When I did this quest I only got a 'can't do that yet' message when I tried clubbing the minions.

Reapplying the disguise solved the problem.

Just make sure you don't reapply it anywhere near any of the big groups of mobs, because the disguise will fade as you reapply it and they will attack.

Description

{name}? Eitrigg here. It sounds like you have earned Thorg'izog's trust, and he's assigned you to discipline duty. This is fortunate. We need you to take out his sergeants. You'll find them on wolfback, outside of the Blackrock Stronghold in the Fields of Honor. Use that cudgel on them, several times, until they die. You'll have to act fast, because if they realize you're not one of them, they can unmask you. Strike quickly and ferociously, {name}.

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.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Trial by MagmaBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    I suppose I'll make the most of this situation. These goblin mercenaries brought this enormous fire elemental to my stronghold as a "thank you" for hiring them. What am I going to do with an elemental here in the steppes? That's like bringing sand to the beach.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Enough Damage For One DayBurning Steppes · Level 15-30

    We do not have any further strategic need for Thorg'izog or the Blackrock ground troops. We must continue to the next phase of the plan. When you are finished at the stronghold, return to us here in Chiselgrip.
