TheWoWDBKeli'dan the Breaker is behind a locked iron gate that automatically opens when you get close to it. It's a straight shot to him, since he's right in front of the quest NPCs behind his gate. Upon accepting, Yrel and Maraad run off - DON'T FOLLOW THEM. They'll catch up with you later.
Exarch Maladaar says: This acolyte and I will retrieve the rest of our group. Do everything in your power to stop that orc from opening that portal!
Yrel says: We will return with help.
Keli'dan the Breaker yells: You - from beyond the portal! You will make a marvelous sacrifice.
Keli'dan the Breaker yells: The void consumes you!
Keli'dan the Breaker yells: Ner'zhul...Help me...
Ner'zhul says: Worthless...
Ner'zhul says: Your scurrying is at an end, rats.
Archmage Khadgar says: Not so fast, Ner'zhul.
Ner'zhul says: Yes...step closer! I will bury you alive for the glory of the Iron Horde!
Thrall yells: Khadgar! Get us out of here!
Archmage Khadgar says: That was close.
Archmage Khadgar says: There is no turning back. We press on, through the very jaws of the beast.Next quest - Prepare for Battle.
While you're turning in the quest, Thrall spends the time asking the elements to help buff the people you rescued. It gives no visible buffs to them, but the spell effects are fun to watch. This is also a great time to get a screenshot of yourself with both Thrall and Farseer Drek'Thar, since it is one of the last safe spots to do so before the next part of the quest line. And the click quotes they've got are hilarious! =D
Thrall yes: Fury of Water, heal our injured!
Thrall yes: Fury of Earth, grant these heroes your protection!
Thrall yes: Fury of Fire, ignite our fists and weapons!
Thrall yes: Fury of Wind, honor these soldiers with your presence!

In the Draenor that became Outland and not our alternate timeline, Keli'dan the Breaker was the final boss of Blood Furnace. See [npc=17377].
The quest is broken for me. After killing Keli'dan nothing happens, Nerzul doesn't show up and i'm stuck in the cave.
Redone the quest 10 times, same thing every time. Tried reloading, exiting the game.
Anyone experiencing this? Possible solution?

Description
One of Ner'zhul's lieutenants remains, up ahead. The exit to the cave isn't much farther past him. I will go back and tell Khadgar that the cave is clear. We will rendezvous once you've taken care of Keli'dan!
