us onto the path of perils and hazards, and a few expedition members have bitten off a little more than they could chew...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- To the Dragon Isles!
Our preliminary expedition has made landfall in the Dragon Isles. Thanks to the efforts of those brave Dragonscale Expedition members, we've established a protected landing site in the Dragon Isles and made contact with the dragonflight's embassy.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Primal Pests
<Cindrethresh glances suspiciously at the proto-dragons lurking on the ridge behind her.> I'd swear that those proto-dragons edge closer to camp every time I turn my back... Those are not the dragons Ebyssian invited us here to meet. Proto-dragons are ruthless predators who cannot be reasoned with.
