You can't loot the bodies when you are mounted; it won't dismount you automatically. Bodies that have been already looted disappear after few seconds, but when they still lie on the ground they are glowing and the looting icon is active, like you can loot them once again, but actually you can't.

Description

A convoy of veteran troopers and Forsaken catapults were ambushed earlier today while attempting to cross Olsen's Farthing, directly south of here. It was a total loss: all troopers were killed and all catapults destroyed. Bloodfang's pack was responsible for the ambush, though likely they have all fled back into the hills, preparing their next cowardly strike. Their day will come, but for now I want you to go to Olsen's Farthing and honor our fallen. Recover their Forsaken insignias.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

    Thank the Warchief that you're here, <name>. I've made a critical error with the sea dogs and need your help to rectify the situation. You see, I sent them out against the worgen coming from Fenris Isle stone cold sober. They attacked the beasts and promptly got their butts handed to them.
