I like how "knocking out" the recruit kills them
Even through alts, I always seem to pick the Gnome to knock out without hesitation.

Description
You're here at last, {name}. Just in time as well. News of Ragnaros' emergence has spurred a large wave of recruits to seek membership in the Twilight's Hammer. If you're to infiltrate the cult, the time is now. We will need recruitment papers -- signed in blood by a referring Twilight member. Lure one of the new recruits away from the group and hit them with this blackjack. If you're lucky, you'll be able to steal his recruitment papers. Bring them back to me and we'll do our best to alter them.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Commander Jarod Shadowsong
Only once has there been a leader capable of commanding demigods and mortals alike. His name was Jarod Shadowsong and his ability to lead in battle was such that Cenarius and the other ancients placed themselves under his command. He disappeared for years and his whereabouts were unknown. Until now.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Your New Identity
There. Not my best work, but certainly not my worst. You will be known as "<name>damus" among the cultists. These papers will bump you ahead of the other recruits and allow you to speak directly to the Twilight instructors. Go to the proving grounds and show these to Condenna the Pitiless.
