At this time, either an extra action bar is missing or a crucial part of the quest is missing. All that is happening at the moment is you talk to the trolls and they tell you the same thing over and over with no direction or guidance on next steps. This is most likely very bugged.
I was hoping for a bit of actual lore, but it seems these stories are just fluff. When they tell their stories, there's a beginning, middle, and end and seems like each part has a pool that it pulls from making it very possible for the stories have similar parts, but with 1 or 2 parts different. These are the ones I got. You can see bullet point 2 and 4 has the beginning and middle the same, but the end is different. And bullet point 5 and 7 have the same beginning, but different middles and ends.
- A dense mist had covered de forest... Elemental giants tore through de forest! De Witherbark defended their home proudly.
- De heat of summer was at its peak when... A raging dragonhawk rained chaos down on de village. It came at great cost, but de Witherbark triumphed.
- It was in de temple city of Atal'Aman... A vengeful elf stole an artifact of terrible power. And no Witherbark can forget dat fateful day.
- De heat of summer was at its peak when... A raging dragonhawk rained chaos down on de village. And no Witherbark can forget dat fateful day.
- It was in de aftermath of war... Elemental giants tore through de forest! De Witherbark were outnumbered, but dat's just how we like it. We survived by de skin of our tusks.
- It began at de peak of a mountain... A bear de size of a mammoth attacked! It was a simple matter for de fierce Witherbark.
- It was in de aftermath of war... Countless murlocs besieged de Witherbark! And no Witherbark can forget dat fateful day.

The Witherbark say they have a lot of stories to tell, but I've heard two and BOTH involved a sparring match! Please, can you ask the Witherbark here for stories? My old bones can't take another reenactment!

Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Cuisine Connection
Dis "seeker" has been askin' a lot of questions about de foods we eat. It sounds like these tortollans like to eat poisonous foods. De Witherbark do as well. There are many foods we eat that could kill us if not treated properly. Go collect zapgut eel stomachs and blisterskin kelp.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sightseeing Stegadon
Wow, your armor is sooooo cool! <Trishe stares, slack-jawed.> Oh, have you seen my friend Steggy? She was here with me, but then there were all these pretty bugs and things, and she ran off after them, and I was too slow to follow her. <Trishe pouts.> I'm s'posed to watch Steggy. I'm response-able!
