Enter the cave at 43.0, 82.0 and bear right at the fork. For some reason it took me forever to figure that out.
You can get dragged into the cave, but apparently you need to walk out again manually.. Most of the mobs are busy fighting eachother though, but beware of AoE putting you in combat
If you abandon the quest and get it back from the NPC you have to get into the cave yourself. I was initially dragged there per the original quest but, for some reason, I fell off the bridge to Avalanche. I didn't die and ran back out to the NPC (it's easy, everyone is engaged in fighting). I checked NPC first to see if I could get dragged back. No go. Then I abandoned quest and re-acquired. No dragging. Off I go now, on my own, to defeat Avalanche. So, BE CAREFUL AND DON'T FALL OFF THE BRIDGE TO AVALANCHE! Or have to abandon the quest in any way.

The leader of the Stone Mother's forces here is the great earth elemental lord, Avalanchion. Luckily for us, the Twilight's Hammer cultists have decided to invade his lair. They're seeking to bind his elementals to their will. We will take advantage of the chaos.

With the Stonefather taken prisoner, our forces are demoralized. Normally any one of mine could take five times his number of stone troggs. But now.... I want you to head out into the field surrounding the town. Plant Stonefather Oremantle's banner near my defenders.
