Friend-
What you been hearing? Baine Bloodhoof wrote to say that Garrosh is capturing mogu and using some sort of energy the Pandaren call "sha." There ain't no power he won't abuse.
Baine says he going to stay close to him. Garrosh probably don't trust the tauren chieftain, but he trust you. Keep Baine out of trouble for me. We going to need him.

Fun little detail you might not catch- when you exit the tomb, there's a long line of Mogu corpses leading from the tomb to Lor'themar, presumably created by Garrosh.
He is in the Shadows place, when I walked in he was not there, came to wowhead to see if there was anything special and found nothing. So I sat for a few minutes then he spawned.
I am not sure if there was someone else that had just killed him or what, but if he is not there just wait a couple minutes and he will show up.

It is time to make our move. Go to the Tomb of Shadows, weaken him, and take him captive. I will stay here in case Garrosh arrives. He must be delayed so that we can take our prize before he destroys it in his anger. Hurry!

- Legacy of the Korune
I'm not prepared to throw away more of our people fighting against an enemy we don't know or understand. See if you can find any clues in the area as to who exactly these "Korune" mogu are. A contingency in case this operation doesn't go as planned.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Echoes of Thunder
Ah, <name>, we meet again. I have heard some wondrous news. High Chieftain Baine Bloodhoof of the tauren has arrived here on Pandaria. He meets with Warchief Garrosh Hellscream and Regent Lord Lor'themar Theron now, at the Shrine of Two Moons in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
