TheWoWDBThe Splitclaw Skitterers are all over the place outside the sunken ship. It's a good idea to get the quest Buy Us Some Time and do it at the same time.

Description
I'll need your help if I am to get these orcs ready for battle. Any worthy leader knows that his warriors travel and fight on their stomachs. No food, no victory. These warriors are weary from their struggle out there. They need food before they're ready to overcome a naga attack. Speaking of traveling on stomachs, I saw plenty of crabs out on the sea floor...

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Buy Us Some Time
Many good warriors have been lost today. If what the shaman says is true, then we must act swiftly or we will add to their numbers. The naga are out there, scouring these waters looking for survivors. We are not yet ready to fight, <race>. You must buy us time to make preparations.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Girding Our Loins
As we struggled not to drown, my orcs and I were forced to abandon our weapons and much of our armor. Erunak says to expect a major attack from the naga soon and I believe him. If we're going to be victorious, we'll need your help to recover our lost equipment.
