You only receive credit for this quest while mounted on Korl.
I picked this quest up while running to a group quest so didn't pay much attention to it at the time, came back to it later and started killing naga without getting credit and thought it was bugged... Came back later and realised I had to talk to Korl and mount him for this quest

Korl is at /way 36.33, 30.15
This quest can be skewed from view if you have the quest Scouting Undercover in your logs. It took me a while to figure this out and I thought I was denied a 3rd follower quest. This turned out to be the issue.

What to do
Description
Korl was told to watch the naga, so watching the naga I am. They're bad, friend, you know... just... terrible, horrible, bad monsters. I don't think I can just watch any more. They say the best defense is.. something... Help me teach them being being bad gets you smashed!
