This quest was bugged out for me, the "defended" counter would reset every few seconds.

What I ended up doing to fix this was to remove my gear to get rid of my 8/8 Venthyr Warrior set bonus. I noticed this happening on my other characters as well, so if this happens to you give that a shot.

Buy "Scroll of Teleport: Theater of Pain" from the vendor named One-Eyed Joby (towards the northeast side outside of Theater of Pain). It will teleport you very close to, and within view of, the sword. No goblin glider or changing your hearthstone needed.
