TheWoWDBDon'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.

Description
As Lilian has pointed out, it seems we have a final visitor. Shall we go pay him a visit?

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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Return to the Harbor
With the scepter in hand, let us return to the portal. I believe Stone would agree with me when I say that it is best for us to get away from Kul Tiras for a while.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Aid of the Tides
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.
