Don't engage in combat until Nathanos starts to walk away (after the RP is finished). Seems to be a bug where he doesn't go to the cave for the turn-in if you fight too soon.
wait that nathanos goes back to the cave before attack the mob, or the quests bugs and you have to abandon and repeat it

Wow, what a complete waste of time getting this questline has been (getting Valentine). The dude is just killed without doing anything. They should have made the questline about getting Proudmoore instead of Valentine since this was obviously what the real objective was.

Part 10 of 13.
We now have the perfect bait to draw the Kul Tiran military away from their capital city of Boralus. This will buy us time to obtain our ultimate goal: the Abyssal Scepter.

With Derek's body and the Abyssal Scepter in stow, our undertaking here today is complete. Let us escape under their noses. When you are ready, let us return to Zuldazar. Sylvanas will want to hear of our victories.
