I'm wondering why it says "unfortunate choice". Clearly denying his advances was the smart choice seeing as he was cray. Maybe Blizz could change that wording a bit...

Description
I arrived in Stranglethorn to study a feature known as the Altar of Naias, but made the unfortunate choice of denying Colonel Kurzen's advances, which earned me several years in that cage. Now that I'm out, I figure I might as well continue with my original studies. The altar is on an island to the west, south of Zul'Kunda. Gather some of the bracers from the island's water elementals. Oh, and you can use this device when you're finished. No need to make you walk all the way back here.

I waited for a while and she didn't appear so I assumed maybe I had to do Lieutenant Doren's next follow up as well, and went off to do the next quest 'Stopping Kurzen's Legacy' and Emerine Junis was stood next to him by the time I had done the objectives and come back.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Bloodscalp Insight
I never got to properly thank you for saving me. Thank you, <name>. I'm still a little fatigued from my captivity, so I thought you might help me with my studies. As a shaman of the Wildhammer clan, I'm very interested in the shamanic practices of the Bloodscalp tribe.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sacred to the Bloodscalp
Ahh... these must be names of their totemic creatures - the animals that they attribute to the spirits. Let's see... Mahamba as water, Tsul'Kalu as earth, Pogeyan as... air? Fire? I can't make this part out. I'd like some more information on these spirits of theirs.
