Simple fight, easily soloable. The mob has no special abilities, but is surrounded by level 66-67 non-elite's. She slightly patrols down the pathway, so it is possible to pull without having to fully clear the area. 46, 32.
You can use your flying mount in the tunnel, and find her fairly quickly using /target Draaca. Just wait until there's no one around her, fly down, slay her, then fly back to the questgiver.

Description
With the Blackwing wyrmcultists massing in the tunnel, we're hard pressed to deal with the situation. Quite frankly, they have the numbers. And while we've been able to take care of any of their people that get too close, the fact remains that if they attack in earnest, we're going to be overrun. The situation calls for someone to get through to the other end of the tunnel, and take out their leader, Draaca Longtail. Up for some fun?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Wyrmskull Watcher
Hmm, I'm not certain what we should do. I'm not much of a military planner. Watcher Moonshade will know what to do. He's heading up our defensive efforts at the Wyrmskull Tunnel to the west at the end of Wyrmskull Bridge. We have a force out there just in case the cultists try anything funny.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Meeting at the Blackwing Coven
I know what must be done! <name>, you must pose as Overseer Nuaar and attend that meeting! The wyrmcultists at the coven all have a standard outfit that they wear, so go collect scraps from them, and when you have enough, put together a disguise.
