Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

• The Re-DeatherExile's Reach · Level 1-5

  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 GloomburstExile's Reach · Level 6-9

  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.
