TheWoWDBThis now has the same bug as The Defense of Shado-Pan Fallback.
Killing Osul Chargers that are already in battle with the defenders won't count; you need to attack their reinforcements.

If you intend to try ahead and skip ahead to this zone, take note that you will not receive any quests until level 88.
Nope. 51% won't get it done. You need a much-higher number and I'm not sure if there is a fixed percentage. Pretty sure I killed several of them that were 100%. Disappointing.

Description
<Lord Taran immediately pins you down with his steely gaze.> {class}, you bear the marks of many a past battle. Good! We need more seasoned people like you to hold back the front. We've managed to secure a foothold here, but the yaungol are desperate to remove our presence. If you wish to prove your worth, go down the hill and show the yaungol that we will not back down.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
