Thanks for bailing me out of this mess, <name>. I was not looking forward to what these Alliance scumbags had in store for me.
Let's get out of here and see if we can get back at them somehow. Is that a campfire over there?

The best part about this quest is how the NPC picks up 3 enemies and stands in the spot where the flaming arrows land.
This quest can be murder. I had a lot of trouble in my green-equipped warrior. I'll try and smooth over the trouble spots.
First of all, remember that he pauses for a few seconds after each confrontation. Take that time to bandage up or even grab a bite to eat if you need it.
The first real problem comes when he goes after the second supply depot. If your not carefull he'll charge headfirst into a group of three sailors and one marksman. The marksmen are brutal: their aimshot takes a huge section of your health away and they can do that while raining both you and hanes with arrows (Despite the fact that they use guns...). What you need to do is pull one of the sailors away while hanes is still moving forward. Once he's dead pull anoether one while hanes contemplates his navel. With luck you can avoid the marksman (Who patrols across the whole encampment) altogether.
Once he burns the third depot watch out: he'll make anoether suicidal break for the gate. I don't know if this always happens, but when i was there the whole area was doused in fire and gave you a dot that does 800 damage per tick. He'll also aggro three more sailors. Lovely. Let him go in first, chances are you can't take all three of them yourself if your low on health, mana and cooldowns from the previous encoutners.
You can do this quest along with "Landing the Killing Blow" http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=11233 The npc is right beside Lieutenant Celeyne, and while doing the quest you'll also find Sergeant Lorric. So what I suggest is to kill Captain Olster first, then go kill Celeyne, pick up this escort quest and kill Lorric while doing the escort.
This quest is not the simple escort him out of Derelict Strand, the npc actually runs around burning up the Alliance supplies found besides different tents. So what you can do before taking this quest is to go around the tents that have stacks of supply boxes, clear the area up a bit first and then pick up this quest. However, most of the time you'll only pull 2 mobs at a time, so if you think you can handle the mobs, there's no need to clear up prior to doing the quest.
