Kristoff Manheim says: Is that the Twilight Apocrypha? I'll be boiled alive - it DOES exist!
Quest
Get Me Outta Here!
A World of Warcraft quest in Mount Hyjal. Facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
If you wait to do this quest until after you complete Elementary!, the Ogres are all neutral to you. Since Kristoff stealths, all you need to do is run to the exit and no ogres will fight you or him.
I fail to see the flavor text for Kristoff you don't complete the quest, but rather, tell him "no".
Even if you're in a super hurry to level, please PLEASE... stop long enough to tell him No and read what he has to say. It's so funny and so worth it. It's a little crude, but a pure riot. Don't worry, it won't ruin the quest string to tell him you're too busy to help him.
I wish I could undo quests so I can go back and screenshot the text for you guys. If someone wants to document it here, that would be awesome-sauce.

<You reach up to unfasten Kristoff's bonds.> Good! Make a break for the exit, and I'll follow. If we get separated, check back here to make sure I haven't been recaptured.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Gar'gol's Gotta Go
<Kristoff cranes his neck, trying to look you in the eye.> Listen, you gotta get me outta here. They're either going to eat me or turn me over to the Twilight's Hammer. Maybe both. They've padlocked me in, and Gar'gol keeps the key in his personal treasure chest.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Forged of Shadow and Flame
The weapons the Twilight's Hammer uses against us are crafted by Forgemaster Pyrenduis within these very halls. The metal slices through armor like cheese in the hands of its wielder. Yet, when captured, the steel turns brittle and shatters. So be it, <name>.
