Even though you get a message stating you are receiving Zoarg's head, it doesn't show in your inventory. You might think this quest is bugged if you try to hand it back in to Beastmaster Hilaire. It is not bugged. You need to talk to Archmage Landon as stated in the quest and then hand it in.

If your graphics have to be at the lowest setting, you will NOT see the blood.

The quest marker is towards the northeast and sloping down, a cave entrance set in one of the cliff sides. The way down is partially arched by a large animal ribcage. Keep to right following the wall and you'll stumble across Felscale Cavern.

Description

I will not leave my post without Cora. A group of mages have her caged up like a beast, threatening to put her down. They claim she's responsible for the death of one of their own, but I refuse to believe that. Cora is a loyal and obedient companion; she would never attack without my command. I tracked the demon that was truly responsible to this location, but it put up quite a fight before getting away. My injuries prevented me from giving chase, but I am sure that beast has left a bloody trail.

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.
