As you continue your journey on the caravan, the conversation between the 4 NPCs continues:

Gidwin Goldbraids says: This hardly seems fair!
Gidwin Goldbraids says: Why do I have to sit up top with all the stuff?
Fiona says: Because you're the bravest, dear.
Tarenar Sunstrike says: Because you're short.
Gidwin Goldbraids says: Hey! I oughtta bounce one of these trunks off of your head, Tarenar.
Fiona says: I know I promised you the front seat, Giddy, but we have an elderly guest. I'm sorry.
Tarenar Sunstrike says: Fiona, I must warn you: Gidwin only wants to sit in front because he wants to kiss you.
Gidwin Goldbraids says: Oh shut up, you dolt. YOU probably want to kiss her a hundred times.
Tarenar Sunstrike yells: Do not!
Argus Highbeacon says: Ahem! I, ah, appreciate the ride, Madam Fiona. It's nice to get off my feet for once.
Fiona says: Do you normally walk these roads alone?
Argus Highbeacon says: Yes, I do, though it was easier when I was younger. These days, I have to be more careful.
Gidwin Goldbraids says: If you don't mind my askin', what do you do that requires walking so much?
Argus Highbeacon says: I service the five Argent towers. Mostly repairs and maintenance, and some minor magical work.
Argus Highbeacon says: Without proper upkeep, buildings within the plaguelands tend to... waste away.
Tarenar Sunstrike says: Noble work.
Argus Highbeacon says: I find it satisfying. I enjoy working with my hands.
Argus Highbeacon says: By the way, if any of you need anything repaired, let me know. I am at your service.
Gidwin Goldbraids says: So you're part of the Argent Crusade, eh?
Gidwin Goldbraids says: Think you can put in the good word for us? We're looking to join the order.
Argus Highbeacon says: Certainly. I don't make it out to Light's Hope very often anymore, but when you arrive, tell Max Tyrosus that I sent you.
Tarenar Sunstrike says: Whoah... he lets you call him Max?
Argus Highbeacon says: Ma'am, would you mind dropping me off at Light's Shield Tower, just up ahead? I have to stop here.
Fiona says: Of course I'm not just going to drop you off, Master Highbeacon. We'll be happy to wait for you.
Gidwin Goldbraids says: NOOOOOOO! Stopped again!
Argus Highbeacon says: Light's Hope isn't far, young paladin. Might I suggest walking?
Gidwin Goldbraids says: Walking, eh...?

I bumped in to an issue yesterday doing this quest. I had done all quests except battle for darrowshire in Crown Guard Tower and was ready to move on. When I clicked on the caravan to move on both it and Fiona despawned and wouldn't come back even though I waited around. I tried looking for it at the next tower but it wasn't there either. Finally I tried relogging and that brought it back.

There was also a similar issue that my girlfriend ran into, she jumped on the caravan and after a little bit she got thrown off and the caravan despawned. Tried the same things as me and it was just gone. Relogging solved that issue as well.

Description

I believe the horses are ready. Argus Highbeacon, the gentleman who works with the Argent Crusade, spoke with me earlier. I understand he will be coming with us... that's great! I'll make room for him. I know that you are busy, so there's no hurry. Whenever you're ready, hop into the caravan, and we will proceed to the next tower.

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Hidden TreasuresEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    Daddy told me to give you this key. He said it opens a chest out back behind the house. He also wanted me to thank you. Did you do a favor for him? Did you tell him you found my doll? Well here's the key. And thank you <name>. Thank you! You're a very nice man!

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Boys Will Be BoysEastern Plaguelands · Level 15-30

    As soon as we arrived here at Light's Shield Tower, those two lunkhead paladins ran off to Light's Hope Chapel. It's still a ways away, but if we're going to follow Argus along his tour of the towers, this is about as close as we're going to get. Check in on them and make sure they're alright?
