So that's where the Maltese Falcon is.
It took me 3 retries and 1 game crash to get it working but indeed can be watched by abandoning and getting it again.

Description
Hello, {name}. It's been a while, and I wish we had more time to catch up. But you see, I've just had a rather enlightening... no, make that foreboding... yes, a foreboding conversation with an old friend. Sometimes a revelation can be both, after all. I really must tell you of what I've learned.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Obsidian Warders
This Toddy's enthusiasm is admirable. But I hope it does not blind her to the dangers awaiting us in the Dragon Isles. Regardless, the Obsidian Warders are duty-bound to protect the expedition. I must speak with Wrathion and the Lord Commander about the mission ahead.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Chasing Storms
So the handsome fellas are sendin' ye on a wee adventure, eh? That's fine. The expedition won't be able to set sail until someone gets those elemental storms under control anyway. Check-in with Storm Hunter William.
