Taoshi says: I'll handle the rest of this. You take those arrows and get to the action at the bridge.
Translation: I'll stay here where it's safe since you killed everything. You take those items I didn't lift a finger to help you with and go put your life in harm's way again.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Taking Stock
I was dispatched back to camp to gather pitch-tipped arrows for our archers at the bridge, and this is what I came to. I trained with most of these pandaren... I wasn't prepared for this. Still, the archers at the bridge need our help.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Up In Flames
The mantid coming across the bridge have thick carapaces that shrug off most of our attacks. They have a weakness though: fire. Lao-Chen's men brought kegs to the battlefield for exactly this purpose. Kick the kegs into groups of mantid, and Lao-Chin's archers will light them up.
