I like how Sylvanas doesn't care at all if you stand right in the middle of the meeting between her and the orc.

Took me a couple times to figure out that you need to go out of the side door next to Lorna Crowley. You'll follow Mistmantle into the Cathedral area the back way.
No need to abandon the quest if you lost sight of Tobias. Just return to the quest giver and click on the option "Let's give this another try."

What to do
Description
It's true then? Gilneas has lost her favorite son. We will mourn when this is all over but not a day sooner. We will not allow ourselves the luxury of grief while the enemy still breathes Gilnean air. My father's men are ready to strike while we still have the Banshee Queen's trail. Just say the word if you're ready. Liam deserves swift vengeance.

After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Vengeance or Survival
Tell Greymane that we have trackers on Sylvanas and tell him about the Plague. The decision will be his. Launch an all out attack against the leader of the Forsaken or try to evacuate our survivors.
