Another tragically beautiful quest from Blizzard. During this little mini-chain, I couldn't help but root for poor Helgrum to make it... so sad that he did not :(

Seriously the worst ending for a good quest.

I know this is supposed to be a sad moment.
But it was a little shorter than I expected, almost comical in fact.
"I will watch over you..."
URRRAGH

Last RegretsSwamp of Sorrows · Level 15-30
If I am reduced to groveling, I may as well ask everything I can. There is one last favor I would ask of you, one more task a shamed orc pleads for. Helgrum had a prized prey. Duskfang, eater of ogres, the great panther of Misty Valley. He would never allow himself the leisure of stalking it.
