Abandoning the quest will not allow you to see other dialog choices. As of the first day of the patch, the optional dialogues remain completed, and you will need to reload your UI to complete the mandatory parts of the quest again.

Talking to Narvra during this quest, when mentioning to her that you get saved sometimes too, I had the option of telling her about being being saved from the legion ship at the end of Tomb of Sargeras! Seems there's a bunch of options you can unlock by doing certain quests/raids wherein you get saved by other characters. Love quests like these!

  • Bringing Disorder to OrderZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    How incredibly rude! I know we did not bring gifts, but this is hardly the way to greet visitors! There is no excuse for such terrible manners! Scoundrels! Cads! Brutes! <Rupert coughs into his hand.> What I meant to say was these watchers appear to be a threat.

  • A Tower YonderZaralek Cavern · Level 36-80

    <name>, I... don't want to ask more of you, but could you help us finally complete our mission? We were ordered to investigate the Gaze of Neltharion. We were defeated on our first approach, but with an escort of two dragons and the mighty <name>, I'm not as worried about the djaradin.
