The quest is sadly broken atm. When he goes into his Moonkin form and damages himself, his moonfire does way too much damage and killing him outright.
Shapeshift! Try to swim away now, mon!
I seem to be... stuck..coolest npc in game.

Description
I am Adrine Towhide, a druid of the Cenarion Circle. You can thank us for healing this land, where once there was only death. We accept all who choose to follow the druidic path, regardless of race, faction, or talent. Occasionally that means we enlist a druid who needs more help than others. I'd like you to meet Zen'Kiki. He's pretty new, and he's still learning his craft. Would you mind taking him out with you for a while? You can practice combat on the plagued animals that roam nearby.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Students of Krastinov
The Cult orders state that the plague from the cauldron at Gahrron's Withering is in fact being used for TWO purposes. The first is the practice of spreading disease through the animals of the plaguelands, which you already knew about.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Different Approach
Among other things, Zen'Kiki needs to work on his spell accuracy. I could see his wrath spells spiraling out of control even from here! In fact, I used them as a marker to follow your progress through the woods. Perhaps we can use Zen'Kiki another way.
