TheWoWDBThe best option is to wait until you've killed the 20 before freeing the Furbolgs because when you've completed the quest objectives it dumps you wherever you're standing.
The first time I hadn't cleared around me and had to make a run for it. If you clear the front of the cage before you free them and you've completed the rest of it you can just mount up and fly away.

Turns out this quest is also great for farming mobs to complete Test Your Strength. As long as you don't free the Furbolgs, you can remain in the Ancient of War and farm all 250 kills in about ten minutes. So, if the RNG gods are in alignment and your faction has control AND this quest is running AND you need your kills for the Darkmoon Faire quest, give this a try.
Riding around on an Ancient is awesome.
