This quest bugs pretty badly often...

Root the warhouse (e.g. as a balance druid) and kill the Knight on top - you'll get credit for the knight, the knight will respawn, you can kill it again and get credit, and when the roots break on the horse (by damage or time) it won't move, but you'll still get credit for the kill :)

Easy way for a quick run.

Description

By order of High Executor Wroth all members of the illegal organization known as the Scarlet Onslaught are to be put to death immediately. No quarter is to be offered, and those proceeding to action upon this decree should be aware that any who are captured by the humans will be left to die, or worse! In the High Executor's words, "Paint the snow red with their blood!"

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
