TheWoWDBThis quest had a buggy interaction with my mount. I had to abandon it, pick it up again, and take Durzan up the hill without mounting to be able to complete it. He wouldn't run up the log to his brother otherwise.

The last fight up the hill can bug the quest in a way that Durzan does not move anymore.
Had to abandon and restart the quest. Then did the following steps:
- Flew up the hill on my own, leaving Durzan behind
- Did both fights without Durzan
- Flew down the hill to where I left Durzan
- Picked up Durzan and flew up one more time alongside him.
Without any fight, he did not bug out.
Wait... you mean it's an escort quest, but I'm the one being escorted? That's awesome!
And as a skinner, I'm taking my time to attack and skin the critters on the way, wasting his time like so many other escort quests in the past <3

Description
Durzan looks hale and hearty again. That moss packs a real punch. I have a sense that he's ready to go. I just wish we had more time. I have so many questions. But the greatest of those questions will be answered when he reaches the peak. We shouldn't send him up there alone. But I think he trusts you to take him.
Where to 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.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Their Moss, Our Gain
You say nerubians had him? Not sure what they wanted with old Durzan, but he looks weakened by the ordeal. We can't have that if he's to challenge his brother Belzt on the mountain. The moss harvested from our flocks gives the storm rooks a kick, so Durzan might benefit from it as well.
