TheWoWDBThere must be a bug in this quest. I didn't get credit for the kill. I was certainly there and killed the dude. I was able to roll on the bracers.
I was on the Shaman quest Dreamseeker's Task and looted Walden's Talisman.
Of course I wasn't able to get my nice Lord Godfrey quest reward as a result of this.

It's easy to miss this quest. Both myself and one other player I know didn't even see it until after we'd killed Walden. Make sure you grab it when you can (unless it's a bug and it doesn't actually show up until then anyway).
Glitched since 2012 and they still haven't fixed it? (My L66 Paladin fell victim to this today.)

Description
Unsurprisingly, we aren't going to listen to Cromush about the plague. However, his brute strength will come in handy for muscling my men through the many foes ahead on the path to Godfrey, the most powerful being his right hand man, Lord Walden. I'll meet you in Walden's chamber after you finish him off. Then, at long last, we can completely take Shadowfang Keep for the Forsaken!
