The Emperor's Gift

Objectives
Retrieve Sheilun, Staff of the Mists, from the Terrace of Eternal Spring. See Tak-Tak to fly directly to the Terrace.
 * Speak with Tak-Tak
 * Acquire Sheilun
 * Fly Home with Tak-Tak

Description
Ah, Sheilun, the legendary staff wielded by our last emperor. If the Legion were to acquire this weapon, they could unleash untold horrors across the whole of the continent. They must be stopped!

If you want to get to the Terrace as fast as possible, you should hitch a ride directly to the mainland. Tak-Tak, a hozen kite-master, is skulking around west of the temple. Speak to him without delay.

Rewards
You will receive:
 * 22,200 XP
 * 22,200 XP

Progress
The Terrace of Eternal Spring is a very sacred place for mainland Pandaren. I hope you were able to preserve it from corruption. Enough of Pandaria was destroyed when Garrosh Hellscream turned it into a battlefield.

Completion
Incredible. The very staff the Emperor used to cloak Pandaria in mists all those ages ago!

Treat that staff well,. It will save your life. And probably the lives of all your friends, as well...

Each member will give you two options: Focus on their survival or have them focus on bringing down Aspersius. If you're confident in your ability to keep them alive, it's recommended that you have everyone focus on the latter strategy. Otherwise, choose survival.


 * Fei Li - characters who quested on Pandaria
 * It's so good to see you again, ! We really lit Pandaria up together, didn't we?


 * I've been perfecting my fire spells since you last worked with the Shado-Pan. If you can keep me on my feet, I will be able to break Aspersius's ice walls and otherwise bring him to a boil. Stand near me and I will enhance the power of your Jade Lightning.

 * Fei Li - new characters
 * Thank you, monk, for coming to our aid. I am Fei Li, and I have a reputation among the Shado-Pan for setting things on fire. Usually our enemies. Sometimes our Monastery. Lord Taraz Zhu isn't too pleased with me at the moment...


 * Help me get back into his good graces. If you can keep me on my feet, I will be able to break Aspersius's ice walls and otherwise bring him to a boil. Stand near me and my Brilliance Aura will restore your mana.


 * Taoshi - characters who quested on Pandaria
 * ! It has been such a long time. You should visit us in Pandaria more often. You and I made a great team.


 * You know my strengths, . While Taran Zhu holds that thing's attention, I will stalk it from behind and bury my daggers in any weak spots. I can also help you move quickly around the battlefield - stand near me to reset your roll and flying kick abilities.


 * How aggressive do you want me to be? I could throw caution to the wind and wage an all-out assault, but I'll need to know you have my back!
 * say
 * say


 * say
 * say


 * Taoshi - new characters
 * Thank you for your well-timed rescue, monk. We could've used your help in the Pandaren Campaign. My name is Taoshi, the silent blade of the Shado-Pan. I slip unseen through enemy territory and strike where they are weakest.


 * I'll do my part. the rest is the same.


 * Hawkmaster Nurong - characters who quested on Pandaria
 * Greetings, ! Your training has progressed far since we last adventured together in Pandaria. I'd venture that even Lord Taran Zhu could learn a thing or two from you. It's a pleasure to be fighting with you again.


 * Now to business! I will assault Aspersius at range while Whitefeather swoops in to harass him with beak and claw. Stand near me and I will help you cast spells faster.


 * I could go for an all-out attack, but it would put myself at risk. How aggressive should I be?
 * say
 * say


 * say
 * say


 * Hawkmaster Nurong - new characters
 * Hello, monk! It is good to have a healer at our side. We are the Shado-Pan, the last defense of Pandaria. I am Hawkmaster Nurong, Master of the Wu Kao discipline - we are the eyes of the Shado-Pan, the scouts who make our enemies fear the darkness.


 * Now to business! I will assault Aspersius at range while my hawk Whitefeather swoops in to harass him with beak and claw. Stand near me and I will help you attack faster.

You can change your mind on their tactics up until you speak to Taran Zhu to begin the fight in the next stage.

Stage 4: Don't Drink the Water

 * Let me know when you are ready, and I will give the order to begin the assault.
 * The group runs up the next set of stairs, whereupon Fei Li melts the icy barrier.
 * say
 * say

Stand near Taran Zhu if you have any Fel Slimes attacking you so that they'll peel off onto him instead. Dispel those afflicted with Drifting Away so that they can return to fighting the mob. When the tornadoes appear, keep moving to avoid being knocked into the air and taking fall damage.
