TheWoWDBThis should have been an optional quest. I see no reason why many within the Horde would help Baine with this.

If you do not get the Grappling Hook ability as an extra action button, abandon and re-take the quest.
"I think my warchief has lost honor, welp, let's go murder our own troops."
(the rangers actually die, either way he still was willing to kill)
At this point, I would take my Forsaken and leave the Horde to follow Sylvannas into a third faction. I'm getting tired of being preached at now from both sides on someone else's ideas and values.

Description
Sylvanas has gone too far this time. We may be at war with the Alliance, but there are certain lines we cannot cross. I must right this situation, but I need your assistance. Derek Proudmoore is being held on the Swift Vengeance, which is moored in the harbor here for supplies. We must take him and bring him back to his family. Are you with me?

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Righting Wrongs
Champion! I come with an urgent request from Baine Bloodhoof. He asks that you meet him at Plunder Harbor to help him with a... sensitive situation. You must tell no one of this request, <class>. Ancestors watch over you.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Under Lock and Keys
Three keys? It seems Sylvanas didn't trust any one member of this crew to have access to Proudmoore. We won't be able to rescue Derek Proudmoore if we can't get his cage open. We'll need to keep an eye out for keys while we clear the ship.
