What to do
Description
The mantid! They came out of nowhere and smashed our convoy to ruin, scattering our people this way and that. Now they are preparing to hit Stoneplow. Please, {class}, destroy some of these beasts before they get sufficient numbers to flank our home. If my cousin, Ambassador Len, is still alive and at our convoy he should be able to reward you for your help.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sever Their Supply Line
The mogu reclaimers are using portals to connect to Kun-Lai Summit, bringing in reinforcements and supplies. What is worse, they are sending their captives through these portals. Go to the Ruins of Korja and destroy as many of these Korjan Reclaimers as you can find.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Stoneplow Convoy
Help me, <name>. These poor pandaren are in need of healing, and my powers are weakened. I did find an old tome in my collection that allowed me to convert the herbs you collected earlier into a healing poultice. Use this on the injured pandaren and it should get them back on their feet.
