I had Zen'kiki accompanying me on this entire quest chain since I still had the quest in my log to kill the diseased birds... and while it's fun to watch him miss Alliance soldiers with his wild wrath spells, he managed to park himself in front of the camera during the first part of this cutscene, blocking out both Sylvanas and Koltira.

... Zen'kiki really can't do anything right.

Description

Your performance was admirable, soldier. You make the Forsaken proud, which is more than I can say for our general, Koltira Deathweaver. I intend to have a word with that death knight. He has shamed himself and his cause.
