TheWoWDBWhere you get the quest, you have to move back inside the gates of Deadgrin and fire the flare gun and it will work. When you initially try and fire the gun it will say you need to be in Deadgrin.

I felt stupid running around looking for Deadgrin, not realizing it's right there. Coords 41.73
Does anyone know if Eye Candy is a prerequisite for this quest?
Now with zone scaling Skothwa is kicking my butt.

Description
I received a strange object with a note attached. Here, it seems to be written in your tongue, commander. <Dear Mister Durotan, I'm Penny... you know, from Azeroth? We met briefly back at {name}'s garrison. Anyway, like I told you, I have a fifth degree black hammer in engineering and I'm eager to serve. The more danger the better! You just fire this old flare whenever you're in trouble and I'll be there, quick as a quark! Hopefully, Penny>

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Eye Candy
You! Get in the fight or get out of our way. This is no ordinary goren attack. Look over there, a gronnling is sacking our grubhall. That hunchbacked gorebucket bit a chunk out of my lovely Marrow! Rip the eye out of its forehead and bring it to me.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Penny From Heaven
<Durotan looks at you curiously.> Those from your world are not much for subtlety, are they? Go on ahead and greet our new companion. We will join you as soon as we can make ready.
