I fell off the ship before i could repel. Went to town trying to restart the quest and now cannot figure out how the hell to get back! efffff
EDIT: Figured it out. Go to the little panda gathering area in town. Valley of Honor for horde- and take the portal to Honeydew Village. Ride back under the ship and there's a red interactive "back to gunship" thingy there. 45 minutes later but able to quest now!
A word of advice: If you are a fresh level 85 entering Mists of Pandaria, use the advantage to ride all the way south to Dawn's Blossom to get yourself a full set of level 372 gear - including trinkets - from Singegruff.
This will make the earlier parts of Jade Forest more tolerable, even if you do have to ride all the way back up north to continue questing.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Paint it Red!
They shot out our engines and we floated here - HERE! Right in the firing line of the enemy! You know what to do, <name>. Get below decks and man those guns! Show these scum that they're in OUR line of fire!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Finish Them!
We've softened them up. Now it's time to finish them off! That fortress must be cleansed of Alliance, and we've got nowhere to keep any prisoners. <The hint of a smile crosses Nazgrim's face.> You know what to do, <name>. The cowards will run if you give them the chance. See that you don't!
