Description
A few days ago a bunch of Iron Horde orcs showed up and kidnapped Thaelin. They've been keeping me alive as collateral to make sure he cooperates. I don't know where they took him, but I know how to get us there. Thaelin keeps a tracking device on him at all times - don't ask where he hides it. Anything he makes that can move has a "Come to Papa" button that sends it straight to him. In retrospect, not a great feature for the walking bombs... but perfect for the mole machine! Jump in and let's 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.

Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Captive Engineer
Argh... I'm sorry, <name>, but I'm too weak to fight. They kept me alive, but just barely. I'll keep an eye on the mole machine while you look for Thaelin. He should be somewhere close!
