TheWoWDBI had just finished making use of the facilities on the docks when...
Kingslayer Orkus says: Ugh, the lok'tar must have been cooking up a turd - which would explain the smell.
Kingslayer Orkus says: By Hellscream's axe!
Vanndar Stormpike says: Oy, 'Linda, where are we meetin' up with this Ivar Bloodfang fella? An' what in Bronzebeard's name is that terrible smell?
Captain Balinda Stonehearth says: They are massing at Purgation Isle, just west of us here, off the coast. We are to meet them there, general.
Captain Balinda Stonehearth says: As for the smell... *Balinda sniffs at the air* I think it's coming from over there...
Vanndar Stormpike says: Look there, 'Linda! What in the...
Kingslayer Orkus says: You face Kingslayer Orkus now, dwarf!
Kingslayer Orkus yells: KASHA! Your master needs you!
Vanndar Stormpike yells: ENOUGH TOYIN' AROUND!
Vanndar Stormpike says: Let's get outta here, 'Linda. We dun wanna draw any unwanted attention!
Captain Balinda Stonehearth says: Aye, general!

This quest seems to bug from time to time. At least it did for me. When Orkus's dragon landed, nothing happened afterwards, the dragon just stood there and Orkus and the dwarf went on to swing at each other forever.
After growing bored of that, I skipped the cinematic and lo' and behold, there on the shore stood Balinda as in the cinematic, a hostile skull level elite. She then proceeded to throwing a frostbolt at me that hit me for 36k.
Oh! How I wish I could get my mounts to fight for me like Kasha does for silly Orkus ^_^

What to do
Description
I tracked down the decrepit necromancer, Helcular, in hopes of getting a lead on Alliance movement within Hillsbrad. Helcular tasked me with finding and killing worgen. Ordinarily this would not be a problem for Orkus, but I had just eaten several helpings of Dirge's Kickin' Chimaerok chops, causing my bowels to cry out in anguish. That's when the trouble began and how I ended up in the water. Hear Orkus out, {name}.
