I'd recommend putting the poison on before you start doing the quest to kill a bunch of mobs and not be a derp like me and kill all the needed mobs and then realize you needed to put this on and then have to kill more. :)
This quest may appear on your map even if you've completed it entirely.

Description
G.V.? We need a name and a location. Not damned initials. <Velonara pulls out a small vial.> This is my last vial of wracking poison. We use it to extract information from prisoners. It is... potent. Coat your weapon with it and head into the Shattered Hand camp just ahead. Engage them as normal and demand answers - the poison will take care of the rest. I've had enough of these orcs.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Assassin's Mark
Their poison is more powerful than I thought. We need to find the orc responsible for making it. Master assassins always leave their mark somewhere on one of their kills. It's a calling card; a claim to fame in their circles. This was definitely the work of such an assassin.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Extrinsic Motivation
The Shattered Hand aren't strangers to pain. They each cut off their own hand as a sign of their allegiance to Kargath. If you're going to get them to talk, it might take more than my poison. Slaughter them all. We'll see how far they're willing to go for their beloved warlord.
