I'm sorry, Zantos, but these events, which will only last for a very limited time frame and will never be seen again, do have the chance of interfering with the normal function of a quest. Escorts are traditionally tricky because most mobs or players can interfere.
It is unlikely that any concessions can be made regarding this matter at this point as the events are currently running in a lead up to Cataclysm but if you would like to provide your feedback to our Developers you will want to post in the Suggestions forum.
