Complete Quest Text (from Marshal Dughan):
"Yes, I spoke with Remy. I respect him as a merchant, though all reports of Murlocs to the east have been sketchy at best.
"Your concerns are noted, but unless I receive a military report of a murloc threat, we can't afford to send more troops east."
For this quest, if you speak with Marshal Dughan after handing it in he will give you a Stormwind Charger to ride.

Description
{name}, there's a new threat in Elwynn Forest! Murlocs are swimming up the streams of eastern Elwynn, scaring away fish and attacking gentle folk! I warned Marshal Dughan, but he's more worried about the gnolls and the bandits. He's not convinced that the murlocs are a danger. Please, {name}, speak to Dughan and persuade him to send more troops to the east!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Jasperlode Mine
Thanks to you we know the Fargodeep Mine is infested with kobolds. Now we need a scout to investigate the more distant Jasperlode Mine. Explore Jasperlode and confirm any kobold presence. To reach the mine, travel east along the road until you reach the Tower of Azora.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Further Concerns
If you are concerned that the rumors of murlocs are true, then do this -- travel to the eastern Elwynn bridge and speak with Guard Thomas. He has been stationed at the bridge for the past week and will know the state of the area. I have here a Stormwind charger that will take you to Guard Thomas.
