It's a shame that you can't just walk past this obvious trap in the quest called "Keep to the Path" after every friendly NPC you've met told you to stay on the path.

I haven't tested yet with another character, but I made Korenth do the song and dance for my help in the prior quest 'Wildseed Rescue', and Lady Moonberry comments on it at the conclusion of this one.
"So, you got Korenth to do the dance, huh?"
<Moonberry laughs.>
I knew I liked you, <Player>. I'll keep your name in mind in case I have any other odd jobs or favors to do.
NPC #1: Stay on the path!
NPC #2: Stay on the path!
Blizzard: Hey, here's a quest where you have to go off the path and almost get killed! And no, you can't just skip it. We're sadists like that.

What to do
Description
That's everything on the list for this part of the forest. Lady Moonberry said to meet her in Tirna Vaal. It's just down the road; I'm going to fly ahead so everyone knows to expect you. Just stay on the path and you won't be eaten. Probably. See you soon!

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.
