This is the most heartbreaking quest I ever did in wow :/ They have several phrases for when you don't manage to save them.

Please take... my shinies. All done...
We not do anything... to them... I no understand.
Use my shinies... make weather good again... make undead things go away.
We gave shinies to shrine... we not greedy... why this happen?
I do something bad? I sorry...

:<

The phrases for when you save them are

We saved. You nice, dryskin.
Maybe you make weather better too?
You save us! Yay for you!
Thank you! You good!

When you complete the quest, Moodle explains

It's a small comfort to see that they haven't brought any back in undeath.

Description

There's some small chance that the Mosswalkers are not all dead yet... and at the very least, they deserve to not be butchered like this. Let's find some revenge for this slaughter and see if there are any to be saved in the process.

Where to go

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.

  • Lifeblood of the Mosswalker ShrineSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    I've always suspected that the pillars have been the main reason for our weather and seclusion from the undead... this confirms it a bit. Not terribly long ago, there was a sound of a great explosion when the Lifeblood Pillar fell. The weather changed for the mosswalkers almost immediately...

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Hero's BurdenSholazar Basin · Level 20-30

    Perhaps the crystals will ward off the undead gradually, but there is one more thing that must be done. We need to find the leader of these undead and kill him to ensure there's no one to push the wretches back upon us. If my suspicions are correct, he will be somewhere inside the fallen pillar...
