TheWoWDBIf you're wondering how to complete this quest at a high level, the solution is the Soft Foam Sword.
You don't need to kill yourself and get sickness or take off your equipment, just whack the guys once with the sword and then throw them in the cage. This works for the camel quest as well.

Yeah, so, am I the only person who this quest made a little uncomfortable? Going around beating aborigines ("cavorting" ones no less) to within an inch of their life and then caging them for a guy to help them out "for their own good?"
I am a hunter. I do not do melee! This is the first quest I have seen that I actively hate. It is awlful. I have to get within melee distance in a small time frame. I have failed too many times. It is as though Blizzard designed a quest to make casters unhappy.
I will follow the Hunter advice posted here.

What to do
Description
Some see the little sand pygmy as nothing more than a pest, a vermin, or worse yet, a vile little demon. I say they are simply misunderstood! With the proper care and guidance, these little fellows may just turn out to be a glorious gift of nature. I would like you to take these cages and use them to capture a few of them for me to work with. You will need to give them a sound beating before boxing them up, but in the end it will be for their own good. You'll see! Go south for pygmies!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Master Trapper
One thing about me that you might not know, <name>... I come from a long line of trappers. My father taught me, as his taught him, to master the art of trapping creatures in a most merciful manner. As any master trapper will tell you, the most important ingredient in an effective trap is the bait.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Camelraderie
Greetings, friend! You are always most welcome in my humble tent. Looking for something to do? Sullah has just the thing! Camels are good to have in hand regardless, but when putting together a performance the likes of my sideshow, they are an absolute must!
