TheWoWDBWhen handing this quest in on a hunter, the completion text changes to:
‘We have a need to hunt, and they send me a hunter. Perfect.’
Just a cool bit of added flavour.

I came here to check and see if this was just a hunter thing or for all classes. I love this so much.
If you are unable to interact with the voidstalker when you reach the camp. You may need to abandon the quest and pick it back up. That seemed to be the only fix for me.

Description
Vicious voidbeasts have been snatching our officers, {name}. I've been told that you saw one from afar, through Umbric's void scryer. Those beasts are steeped in void energy, using their instinctual mastery of teleportation to strike at our most vulnerable before melting back into the shadows. Alleria has gone after them, and sent a request for another pair of eyes. You can find her at a campsite at the mouth of the gorge to the east. I'll mark it on your map.
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.
- The People's Champion
I think we've done all we can for the moment, <name>. Let's return to the muster point.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Patient Hunter
These void beasts are elusive, able to open temporary void portals that they can use to move short distances instantaneously. They may be beneath Turalyon's notice, but they're having devastating effects on the Vanguard's morale. Between the two of us, I'm confident we can outmaneuver them.
