TheWoWDBAfter accepting this quest, you will be given a mount. The horse will run and navigate on its own. Your horse will stop momentarily at the top of some stares before charging. At this point quickly locate and target the person hanging from the tree in front of you, he will be kicking his legs. Worgen will be attacking you. Once targeted, use the action button provided by the mount. Action #1. He will then get on your horse and you will run back. The End..

I've done this quest dozens of times and never had an issue; now just after patch 8.0.1, it seems to be incredibly difficult if not impossible to get to Krennan without dying due to massive aggro from the worgen. The horse dies just after I pick up Krennan, and so after I res at the spirit healer, I'm able to finish the quest, but it's incredibly unsatisfying to leave him without bringing him to the end of the quest.
just completed this quest, however i think it may be slightly bugged? as before you can hand in the quest, you aggro the massive amount of worgen that were following the horse... and therefore die.

Description
All these years after the war and Crowley was still hiding enough firepower in that cellar to level half of the district. It might have to come to that, unfortunately. We can't open fire just yet, there is a civilian trapped on the other side of the prison. Not just any civilian, either. Krennan Aranas is one of the most brilliant alchemists this world has known. One of his potions saved my daughter, Tess, from dying soon after being born. Take my horse and rescue him. Krennan must live.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Message to Greymane
It's time, <name>. We'll take it from here. Tell King Greymane that my father's arsenal will be at his disposal. There's more than enough firepower here to blow the worgen from here to the north sea.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Time to Regroup
We've done all we can here. Let King Greymane know we've bought some time. I've a feeling it won't be long 'til the worgen are back in force. We'll need to fall back to Greymane Court to the west, if that's the case. It's the last place we can hold out without being trapped like fish in a barrel.
