TheWoWDBThe quest text is different if you have completed To Wake a Giant, also given by [npc=224394] as part of the [storyline=5596] storyline:
Well, hey! It's you again, <name>.
Shame I don't have any elementals for you to get in
shape...
But I do have another favor to ask you, if you're up for
it.
A friend of mine, Olbarig, lives out at Three Shields.
He studies the wild cloudrooks there, and he and I talk
about them from time to time.
But I haven't heard from him in a long time. Would
you check on him for me?

Description
Are you here to watch the mosswools? No? That's too bad. I find the elemental creatures on our isle fascinating. I'm not the only one. An old friend of mine named Olbarig resides out on the Three Shields. He studies the wild cloudrooks there. But come to think of it, I haven't heard from him in awhile. Maybe someone should check on him. Hm. Would you mind?
