TheWoWDBNote that you have to free all 15 slaves before you kill Forgemaster Garfrost. I freed them afterwards and didn't get credit for the kill. Dang it!

I had a freed Alliance Slave say to me "Have my babies". Was a weird moment.
You have to hand this in to get the follow up quest, Deliverance from the Pit, which is to kill the final boss in the instance. You need to have done these quests to get through the portal to the next instance. Don't skip the hand in!
