The villagers are spread around the village and being held captured by either Mogus or Quilliens. You don't have to kill the Mogu nor the Quillien to get a resuce on the villagers, so a hunter can feign death, rogues can vanish and so on.
These Stonebound Quilen will chase you to the ends of the earth. I aggro'ed three and took off running. Ran all the way to Shrine of Two Moons and gave up and just killed them. So, much for saving some time.
Every time I start combat with any of the Mogu that have a villager cornered, they Evade and run off, and I get credit for the villager. It may have something to do with the way I tend to start combat (Charge from a flying mount), but it's kind of handy if you want to get this part of the dailies over with a little faster.
