Description
We are one stronger. Your help is invaluable.
Let's move on westward to Rensai's Watchpost to find the last member for our party.
If Taran Zun ditches you, then you can drop the quest and start it again just before the hollow treestump-bridge leading into Dread Wastes (near to where you fought the Mantid mini-boss with Ironbelly).
Item facts are the current retail client’s (ItemSparse); the specialisations for a pick-one item are the ones the Blizzard quest API lists; faction and currency text is the client’s own. Lowest listed price = the US commodity auction house now.
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.
Quests whose map markers the client places closest to this one on Townlong Steppes, nearest first. Distances are straight lines between the markers.

Good tip! This happened to me. I dropped the quest, but Taran didn't reappear at the tree bridge and reload didn't work. Logged out and back in and the NPC's with the quest were back.
