I wasn't sure who or what I was supposed to escort - so, for those who are wondering - Roughneck is a giant, long-necked dinosaur. He patrols along the road the quest marker leads you to, so if you don't see him immediately, try going up towards the bridge or down the road.

Where to go

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.
