TheWoWDBYou guys are full of it. As a clothie this is difficult! - if you keep running you have no idea where the blasts will be, he slows you so you can't get back to the next blast and the hits don't do all that much damage to him unless you have him in the middle of them. Can't use pet 'cause he will stay with the pet instead of following you. Died twice.

Another important note: keep your eye on the shoreline to avoid incoming adds, and fight as far inland as possible while utilizing mortar blasts. A single add can make this quest difficult for some.

Heth'Jatari Battlegloves, Conch-Sound Waistguard, Bracers of the Fallen Fathom-Lord, 13g 74s, 4,800 XPDescription
Let's go fishing, {name}! Now that the mortars are ready, we can take out the leader of this invasion. Fathom-Lord Heth'Jatar rules over the Blackscale warrior caste. Go to the Heth'Jatari Banners just northeast of here and honk this conch shell. It's like a dog-whistle. For fish. When Heth'Jartar shows up, I'll order the mortars to concentrate fire. You'll see the targets of the incoming shells. Lure Heth'Jatar into our mortar fire and pummel him into submission!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Shells on the Sea Shore
I salvaged these mortars from the wreck of our airship when she detonated above Dragonmaw Port. But ammunition is in short supply! While you're running along the beach, do me a favor and pick up any unexploded mortar shells you find.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Narkrall, the Drake-Tamer
<name>, the stronghold at Bloodgulch is the heart of the Dragonmaw empire in the Highlands. It is just up the river. Narkrall Rakeclaw is using his considerable power to amass a wing of drake-riders there. For the Dragonmaw to succeed, Bloodgulch must succeed. Go to Narkrall and make sure it is so.
