Quest text

What the quest giver says.

‹name›, ‹class› and ‹race› stand for your character’s.

I told him he was a fool, but Ambassador Gaines insisted he could negotiate an alliance with the quilboar against the Horde. Even if he succeeded, I for one wouldn't want to fight with those ... pig-men at my side. Well, Gaines hasn't returned, and General Hawthorne will hold me accountable if I lose one of our best negotiators to these squealing savages. Locate the Ambassador in this steaming mess of a jungle and rescue him if he's still alive.
