Parts of the monolog Runas is holding while you fight him:
"Wait... what is that you're holding?"
"Quite an impressive weapon, my friend!"
"Very painful to be hit with."
If this NPC's voice sounds familiar, he was also the voice of many other WoW characters, as well as tons of movies in the last few decades.

What to do
Description
I fell so quickly, {name}. I am not as strong as I once was. We truly do need your help. One of these disgusting creatures ran off with several of the whelplings. I heard him called by name: Runas. I will survive. Home is not far. You still have strength, though. Slay this Runas before he does any more damage to our brood.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Withered
The withered are the worst kind of pest. They capture our whelplings, knock them unconscious, and then drink whatever mana they can from the helpless babes. Normally our drakes and keepers would fend them off. Today, it looks like we may need your help.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Consumed
<The whelpling is alive, but unconscious. One of the withered must have already drained it of mana.> <You've already learned that exposed ley crystals contain a small amount of magical energy. Perhaps you can use one to revive some of the whelps.>
