IMPORTANT: If you are an idiot like me and clicked the drink and started the scenario you can still get out... open your quest log and abandon the stormwind extraction.. it will destroy the flask and pop you back to the tavern. Now, accept his quest again but don't drink and NOW you have the option to skip the thing.
When you drink the [item=160251], you do die. However, when you release, you resurrect in the same place where you died. No long run from Elwynn Forest.

Description
My lady is shrewd indeed. If we are to infiltrate Stormwind City, we will need the very best the Horde has to offer, and yet a team so small as to be able to infiltrate the heart of Alliance territory unseen. <Nathanos peers at the gathered group, stroking his chin.> Yes, I see. The path ahead is clear. Speak to me when you are ready to undertake the Warchief's mission, {name}.
