What to do
Description
The ogres are planning to sacrifice the rest of the expedition to fuel this ritual to control Kalecgos, leader of the blue dragonflight. It seems one of the survivors was taken to the hills north of here. Bo scouted ahead to investigate. Come, we'll see what he has found.

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Re-Deather
I got the perfect plan. You're gonna ride the Choppy Booster Mk. 5 and BLAST those walkin' cadavers from the sky! I hereby dub the Re-Sizer the "Re-Deather." We're gonna show them where the undead belong! Er, except for OUR undead. They're totally fine. Anyway, hop on the Choppy Booster Mk.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Rescue of Herbert Gloomburst
The harpies plan to sacrifice the expedition's mage, a Forsaken by the name of Herbert Gloomburst. Herbert's ethics are... questionable, but he always strives to serve the Horde. We'll need his magic to stop the ogres. Let's move.
