I have always loved Chen since he was first introduced in 2003. I wish he'd wear his hat in WoW he looks cooler with it on.
This quest gave me vibes of Old GTA: San Andreas, with Big Smoke stuffed his stomach while we drove a car in the middle of the gangwar

Description
It is most fortuitous that you found this brew, and a yak to carry it on! But we cannot remain here. Li Li has healed me up enough to travel. We can ride the yak back to the gate and hope that the mogu do not notice our passing. Let me know when you are ready to leave.

- Liquid Courage
We have to do something about all these mogu. At least to thin their ranks before they invade the Vale! As much as Uncle Chen loves his brew, I think we can put it to better use. Let's hop onto that yak and give the mogu something to fear!
