The quest giver's words
Lao Softfoot and I scouted up the ruins to the north.
It looks like the mogu are infiltrating the valley through a cave just up the hill, and already they are sending formidable reinforcements through.
There are too many enemies to take them head on, so you'll have to meet Lao Softfoot at the entrance to the ruins.
He'll help you sneak in under the cover of stealth. Then, plant this keg of explosives at the mouth of the cave.
The rest should take care of itself.
Progress
Is the cave closed?
Completion
Wonderful, <name>!
You and Lao have single-handedly crippled the mogu advance.
That is called working smarter, not harder.

What players recorded
Everything below this line is a different kind of knowledge from everything above it. Above: what the quest is, the same on every realm. Below: what actually happened when people played it, uploaded by them, with the number of runs printed against every figure. It is an observation, not a fact about the quest.
Nobody has completed this quest with telemetry on yet, so there is no timing. Everything below is drawn straight from the 0 recorded attempts the hub has.
How precise this guide is
Early guide Built from 0 runs by 0 players – low confidence. Every upload of this quest sharpens it: the hotspots tighten, the order and the timings settle, and the parts below unlock as the sample grows.
- Where to go – pick-up, objectives and hand-in needs one recorded run not yet
- Typical time and objective order – median and middle half needs 3 completed runs (now 0) not yet
- Tips – what most players do needs 5 runs (now 0) not yet
- Where players die – death hotspots on the map needs 5 characters from at least 2 different people (now 0 from 0) not yet

The route
An early route: drawn from the first runs and sharper with every upload. Pick-up, hand-in and the objective hotspots are where the quest is, so they are shown from the first run.
Map coordinates are the addon's own 0–1 zone coordinates (Vale of Eternal Blossoms), origin top-left, x to the right and y downward. Drag the zone map to pan, ctrl/⌘ + scroll or the buttons to zoom; the grid lines are tenths of the zone.
