Quest turn-in for epic
 

I'm on the Test of Might portion, where I turn in the gem to the Spirit Sentinel in EJ. I turned the gem in, but got aggro from 4 mobs and had to gate out before finishing all the quest dialogue. The only faction-gain was on the turn-in. Was the dialogue required after, or can I just go do Black Dire now? Thanks for any advice )

No dialogue is ever required in any quest in EverQuest (except if you say a line to get an item).
